Nanotechnologies are developing continuously, and their use is becoming more diverse and concrete, with high potential to improve the products of animal husbandry and animals in general. Yet, there have been few studies of nanotechnologies in those spheres. However, to confirm the efficiency and,...

Environmental pollution is a major global problem, posing a severe risk to humans and animals and limited data are available on the haematology of farm animals with heavy metal contamination due to exposure to crude oil pollution. This study was therefore conducted to assess the blood profile of ...

Rabbits have been a popular domesticated pet for many years, with 2% of adults owning a rabbit and over 900 000 estimated to be owned within the UK alone, however, few people understand the requirements of rabbits for a happy, healthy life. They are often hospitalised for dietary issues (dental...

This study was conducted to detection of aflatoxinB1 residue in liver and kidney by HPLC technique before and after adding Aqueous Myrtus communis and study some blood biochemical parameter on local male rabbits feed naturally contaminated by mycotoxins. Thirty two local male rabbits at age 4-5...

The rabbit's complex microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) plays a critical role in feed digestion, in vitamin production, in fermentative activity with production of volatile fatty acids, and stimulation of immune response, as well as in the infection defence against pathogens and...

Technique, after supplementation of dietary N-acetyl glutamate (NCG) on male Rabbits 'and study liver enzyme, total protein and Creatinine. Mycotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites with bioaccumulation levels leading to their carry-over into animal fluids, organs, and tissues For this fact,...

A study was carried out to determine nutrients digestibility, growth performance and carcass characteristics of weaner rabbits fed graded levels of Ackee Leaf Meal (ALM). Twenty weaner rabbits were randomly assigned to four treatments (T0 - 0% ALM, which served as the control, T1 - 7.5% ALM, T2 -...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been linked to a higher prevalence of sudden cardiac death (SCD), but the mechanisms are not well understood. One possible underlying mechanism may be an abnormal modulation of autonomic activity, which can be quantified by analyzing heart rate variability (HRV). Our...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of dietary supplementation with taurine on production performance, serum biochemistry, immunoglobulin, antioxidant and hormones of Angora rabbits. A total of 160 8-month-old Angora rabbits with similar body weight were randomly assigned to one of four...

Postweaning feed restriction preserves rabbit digestive health after weaning, but the underlying physiological mechanisms are not yet understood. To elucidate whether the feeding intake pattern modification related to feed restriction might be involved, we studied the effects of both feed intake...
