Apparent digestibility in meat-type guinea pigs as determined by total collection or by internal marker

Veterinární Medicína, 2008
Six adult male meat-type guinea pigs were subjected to three subsequent digestibility trials with 100% alfalfa, 50% alfalfa and 50% sugar cane and 50% alfalfa and 50% concentrate.

Potential contribution of faeces to resuspended PM1−10 in urban environment

Atmospheric Environment: X, 2020
The respirable fraction of resuspended urban road dust contains phosphorous at enhanced concentrations which may imply the potential presence of animal faeces.Specific biomarkers such as faecal sterols and bile acids are commonly used to verify the ...

Microsatellite characterization of Chital deer (Axis axis) by using faecal DNA

Veterinary World, 2013
Aim: To study the genome profile of Chital deer (A.axis) by microsatellite markers using faecal DNA & to assess its usefulness as non invasive method of genotyping. Materials and Methods: DNA was isolated from 44 animals from faeces and blood, out of

Protein Source and Intake Effects on Diet Digestibility and N Excretion in Horses—A Risk of Environmental N Load of Horses

Animals, 2021
Six Finnhorse mares were used in a digestibility trial, in which six typical horse diets were compared. The diets were: (A) haylage 100%; (B) hay 100%; (C) hay 70% and oats 30%; (D) hay 70% and soybean meal + oats 30%; (E) hay 70%, rapeseed meal + oats ...

Heat-treatment, phytase and fermented liquid feeding affect the presence of inositol phosphates in ileal digesta and phosphorus digestibility in pigs fed a wheat and barley diet

Animal, 2010
The aim was to evaluate the effect of heat-treatment, microbial phytase addition and feeding strategy (dry feeding v. fermented liquid feeding) on degradation of phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate, InsP6) and formation and further degradation of ...

Use of Undigested NDF for Estimation of Diet Digestibility in Growing Pigs

Animals, 2020
Undigested neutral detergent fibre (uNDF) is commonly used as an internal marker for the estimation of diet digestibility in ruminants. This work aimed to verify (i) whether the in vivo method with uNDF could be used to evaluate diet digestibility in ...

Rapid detection of Salmonella enterica in primary production samples by eliminating DNA amplification inhibitors using an improved sample pre‐treatment method

Microbial Biotechnology, 2023
Sensitive detection of pathogens in livestock farms is an integral part of the One Health Action Plan of the European Union (EU). Ensuring this requires on‐site testing devices that are compatible with complex matrices such as primary production samples.

A dual marker technique to estimate individual feed intake in young pigs

Animal, 2022
Accurate estimation of individual feed intake (FI) of pigs could help better understand the variation in performance between individual animals. We studied dual marker methods to estimate individual FI in pigs.

Screening of Swiss Pig Herds for Hepatitis E Virus: A Pilot Study

Animals, 2021
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important cause of acute hepatitis in humans worldwide. In industrialised countries, most infections are caused by the zoonotic genotype 3. The main reservoir was found in pigs, with fattening pigs as the main shedders.
