Maternal acrylamide exposure changes intestinal epithelium, immunolocalization of leptin and ghrelin and their receptors, and gut barrier in weaned offspring

Siemowit Muszynski et al.

Summary: The study found that in utero exposure to acrylamide (ACR) disrupts the postnatal development of the small intestine, causing changes in morphology, gut hormones, intestinal barrier function, gut enzyme activity, and apoptosis and proliferation.

Growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, cecal mucosal cytokines and serum antioxidant responses of broiler chickens to dietary enzymatically treated yeast and coccidia challenge

Emmanuel Oluwabukunmi Alagbe et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of enzymatically treated yeast (ETY) on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, intestinal morphology, antioxidative status, and cecal mucosa cytokines of coccidia-challenged broiler chickens. The results showed that dietary ETY improved feed efficiency and nutrient utilization, enhanced intestinal development, and attenuated the adverse effects of coccidia infection in broiler chickens.

Host-mediated beneficial effects of phytochemicals for prevention of avian coccidiosis

Inkyung Park et al.

Summary: Green tea extract, cinnamon oil, and pomegranate extract have beneficial effects on avian coccidiosis. They enhance the immune response and stability of tight junction in chicken intestinal cells, and exhibit antibacterial activity against Eimeria tenella and Clostridium perfringens. Additionally, feeding broiler chickens infected with coccidiosis with these phytochemicals improves growth and reduces disease responses.

Basal Intestinal Morphology, Immunolocalization of Leptin and Ghrelin and Their Receptors in Newborn Wistar Rats after Prenatal Exposure to Fumonisins

Ewa Tomaszewska et al.

Summary: Contamination of animal feed with mycotoxins, especially fumonisins, is a global concern. The impact of fumonisin exposure on animal health, veterinary care costs, and breeding losses cannot be estimated due to lack of information on the amount of fumonisins consumed. Prenatal exposure to fumonisins can lead to developmental issues in offspring, making it necessary to study the effects of fumonisin exposure during the prenatal period on postnatal development.

Microbiome of Ceca from Broiler Chicken Vaccinated or Not against Coccidiosis and Fed Berry Pomaces

Chongwu Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of coccidiosis vaccination and dietary berry pomaces on the cecal microbiome of broiler chickens. The results showed that vaccinated birds had a lower abundance of Lactobacillus and a higher abundance of Escherichia coli compared to non-vaccinated birds. The addition of American cranberry or lowbush blueberry pomace to the diet increased the abundance of Lactobacillus and decreased the abundance of Escherichia coli. Overall, coccidiosis vaccination and dietary berry pomaces significantly affected the cecal microbiota, virulome, resistome, and metabolic pathways in broiler chickens.

Botanicals: A promising approach for controlling cecal coccidiosis in poultry

Zohaib Saeed et al.

Summary: Avian species are facing the problem of coccidiosis, particularly cecal coccidiosis, which is dangerous and economically important for chicken and turkey flocks. Traditional methods of control, such as coccidiostats and chemicals, are being banned, leading to the exploration of alternative methods. Vaccines have been used but face challenges of efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Botanicals, which contain various active compounds, show promise as anticoccidials due to their antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities. However, further research is needed to confirm their effects and mechanisms of action.

Phytochemical control of poultry coccidiosis: a review

Nahed A. El-Shall et al.

Summary: Avian coccidiosis is a serious parasitic disease in chickens caused by Eimeria protozoa. It leads to intestinal damage, poor growth, and increased susceptibility to other diseases. While drugs and vaccines have been used to control the disease, natural alternatives like herbal medicine have emerged as safe and effective options. Herbal additives have been found to inhibit the development of Eimeria species, reduce oocyst counts, and improve intestinal health.

Summary: The results of the study suggest that using sgRNA and Cas9 RNA against Eimeria tenella in chickens resulted in lower lesion scores and oocyst scores (P < 0.05) in experimental groups compared to control groups. The findings and concepts presented in this research could lead to the discovery of novel nucleic acid therapeutic drugs for Eimeriasis and other parasitic infections, providing insights into the development of species-specific anti-parasitic agents.
