Lithocholic Acid Alleviates Deoxynivalenol-Induced Inflammation and Oxidative Stress via PPARγ-Mediated Epigenetically Transcriptional Reprogramming in Porcine Intestinal Epithelial Cells.
(American Chemical Society, 2024-03-13)
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a common mycotoxin that induces intestinal inflammation and oxidative damage in humans and animals. Given that lithocholic acid (LCA) has been suggested to inhibit intestinal inflammation, we aimed ...
Breed effects and heterosis for weight traits and tick count in a cross between an indigenous fat-tailed and a commercial sheep breed
(Springer Link, 2021-02-15)
Ticks can compromise productivity and welfare in free-ranging sheep. Chemical tick control may not be sustainable in the long term. Alternative control measures must be sought for an integrated control programme. Birth and ...
The effects of feeding dried browse leaves on rumen ammonia levels, methanogens and protozoa amplification of sheep in the Coastal Savannah of Ghana.
(Springer Link, 2023-02-14)
Tanniferous browse leaves are reported to inhibit methanogens and protozoa activity in the rumen, thus contributing to a reduction of methane emission. This study evaluated the influence of feeding dried browse leaves to ...
Epidemiology of epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) in fish in the main water bodies of the Kavango–Zambezi and Great Limpopo transfrontier conservation areas of Zimbabwe
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2022-12-12)
A three-year study investigated the epidemiology of epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) in fish from Kavango–Zambezi (KAZA) and Great Limpopo (GL) transfrontier conservation areas of Zimbabwe. A total of 38 sites comprising ...
On exploring bivariate and trivariate maps as visualization tools for spatial associations in digital soil mapping: A focus on soil properties
(Springer Nature, 2023-04)
The benefits of digital soil maps cannot be overemphasised. For many years, researchers have mapped different soil classes, properties and processes while identifying the spatial associations between soil properties using ...
Lactoferrin Relieves Deoxynivalenol-Induced Oxidative Stress and Inflammatory Response by Modulating the Nrf2/MAPK Pathways in the Liver.
(NLM (Medline), 2023-05-31)
Deoxynivalenol (DON), one of the most common mycotoxins contaminating food and feed, has been shown to induce hepatotoxicity. Lactoferrin (LF) enriched in human milk is a critical functional food component and performs the ...
Gum: Sytamatic and thematic analysis of the top 100 most-cited articles indexed in the Scopus database.
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-11)
The study attempted to use systematic and thematic analysis of reported top 100 cited articles on Gum research. We adopted systematic and thematic analysis using bibliometric analysis tools, such as Scopus database to ...
Microsatellite marker analysis of Tswana cattle kept under in situ conservation at Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
(Fundacion CIPAV, 2021)
The study was carried out to assess genetic diversity of Tswana cattle conserved at Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN) farm. Twelve microsatellite markers recommended by the International Society ...
Lactoferrin Attenuates Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction and Inflammation by Modulating the MAPK Pathway and Gut Microbes in Mice
(Oxford Academic, 2022-11)
Background: Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a major mycotoxin present in staple foods (particularly in cereal products)
that induces intestinal inflammation and disrupts intestinal integrity. Lactoferrin (LF) is a multifunctional ...
Effect of stocking density on performance of broiler chickens
(FUTO, 2020)
A study was conducted to investigate the effect of stocking density on growth performance of broiler chickens reared at five stocking densities (i.e., 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 birds/m2) up to 35 days of age in an open-sided ...
