Sensitivity, specificity and comparison of three commercially available immunological tests in the diagnosis of Cryptosporidium species in animals

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT The study was conducted to compare the specificity of immunological diagnostic methods used for the diagnosis of Cryptosporidium species capable of causing life-threatening infection in both immunosuppressed and immunocompetent patients. For the detection of Cryptosporidium species in 79 animals...

Evaluation of growth performance and gastro-intestinal parameters on the response of weaned piglets to dietary organic acids

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 90 (1), 2018
ABSTRACT Two experiments (E) were carried out to evaluate the effects of fumaric acid and an acidifier blend [composed by calcium formate, calcium lactate and medium-chain fatty acids (capric and caprylic)] in piglet diets containing colistin (40 ppm) or halquinol (120 ppm) on performance, diarrhea incid...

Clinical, blood gas and biochemical profile of diarrheic dairy calves fed starter concentrate containing citrus pulp as a replacement for corn

Pesqui. vet. bras; 37 (8), 2017
The objective of this study was to evaluate clinical signs, gas analysis, and metabolic effects of diarrhea in milk-fed calves consuming starter feed containing citrus pulp (CP) as a replacement for corn. Twenty-four newborn Holstein male calves were distributed into treatments according to starter compo...

Detecção de coronavírus em amostras de fezes diarreicas de búfalos ( Bubalus bubalis ) criados no Estado de São Paulo

A diarreia neonatal pode ser consequência de infecções bacterianas, endoparasitarárias e virais. Enquanto esses agentes virais são extensamente estudados nos rebanhos bovinos, faltam informações sobre a importância destes para os rebanhos bubalinos brasileiros. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avali...

Serum concentrations of acute phase proteins and immunoglobulins of calves with rotavirus diarrhea

The aim of the present study was to characterize changes in acute phase protein levels according to the occurrence of rotavirus diarrhea in calves in the first month of life. Blood and fecal samples were taken before colostrum intake and at 1, 2, 7, 15, 21 and 30 days of age from 24 Holstein calves allot...

Organic acids in diets of weaned piglets: performance, digestibility and economical viability

Organic acids are used as feed additives to promote growth of weaned piglets since they prevent the occurrence of diarrhea. Thus, performance and digestibility assays were conducted and economic viability of diets was evaluated. In the performance assays, 64 hybrid piglets weaned with a mean weight of 5....
