A total of 126 Salmonella spp. isolates from pigs belonging to 13 serotypes (Typhimurium, Derby, Infantis, Enteritidis, Agona, Kaapstad, London, Montevideo, Bredeney, Give, Oritamerin, Schwarzengrund and Tennessee) were tested for sensitivity to 14 antibiotics. Resistance to 1–8 antibiotics was demonstrated in 64 isolates (59.8%), classified into seven serotypes with the most frequent being Sal...

The cystine-knot containing protein Sclerostin is an important negative regulator of bone growth and therefore represents a promising therapeutic target. It exerts its biological task by inhibiting the Wnt (wingless and int1) signaling pathway, which participates in bone formation by promoting the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells to osteoblasts. The core structure of Sclerostin consist...

Rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance (AR) in developing countries is posing a greater health risk and increasing the global disease burden. Lack of access to safe drinking water, poor sanitation and inadequate sewage treatment facilities in these countries are fueling the problem associated with emergence of AR. Rapid proliferation of AR mediated by treated and untreated discharges from hos...

Background: Inorganic iron compounds have a positive effect on the health and growth of broiler chickens. However, limited work has been done in Turkeys. Thus study was conducted to assess dietary supplementation ferrous sulphate growth, immunocompetence traits, carcass quality meat composition Turkey poults. Methods: Day old turkey poults (n=96) were distributed into four treatment groups (T1,...
