A method was established to rapidly determine 20 kinds of veterinary drug residues including three catagories of antibiotics (sulfonamides, quinolones, and chloramphenicols) and two kinds of triphenylmethanes (malachite green (MG) and leucomalachite green (LMG)) in fish and shrimp, based on dispersive solid phase extraction purification-ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The samples were first hydrolyzed using a dipotassium hydrogen phosphate solution, and then extracted using acetonitrile. Afterward, the extraction solution was dehydrated and salted out with sodium chloride and condensed to nearly dry using a rotating evaporator. This residue was dissolved in 1.0 mL methanol. The resulting solution was purified by dispersive solid phase extraction method with C18 and PSA sorbents, and filtered through a filter. The target compounds were separated employing a ZORBAX C18 column. The mass spectrometer datas were acquired by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of positive and negative modes and quantitated applying the isotope internal standard method. The 20 veterinary drugs showed a good linear relationship in the range of 0.2-300 μg/L. The limits of detection and the limits of quantification were 0.1-0.6 and 0.3-1.8 μg/kg, respectively, while the correlation coefficients were greater than 0.99. The average recoveries at the three spiked levels (1, 5, and 20 times of quantitative limits) ranged between 72.5%-118%, with the relative standard deviations of 1.9%-9.8%. The advantages of method include a simple pretreatment, a high detection efficiency, and a low cost. Moreover, it is suitable for the simultaneous determination of multiple veterinary drug residues in fish and shrimp.

Background: Maintaining gut health is a persistent and unresolved challenge in the poultry industry. Given the critical role of gut health in chicken performance and welfare, there is a pressing need to identify effective gut health intervention (GHI) strategies to ensure optimal outcomes in poultry farming. In this study, across three broiler production cycles, we compared the metagenomes and performance of broilers provided with ionophores (as the control group) against birds subjected to five different GHI combinations involving vaccination, probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils, and reduction of ionophore use.

Animals infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae not only develop respiratory diseases, but also cause digestive diseases through the lung-gut axis mediated by the intestinal flora, and vice versa. Antimicrobial peptides are characterized by their bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal flora-regulating properties. However, the effect of cecropin AD (CAD) against mycoplasma pneumonia remains unclear.

Background: The excessive use of antibiotics is a major contributor to the global issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a significant threat to human and animal health. Hence, assessing new strategies for managing Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) microorganisms is vital. In this study, the use of mechanically isolated mature adipose cells (MIMACs) and their lysate (Adipolysate) as a new sustainable antimicrobial agent was assessed against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Objective: To measure the prevalence of antibiotic use in dogs and cats, identify the most common antibiotic drugs prescribed, and determine the most common indications for use.
Methods: Point-prevalence survey methodology was used to collect antibiotic prescribing data for cats and dogs from 1 practice day in 2021 at nonacademic primary care and referral practices in the US.
Results: 52 practices participated, comprising records for 2,599 dogs and cats.

One of the biggest public health problems globally is that of iron deficiency anemia. The present research aimed to determine the effect of prebiotics along with iron fortification on iron biomarkers in female anemic rats as some evidence suggests that prebiotics convert increase the solubility of iron, thereby enhancing its absorption. A total of 126 Sprague Dawley rats were fed with sixteen different types of fortified feed containing prebiotics (Inulin + Galacto Oligosaccharides) and Iron Fortificants (Sodium Ferric Ethylenediaminetetraacetate + Ferrous Sulphate).
