Animal species detection is one of the crucial steps for consumer's food analysis. In the present study we developed an in-house built loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid detection of adulterated cow DNA in goat milk/meat samples. The cow milk/tissue DNA in goat milk/meat...

Successful reproductive management in buffaloes depends on effective estrus detection. Urinary pheromones identified from natural estrous cycle have been reported to decipher estrus phase. However, its presence has not been analyzed in the urine after synchronization. Thus, our present...

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the only stem cells in adults that can transfer genetic information to the future generations. Considering the fact that a single SSC gives rise to a vast number of spermatozoa, genetic manipulation of these cells is a potential novel technology with feasible...

Frequent vaccination failures have occurred in the broiler farms in Eurasian countries during Newcastle disease outbreaks. The disease is enzootic in many countries of the region, especially in southwest Asia. I-2 vaccine has been used successfully in village chickens in many Asian and African...

Although Helicobacter pylori has a significant impact on the occurrence of severe clinical syndromes, its exact ways of transmission and origin have not been identified. According to the results of some previously published articles, foods with animal origins play a substantial role in the...

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is an economically important poultry pathogen with a worldwide distribution that may infect a wide range of domestic and wild avian species. The identification of different pathotypes of NDVs plays an important role in the diagnosis and development of vaccines to...

Bacterial co-infections can probably influence the pathogenicity of H9N2 low pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of exposure time to Escherichia coli (O:2) on the pathogenicity of H9N2 AIV in broiler chickens. Three hundred and sixty broiler chickens were ...

The enzootic bovine leucosis (EBL) and bovine leptospirosis are infectious diseases that have a negative economic impact on the cattle industry. Diagnosis is carried out by detection the specific antibodies. There are not studies correlating either serological results for EBL and leptospirosis in...

The objective of this review is to address the main strategies for mitigation of methane production by ruminants. Among the anthropogenic activities cattle ranching are considered one of the most responsible global warming. Given that, ruminants are major producers of methane, which is a major...

It was evaluated the influence of different proportions and hay particle sizes (two and ten mm) on body weight (BW), dry matter intake (DMI), physiological parameters and ingestive behaviour of sheep. The experiment was conducted in Uberlandia using five cannulated sheep, housed in metabolic cages...
