Abstract Sardinia is one of the five Longevity Blue Zones (LBZs) in world. Compared to other LBZs, percentage male centenarians much higher. Due island’s isolation, genetic traits Sardinian people have shown that they are direct descendants their Nuragic ancestors from Neolithic era. To survive during times food scarcity, many “famine foods” created; acorn bread containing clay, cheese ripened ...

Serotoninergic pathways are involved in economically important bovine gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders such as displaced abomasum and cecal dilatation/dislocation. The existing research tools to investigate the role of serotoninergic pathways in such disorders in ruminants comprise functional pharmacological methods, e.g., in vitro contractility studies in tissue baths, and electromyogr...

The objective of the experiment was to determine the optimal dose of copper oxide wire particles (COWPs) to reduce infection of Haemonchus contortus in male lambs. Five to six-month-old hair breed lambs were housed on concrete and fed 450 (L; n = 25) or 675 g (H; n = 25) corn/soybean meal supplement and bermudagrass hay. In July, lambs were inoculated with 10,000 L(3) larvae (97% H. contortus; ...
