The porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus (PRRSV) belonging to the Arteriviridae family is the cause of PRRS disease. After being discovered for the first time in the United States in 1987, this illness quickly expanded to Canada. The disease was initially discovered in late 1990 in Germany, from where it quickly spread throughout Europe.

- - IBR (infectious bovine rhinotracheitis) is a respiratory disease in cattle caused by the bovine alphaherpesvirus type 1 (BoAHV-1), which has multiple subtypes and causes serious health issues, including reproductive failures like abortions.
- - The virus can remain dormant in cattle and reactivate under stress or illness, spreading through direct contact or via the reproductive system, and it can also be transmitted through contaminated semen.
- - Diagnosis involves lab tests like cell culture and PCR, while management includes isolating infected animals and vaccination to prevent further spread and reduce symptoms.
Article Synopsis
- Mycotoxins like aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A in contaminated feed can negatively impact broiler chickens, leading to health issues such as weight loss and reduced egg production.
- This study explored how a mycotoxin detoxifier affects the blood profile of broilers fed contaminated feed, focusing on various blood parameters.
- Results showed that using a higher dose (1.6 g/kg) of detoxifier significantly improved blood health indicators compared to both contaminated and non-contaminated feed groups.
Background And Aim: 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a persistent organic pollutant toxic to the human reproductive system. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of α-Tocopherol administration on the male fertility parameters of a rat model exposed to TCDD.
Materials And Methods: Fifty healthy 12-week-old male rats were randomly divided into five groups.
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a persistent organic pollutant that induces overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Studies on avoiding the adverse effects of dioxin pollution exposure are needed in all aspects, including reproductive health. This study aimed to determine the effect of -tocopherol on superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, live spermatozoa, apoptosis, and necrosis in male rats exposed to dioxin as a model.

However, innovation is required to maintain the quality of Kacang goat semen in storage. This study aimed to examine the effects of supplementing the 150 kDa protein assumed as IGF-I complex derived from bull seminal plasma in skim milk-egg yolk extender on the quality of Kacang goat sperm stored at 5°C.

Materials And Methods: Twelve racing mares suspected with PCL were diagnosed using transrectal palpation and confirmed by serum progesterone (P4) concentration measurement.
Background And Aim: Kacang buck sperm is cryosensitive due to the seminal plasma of semen itself. Meanwhile, bull seminal plasma contains the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) complex, which is cryoprotective. The addition of the crude protein of Simmental bull seminal plasma increased the quality of post-thawed semen of Kacang buck.

Aim: This study aimed to determine the morphology, histology, and histometry of paryphasmata and hemibaculum based on Snout-Vent Length (SVL) as an indicator of sexual maturity.
Since the damage to alveolar tissue due to cigarette smoke exposure (CSE) is lipid peroxidation, antioxidant treatment is needed. The red guava ( L.) fruit contains antioxidants derived from quercetin, lycopene, and vitamin C.

Materials And Methods: The experiment was conducted on 174 lactating HF dairy cows reared by farmers at different locations under similar conditions. The age, parity, and body condition score of experimental animals were limited to 0.
