Trichinella britovi as a risk factor for alternative pig production systems in Greece and Europe

Trichinellosis is an important zoonosis and the most common source of human infection is meat from pigs and wild boars. The European Union (EU) supports alternative pig production systems (organic and free-ranging) as sustainable farming systems. However, these systems that allow outdoor access for farm animals, may create new or reintroduce old risks to public health. During the last years, al...

Effect of Oral and Intramuscular Administration of Ivermectin in Guinea Pigs on Survival of Blood-feeding Anopheles stephensi under Insectary Conditions

Background and purpose: Insecticide resistance in mosquitoes particularly malaia may lead to reemergence of malaria epidemics. This study aimed to investigate the effect of oral and intramuscular administration of ivermectin on guinea pigs exposed to Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes, the main malaria vector. Materials and methods: The effect of ivermectin was studied in oral and intramuscular ad...

The Effect of Formulation Diets Based on Digestible Amino Acids and Lysine Levels on Carcass and Chemical Composition of Broiler

This study was conducted to evaluate the carcass yield, abdominal fat deposition and chemical compositions of thigh and breast muscles of male Arian broilers fed three different lysine levels of 1) high lysine (110% NRC), 2) standard level suggested by National Research Council (NRC) and 3) low lysine (90% NRC) based on two expression ways of amino acid contents of feedstuffs, as total amino ac...
