Black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens, BSFL) are the most important farmed insect species. This review focuses on the effects of BSFL meal inclusion on the growth, gut health and immune function of pigs. In all age groups, BSFL meals can support comparable feed intake, nutrient utilisation and growth performance replacing conventional protein sources. The bioactive compounds of BSFL (chitin, lauric acid and antimicrobial peptides) can enhance the health of pigs. Due to the varying origins and chemical compositions of BSFL meals, it is challenging to determine an optimal inclusion level. The application can be especially advantageous in weaned pigs to reduce diarrhoea, in which condition BSFL meal may contribute to decreasing the application of antibiotics. BSFL inclusion may also improve meat quality and carcass yields, but due to higher feed intake, the cost of application is higher for growing and finishing pigs. As BSFL meals have non-standard nutrient content and bioactive compound concentrations, for optimal results, it is advisable to determine the mixing ratio based on the source of the insect meal and the farm conditions.","PeriodicalId":7247,"journal":{"name":"Acta veterinaria Hungarica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147832230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although both drugs are widely used in BRDC protocols, limited data exist regarding their cardiac safety in cattle. Forty clinically diagnosed BRDC calves were randomised into four groups receiving either oxytetracycline alone (control), or in combination with DKFS, TIL, or both. Blood samples were collected at baseline (0 h), 8 and 24 h after treatment to measure cardiac and hepatic biomarkers, including heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), cardiac troponin I (cTn-I), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatinine. Elevated H-FABP and cTn-I levels-particularly in the DKFS + TIL group-suggested early-stage subclinical myocardial injury. Increases in AST, ALT and LDH further indicated additive hepatocellular and myocardial stress. Serum creatinine and haematological parameters remained unchanged. These findings provide biochemical evidence that concurrent administration of DKFS and TIL can induce early myocardial damage without overt clinical signs. Monitoring of cardiac biomarkers may serve as a useful tool for detecting drug-induced cardiotoxicity in veterinary settings. Caution is advised when using DKFS and TIL together in BRDC-affected calves.","PeriodicalId":7247,"journal":{"name":"Acta veterinaria Hungarica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147759409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to quantify veterinary drug costs with a particular emphasis on antibiotics, in relation to key production parameters on eight large Hungarian dairy farms (average: 864 cows per herd) from 2017 to 2019. Veterinary drug costs were analysed by product group and indication, with antibiotic costs further categorised by substance class and indication. The average annual cost of veterinary drugs was €75.4 per cow and 0.80 € cents*L-1 milk. Antibiotics accounted for the largest share (39.7%) of total drug costs. Main indications were udder diseases (29.6%), reproductive disorders (26.5%), lameness (11.8%), digestive (11.5%) and respiratory diseases (10.0%). The average annual cost of antibiotics was €29.9 per cow and 0.32 € cents*L-1 milk. On average, 51.8% of antibiotic costs were treating mastitis, 27.8% for lameness, 12.1% for respiratory and digestive diseases and 8.3% for reproductive failures. Most antibiotic costs were for cephalosporins (63.2%), fluoroquinolones (11.1%) and antibiotic combinations (9.5%) (e.g., amoxicillin and clavulanic acid), followed by tetracyclines, macrolides and penicillins. The majority of veterinary drug costs in the surveyed Hungarian dairy herds were attributable to antibiotics, followed by hormones and vaccines.","PeriodicalId":7247,"journal":{"name":"Acta veterinaria Hungarica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147589132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Preoperative CT-based 3D reconstructions revealed varus deformity of the distal femur, valgus deformity of the proximal tibia, internal rotation of the tibial tuberosity and bilateral moderate degenerative changes of the coxofemoral joints, with concurrent grade IV medial patellar luxation. The patient underwent revision surgery with distal femoral osteotomy (DFO), proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO) and Ridgestop placement to augment the medial trochlear ridge. To ensure precise intraoperative alignment, preoperative planning utilised virtual 3D planning and 3D printing to fabricate customised osteotomy surgical guides for both DFO and PTO. Postoperative follow-up revealed no further luxation, with stable weight-bearing ambulation. Radiographic analysis confirmed proper limb alignment and Ridgestop implant placement.

Once activated, ribonuclease L degrades both viral and cellular RNA, ultimately resulting in the suppression of protein synthesis. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of beta-glucan and inactivated parapoxvirus ovis strain D1701, used alongside standard therapy, on serum 2',5'-oligoadenylate synthetase 1 (OAS1) activity. The study included 60 unvaccinated dogs, that displayed respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms of distemper and were confirmed positive using a rapid diagnostic test. Dogs were randomly divided into three groups. Group I received only standard treatment, Group II was given beta-glucan 1.3/1.6 in addition to standard treatment, and Group III received inactivated parapoxvirus ovis strain D1701 alongside standard therapy. After treatment, OAS1 levels increased by 74.4% in Group I, 8.96% in Group II, and 142.45% in Group III compared to pre-treatment levels. These results suggest that serum OAS1 levels increased in treated dogs with distemper, with the increase being lowest in the beta-glucan group. However, additional studies directly correlating serum OAS1 levels with disease severity or prognosis are needed.","PeriodicalId":7247,"journal":{"name":"Acta veterinaria Hungarica","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147281649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although chorioptic mange is common, its effects on cow welfare through behavioural and physiological indicators remain unclear. The effects of topical eprinomectin for chorioptic mange on behaviour and salivary cortisol concentrations, indicators of cow welfare, were examined. In Study 1, total lying time after treatment, a key indicator of improved comfort in cows, showed a significant increase of 35 min. In Study 2, itching behaviour (P < 0.05) and salivary cortisol concentrations (P < 0.01) both significantly decreased after topical eprinomectin. All mites were identified as Chorioptes texanus via CO1 gene sequencing. Although no untreated control group was included due to ethical constraints, these results strongly suggest that Chorioptes spp. infection is a physiological stressor that negatively affects behaviour and elevates cortisol concentrations.
