Reproductive organ weights and semen quality of pubertal boars fed dietary fumonisin B1.
Fumonisins, a group of toxic metabolites produced by the genus Fusarium, are known to be consumed by farm animals and are the causative agent or a suspected contributing factor in farm animal diseases. Pigs are particularly susceptible to fumonisins. Reproductive inefficiency is recognized as the most costly limiting constraint to efficient animal production. To account for potential reproducti...
متن کاملEffects of dietary vitamin supplementation and semen collection frequency on reproductive performance and semen quality in boars.
The present study was undertaken to assess the relevance of increasing the daily provision of dietary vitamins on vitamin metabolic status and semen characteristics of boars under controlled and commercial conditions as well as to evaluate the efficiency of this vitamin supplement to allow boars to cope with intensive semen collection frequency. In the first experiment, 39 boars were allocated ...
متن کاملInfluenza outbreak causes reduction in semen quality of boars
An influenza outbreak occurred at Purdue University’s swine barn, resulting in infection of 28 boars with influenza A virus (H3N2) and causing the death of two boars. The 28 boars, approximately 35 weeks of age, were enrolled in a study at the time of the outbreak and the case report herein describes the effects of the unintended influenza outbreak on sperm production. Semen was collected from ...
متن کاملAmeliorative Potential of Vitamins on Haematological and Biochemical Profiles of Clarias gariepinus Fed Diets Contaminated with Fumonisin B1
Ameliorative potential of antioxidants –vitamins C and E on blood profile of Clarias gariepinus fed diets contaminated with varied levels of fumonisin B1 (FB1) was evaluated. Fusarium cultured maize containing FB1 were used to formulate diets containing approximately 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 mg FB1/kg constituting diets 2, 3, and 4, respectively and other nine diets constituting Diets 5 - 13 with the ...
