Impact of deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminated feed on intestinal integrity and immune response in swine
(Elsevier, 2015-02-17)
This study was performed to characterize the influence of consuming DON naturally contaminated feeds on pig's intestinal immune defenses, antibody response and cellular immunity. Sixteen 4-week-old piglets were randomly ...
Euthanasia and management of downer cows on farm : online survey
(2019-03)
The goal of this survey is to make an inventory of the practices usedon farm to euthanize and
manage downers and identify challenges producers face. Our aim is to assemble an overall and
representative picture of current ...
Cannflavins isolated from cannabis sativa impede caenorhabditis elegans response to noxious heat
(Springer, 2023-07-22)
Cannflavins, flavonoids abundantly present in Cannabis sativa, possess a distinct chemical structure comprising a vanillyl group. Notably, the capsaicin structure also contains a vanillyl group, which is considered essential ...
The fecal presence of enterotoxin and F4 genes as an indicator of efficacy of treatment with colistin sulfate in pigs
(2017)
Background :
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains producing multiple enterotoxins are important causes of post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in pigs. The aim of the present study was to investigate the fecal presence ...
Antinociceptive activity of vanilloids in caenorhabditis elegans is mediated by the desensitization of the TRPV channel OCR-2 and specific signal transduction pathways
(Springer, 2023-02-03)
Vanilloids, including capsaicin and eugenol, are ligands of transient receptor potential channel vanilloid subfamily member 1 (TRPV1). Prolonged treatment with vanilloids triggered the desensitization of TRPV1, leading to ...
Post weaning diarrhea in pigs: risk factors and non‑colistin‑based control strategies
(2017)
Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) is one of the most serious threats for the swine industry worldwide. It is commonly associated with the proliferation of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli in the pig intestine. Colistin, a cationic ...
Genetic diversity of group A rotavirus in swine in Canada
(2014-01-09)
Group A rotaviruses (RVA) in pigs have been poorly investigated in Canada. In a continued effort to fill this gap, ten finisher swine farms in Quebec, Canada, were sampled over a nine-month period. The presence of RVA was ...
Impact of Nutrient Restriction on the Structure of Listeria monocytogenes Biofilm Grown in a Microfluidic System
(2017-05-17)
Biofilm formation by the pathogen Listeria monocytogenes is a major concern in
food industries. The aim of this work was to elucidate the effect of nutrient
limitation on both biofilm architecture and on the ...
Host immune response modulation in avian coronavirus infection : tracheal transcriptome profiling in vitro and in vivo
(MDPI, 2024-04-14)
Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a highly contagious Gammacoronavirus causing moderate to severe respiratory infection in chickens. Understanding the initial antiviral response in the respiratory mucosa is crucial for ...
