Changes in Expression of Key Genes in Ceca of Chicken Broilers as Affected by Glyphosate, Antibiotics and a Coccidiostat.

Studies have shown the presence of residual amounts of the herbicide glyphosate in poultry feed, which leads to its bioaccumulation in the body. Recently, it has been established that exposure to low levels of glyphosate over a long period may have serious negative effects on poultry health. Moreover, combined exposure to several toxicants can potentially lead to additive and/or synergistic effects.

Assessing the Risk of Spreading and Its Toxins Within the Dairy Farm.

currently constitutes a major pathogen of the gastrointestinal tract, which poses a significant growing burden on medicine and veterinary medicine in many regions. A farm was assessed (feed table, silage pit, and feces (healthy animals, emaciated animals, and animals with mastitis)) for the presence of toxins using the PCR method and for the microbiome in cow feed and feces using NGS technology, one month apart. toxin A and binary toxin were detected in feed samples.

Magnetoelectric effects in magnetic films with alternating magnetic anisotropy: the emergence and stability of Bloch points.

Magnetic topological states are a subject of intense investigation due to their potential for advancing scalable logic and information storage technologies. In this article, we investigate topological defects in magnetic films, focusing on Bloch point-like singularities in magnetization distribution with significant implications for magnetoelectric and ferroelectric properties. We explore exchange-coupled ferromagnetic films composed of alternating magnetic layers with distinct in-plane and out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy.

Probiotics as an alternative to antibiotics in modulating the intestinal microbiota and performance of broiler chickens.

Aims: Gut bacteria play an important role in poultry nutrition and the immune defense system. Changes in the intestinal microbiome affect the physiological state, metabolism, and innate immunity of poultry. The present study aimed to characterize age-related changes in the gastrointestinal tract microflora in broiler chickens, depending on supplementation of the diet with the in-feed antibiotic Stafac® 110 and a Bacillus subtilis strain-based probiotic.

Investigating adverse effects of chronic dietary exposure to herbicide glyphosate on zootechnical characteristics and clinical, biochemical and immunological blood parameters in broiler chickens.

Although the herbicide glyphosate is widely used globally and considered safe, more evidence of its adverse effects on animals and humans is accumulating. The present investigation was aimed at evaluating the impact of different glyphosate concentrations on zootechnical characteristics and clinical, biochemical and immunological blood parameters in Ross 308 broiler chickens. Four groups were employed, including untreated control and three experimental groups fed diets enriched with glyphosate at doses of 10, 20 and 100 ppm that conformed to 0.
