Objectives: Naturally occurring tumours in domestic cats are less common than in dogs and represent the leading cause of death among older animals. The main objective of this study was to analyse a large data set of histologically diagnosed tumours to highlight the most common World Health Organization (WHO) tumour histotypes, the effect of age and sex, and the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology (ICD-O) topographical site predilections of feline breed-specific tumours.
Methods: A total of 680 feline tumours diagnosed in European Shorthair cats by three veterinary diagnostic laboratories located in central Italy from 2013 to 2019 were collected.
Article Synopsis
- Probiotics like CNCM I-1079 can help reduce campylobacteriosis in poultry, a significant health concern in Europe.
- In a study with Ross 308 chicks, those supplemented with probiotics showed better growth, with improved intestinal health including longer villi and deeper crypts.
- The probiotic treatment also increased beneficial gut bacteria while decreasing harmful Campylobacter levels, leading to enhanced overall performance in the chickens.
