A recent report discusses research conducted at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Timisoara, Romania, on animal science. The study examined blood sugar values and intestine mucosa integrity in suckling pigs in relation to their nutritional status. The experiment included healthy piglets aged 1-14 days and piglets suffering from diarrhea aged 1-7 days. The research found that piglets suffering from diarrhea experienced a decrease in blood sugar levels and exhibited morphological changes in the small intestine mucosa. For more information, readers can refer to the article "Blood Sugar Values and Intestine Mucosa Integrity in Suckling Pigs in Relation to their Nutritional Status" published in Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies.

A recent study conducted by researchers from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Timisoara, Romania, examined the histological aspects of medullary bone in hens at different stages of egg formation. The study involved 10 laying hens and observed the formation of the medullary bone over a three-week period. The researchers found that the medullary bone in hens at different stages of egg formation exhibited varying characteristics, including intense ossification, decalcification, and bone remodeling processes. This research provides valuable insights into the development of medullary bone in hens and its correlation to egg formation. For more information, readers can refer to the article "Histological Aspects of The Medullary Bone Correlated To Different Stages of The Egg Formation in Hens" published in Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies.

A recent study conducted by the Research and Development Institute has explored the effects of ochratoxin A (OTA) and aristolochic acid (AA) on a porcine kidney cell line. The study found that both toxins decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner, with AA being more toxic than OTA at higher concentrations. Additionally, the synthesis of IL-8, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, was affected by both toxins, with AA having a more pronounced effect. The study contributes to the understanding of the Balkan endemic nephropathy (BEN), a chronic kidney disease prevalent in rural regions of the Balkans, where OTA and AA are considered responsible.

A recent study conducted by Mary Anne Amalaradjou, an associate professor of animal science at the University of Connecticut, has shown promising results in using probiotics as a growth promoter for chickens. Traditionally, low-dose antibiotics were used for this purpose, but due to antibiotic resistance, alternative methods are needed. Amalaradjou's method involves spraying chicken eggs with probiotics during the incubation period, resulting in increased embryo weight, larger muscle growth, and improved egg hatching rates. This method is cost-effective and easy for farmers to adopt, potentially making chicken production more sustainable. Further research is being conducted to explore the benefits of probiotic treatment on egg production and intestinal development in chickens. [Extracted from the article]
