Read More BACKGROUND: In commercial hatcheries, chicks are deprived of feed and water for up to 72 h, which is a det-rimental effect on growth performance. OBJECTIVES: Two experiments were designed to investigate the effect of hatching parameters and feeding time on the body and organ weights of chickens. METHODS: In the first experiment, 300 of both early- and later-hatched broiler chicks received feed immedi-ately after hatching or 48 h later and were divided into four experimental groups. The body and internal organ weights of chicks were determined for up to seven days. In the second study, 370 embryos, which were incubated in a setter until the 18th day, were transferred to two hatchers, which differed their air and eggshell temperatures. Then, hatching and post-hatched parameters were followed. RESULTS: Comparing early-hatched chicks, later-hatched chicks had significantly greater weight (p <0.05) on day 3 and better yolk utilization and higher relative liver and intestine (p <0.01) weights on day 2. However, early-fed chicks indicated significantly higher body weight (p <0.0001) until day 7 and early yolk utilization and higher internal organ weights than later-fed chicks. In the second experiment, when the air temperature of hatcher A (control) was kept at 37.5ºC, its eggshell temperature was determined at 38.5ºC, while the eggshell temperature of hatcher B was optimized at 37.5ºC, and its air temperature showed 36.5ºC. Earlier hatchability was higher in the control hatcher (46.8%) than hatcher B (27.1%), but later hatchability was reversed. However, final hatchability was lower in hatcher B (96.6%) than the control hatcher (98.3%). CONCLUSIONS: Later-hatched and early-fed chicks showed greater body and internal organ weights, indicating better maturation of these chicks. The results of the second study indicated that the hatching window could be shorter and also shifted to the end of the incubation time by reducing the egg temperature.

Read More BACKGROUND: Background: Y-U pyloroplasty is a surgical approach that is used to relieve pyloric stenosis. The study of different aspects of laparoscopic Y-U pyloroplasty instead of conventional approaches seems to be an appropriate alternative for the development of such surgeries in animals, as pyloric stenosis is an uncommon but important disease. OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to describe the laparoscopic Y-U pyloroplasty in small animals as a new surgical technique, and to compare the duration of surgery, level of surgical stress, and postoperative pain of this method with the conventional Y-U pyloroplasty. It is important to note that this is the first time that laparoscopic Y-U pyloroplasty was performed in dogs. METHODS: A total of eight intact male and female mixed breed dogs were randomly divided into two groups of conventional (n=4) and laparoscopic (n=4) pyloroplasty. Operation time, blood glucose concentration, plasma cor-tisol levels, gastric emptying time, pyloric lumen, and diameter and width of pyloric ring, as well as the University of Melbourne Pain Scale (UMPS) were measured in both groups during pre and postoperative intervals. RESULTS: As a result, the mean operation time for conventional group was significantly lower than that for lapa-roscopic group (38.75±3.15 min vs. 116.25±14.34 min, p <0.05). Blood glucose concentrations in both groups elevated rapidly until 3 hours after surgery and then decreased until 24 hours. Plasma cortisol level in laparoscopic group, however, elevated rapidly until 5 hours after surgery. On the other hand, pyloric diameter and width of pyloric ring significantly increased in both groups. The UMPS in dogs undergoing conventional Y-U pyloroplasty was significantly higher than that in those undergoing laparoscopic Y-U pyloroplasty (p <0.001). Furthermore, pain and gastric emptying time decreased in all dogs. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that laparoscopic Y-U pyloroplasty is an applicable minimal invasive sur-gery that is performed through small incisions for the treatment of pyloric stenosis in dogs.

Read More BACKGROUND: Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in various products. On the other hand, they can cause a variety of toxicity in living organisms, such as biochemical changes and oxidative stress in the liver. Scroph-ularia striata plant can affect the toxicity of AgNPs in diverse parts of the body due to the potent antioxidant compounds. OBJECTIVES: The present study aimed to investigate the modulatory impact of the hydroalcoholic extract of Scrophularia striata on the hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress caused by AgNPs in male Wistar rats. The measured hepatic enzymes and serum biochemical metabolites included alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, albumin, Globulin, total protein, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, total bilirubin, and direct bilirubin. In addition, the assessed blood oxidative stress markers entailed malondialdehyde, total antioxidant capacity, catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPx). METHODS: A total of 30 male rats with an average weight of 200±20 g were randomly assigned to five experi-mental groups of six. Animals in group 1 as the negative control received 2 ml distilled water and in group 2 as positive control received 200 ppm AgNPs (i.e., hepatotoxic dose). The rats in groups 3, 4, and 5 received 20, 60, and 180 mg/kg Scrophularia striata extract and 200 ppm AgNPs in 30 days, respectively. The animals were sacri-ficed under slight anesthesia 24 h after the last treatment. RESULTS: Hepatic enzymes, serum biochemical metabolites, and oxidative stress markers, mainly CAT, SOD, and GPx in groups 4 and 5 were significantly different from the positive and negative control groups (p <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Scrophularia striata plant owing to the presence of some special ingredients, such as flavonoids can compensate for the side effects of AgNPs in the body.

Read More BACKGROUND: Stanozolol and Nandrolone decanoate are the most commonly used hormones in canine medi-cine. They are mainly administered to strengthen the muscle, gain weight, treatment of anemia and stimulate the appetite. One of the effects of hormones is to enhance the erythropoietin production and eventually an increase in the number of RBCs. OBJECTIVES: Prolonged usage of hormones may be relevant to the liver and renal disorders; therefore, the pre-sent survey was aimed to evaluate the effects of stanozolol and nandrolone decanoate on liver and kidney indices, erythropoietin and testosterone serum concentrations and hematocrit changes in healthy dogs. METHODS: Sixteen dogs were randomly categorized in two groups of A (stanozolol) and B (nandrolone decano-ate). Each group was divided into two subgroups (A1, A2 and B1, B2). The second testicle was removed on day 28 in the first subgroups (A1 and B1), and day 42 in the second subgroups (A2 and B2). The first testicle was removed at time zero. Stanozolol (50 mg per dog) was administered to all dogs of group A as IM once a week for six weeks. Group B was similar to group A with the difference that nandrolone decanoate was injected (1 mg/kg) instead of stanozolol. Blood samples were collected on days 0, 3, 14, 28 and 42. RESULTS: Erythropoietin and testosterone concentrations were virtually increased in both groups A (p <0.05) and B (p <0.05). The effect of stanozolol on erythropoietin (subgroup A1) (11.35±1.31 ng/mL) was significantly higher than nandrolone decanoate (subgroup B1) (8.02±0.55 ng/mL) (p <0.05); nevertheless, the changes in testosterone levels, was not significant between groups A and B (p >0.05). The liver enzymes of ALP, ALT and AST were increased more significantly in group A than group B (p <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Erythropoietin and testosterone levels were virtually increased in both groups A and B; how-ever, stanozolol had more significant effect than nandrolone decanoate in increment of erythropoietin; nevertheless, it had more side effects on liver indices. It is suggested that nandrolone decanoate to be administered for the thera-peutic goals.

Read More BACKGROUND: Induction of cholestasis is one of the methods of liver fibrosis which causes the development of oxidative stress, increased expression of fibrogenic markers, excessive deposition of extracellular matrix, and finally the incidence of fibrosis. Plantago ovata is known as a rich source of various secondary metabolites such as phenolic compounds, flavonoids, alkaloids, trypanoids, and ascorbic acid. OBJECTIVES: the present study, the expression of TGF- β as a fibrotic marker and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) changes in cholestatic rats treated with P. ovata extract were evaluated. METHODS: In this study, 48 adult Wistar rats were used. The rats were randomly divided into eight groups of six animals each as follows: (1) healthy control group without bile duct ligation (BDL) surgery and treatment; (2–4) three healthy experimental plus P. ovata groups: rats without BDL, treated with P. ovata at dose levels of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weight, respectively; (5) the BDL group: rats with BDL and treated with distilled water; and (6–8) the BDL plus P. ovata groups: rats with BDL and treated with P. ovata at dose levels of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg body weight, respectively. The rats were treated with P. ovata extract for 45 consecutive days (once per day). After euthanasia and serum isolation, ALP enzyme level was measured. Moreover, the rat liver was fixed in 10% formalin buffer solution. The immunohistochemical study was performed by TGF-β antibody. Data analysis was performed using the One-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test and the Prism statistical program (p <0.0001). RESULTS: The results showed a significant increase in the serum levels of ALP enzyme and TGF-β expression in BDL group. Treatment with P. ovata extract was able to significantly improve these changes in a dose-dependent manner. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed that P. ovata extract probably due to its phenolic compounds and its antioxidant effect has a protective effect on the liver and subsequently improves the increased serum ALP level and also reduced TGF-β expression

Read More BACKGROUND: Rabbits are reflex ovulators with the ovulatory process triggered by neuro-hormonal impulses generated during natural mating. When applying artificial insemination (AI), an array of biostimulation techniques and/or exogenous hormones (e.g., gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) or its analogues) must be used to induce ovulations in female rabbits. However, the effectiveness of various biostimulation techniques and exogenous hormones is not always satisfactory and the use of GnRH analogues is additionally associated with high production costs. Therefore, developing an alternative inexpensive, efficient and safe treatment for the induction of ovulation in artificially inseminated does is urgently needed. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we examined and compared the effects of mated doe serum (MDS) and GnRH analogue (Gonadorelin) administered immediately after artificial insemination on circulating concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) and fertility in New Zealand does. METHODS: Forty artificially inseminated does were allocated to four equinumerous groups that received: 0.2 ml of saline i.m. (Control G), 0.8 µg of Gonadorelin dissolved in 0.2 ml of saline i.m. (Treatment G), 2.5 ml of mixed sex normal rabbit serum i.v. (Control M) or 2.5 ml of mated doe serum (MDS)/doe i.v. (Treatment M). RESULTS: A peak in systemic LH concentrations occurred earlier in Treatment M compared with Treatment G does (71 vs. 107 min post-AI, respectively; P≤ 0.05); mean LH concentrations did not vary (P≤ 0.05) from the pre-AI values in both control groups. Serum LH concentrations remained higher (P≤ 0.05) in Treatment M compared with Treatment G does from 30 to 90 min post-AI but they were greater (P≤ 0.05) in Treatment G than in Treatment M group at 120 and 160 min after AI. Gonadorelin and MDS injections both resulted in the same kindling rate (80%) at each of the four consecutive AI’s (initiated 30 days post-partum) and they were significantly greater than those recorded in control animals (20%). CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that MDS administration is an effective treatment to induce ovulations in rabbits, with the repeatability like that achieved with a GnRH analogue.

Read More BACKGROUND: The seeds of Moringa oleifera are known to have high content of protein and vitamins. The seeds are excellent sources of antioxidants. The seeds were extracted using aqueous extraction method. Thereafter acute toxicity test was carried out.OBJECTIVES: The research was designed to examine the influence of graded dose of aqueous seed extract of Moringa oleifera on testicular pathology, gonadal and extragonadal sperm reserves of Wistar rat experimentally infected with Trypanosoma brucei brucei. METHODS: The rats were randomly divided into five groups (A, B, C, D and E) group E was control. Group A to D were inoculated with 1× 106 virulent T. brucei brucei intra-peritoneal, the rats were kept for one week post infection to exhibit clinical signs prior to commencement of the treatment with the extract. The rats were treated daily at 10:00 AM for five weeks with 75 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg, 125 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg of Moringa oleifera aqueous seed extract for group A, B, C and D respectively. While group E was control received 0.5 ml/kg of water. Blood samples were collected every Monday between 10:00-11:00 AM for hematological indices. At the end of six weeks of the experiment all the rats were humanely sacrificed, gonadal and extra gonadal sperm reserves were harvested and examined and processed for histopathology. RESULTS: Gonadal and extragonadal sperm reserves (sperm× 106) of the rats (group A to E) post treatment revealed significant increased 213±2.3a; 221±3.1; 250±1.7c; 259±2.6d; 295±2.5e and 115±1.1; 160±2.1; 153±0.0; 167±1.7; 120±1.2 respectively, compared to control group at p <0.05 level. Sperm concentration of the right epididymis (sperm× 106) 60.0±0.6a; 90.2±1.1b; 96.5±0.0c; 98.7±0.9d; 69.4±0.6e were significantly higher compared to the left epididymis 5.0±0.5; 69.8±1.1; 56.5±0.0; 68.3±0.8; 50.6±0.6. The blood were evaluated for group A to E and the PCV (%) and WBC (×103/μL) were progressively in group A, B and C compared to group E post infection. Infection with T. brucei at weeks 2 and 3 shows poor semen characteristics, thereafter the semen quality has improved. CONCLUSIONS: Moringa oleifera aqueous seeds extract has significantly reduced the impact of trypanosomosis and improved semen quality of the experimental rats.
