The changes in the physico-chemical, microbiological, textural and sensory attributes of foal salchichón were followed during ripening. Foal salchichón samples were taken at 0 days (mix before stuffing), and after 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49 days of ripening. The final a(w) was 0.82, whereas pH values stayed around their initial values. TBAR'S values increased significantly (P<0.001) during processing, from 0.44 to 2.26 mg/kg of sausage. Ripening time also affected the lightness (L*), redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) (P<0.001). Hardness, gumminess and chewiness increased (P<0.001) from 0.96, 0.6 and 0.47 to 46.92 kg/cm(2), 21.34 kg/cm(2) and 15.14 kg, respectively during processing, whereas cohesiveness and springiness values decreased during ripening. Lactic acid bacteria increased slowly in number and a large increase of Micrococcaceae was noticed. Regarding sensorial characteristics, foal salchichón samples showed high values for intensity of flavour (7.22±0.44), hardness (7.33±0.71) and dryness (6.67±0.71) and low scores for acid taste (1.67±0.71) and saltiness (3.11±0.6).

Equine Herpesvirus-1 Induced Respiratory Disease in Dezhou Donkey Foals: Case Study from China, 2024.

Vet Sci

January 2025

Liaocheng Research Institute of Donkey High-Efficiency Breeding and Ecological Feeding, Liaocheng University, Liaocheng 252000, China.

Equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1) is a significant pathogen that causes substantial economic losses in the equine industry worldwide, which leads to severe respiratory diseases and abortions in horses. However, reports of EHV-1 infection in donkeys are limited, particularly in China. This case study reported an EHV-1-induced respiratory disease in Dezhou donkey foals in Shandong Province, China, in July 2024.

Background: Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV1) is a ubiquitous viral pathogen infecting the equine population worldwide. EHV1 infection causes respiratory illness, abortion, neonatal foal mortality, and myeloencephalopathy. The currently available modified live EHV1 vaccines have safety and efficacy limitations.

Pulse oximetry at two sensor placement sites in conscious foals.

Acta Vet Scand

January 2025

Department of Equine and Small Animal Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Helsinki, Viikintie 49, 00014, Helsinki, Finland.

Background: Pulse oximetry has not been thoroughly evaluated for assessment of oxygenation in conscious foals. Compared with invasive arterial blood sampling, it is a painless and non-invasive method for real-time monitoring of blood oxygen saturation. The aim of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the usability, validity, and reliability of pulse oximetry at two measuring sites (lip and caudal abdominal skin fold) for blood oxygen saturation measurement in conscious foals with and without respiratory compromise.

Fecal microbiota changes associated with pathogenic and non-pathogenic diarrheas in foals.

BMC Res Notes

January 2025

Department of Animal Science, University of California Davis, 2251 Meyer Hall, One Shields Ave, Davis, CA, 95616, USA.

Objectives: Diarrhea is a common disease that could threaten the welfare of newborn foals. While there are several forms of foal diarrhea, the etiologies can be considered known pathogenic or non-pathogenic in nature. Moreover, there are likely differences in the composition of microbial populations in the gastrointestinal tracts of foals depending upon the etiology of diarrhea.
