Abstract:

With the increasing interest in integrative therapies in human, animal owners are seeking similar therapies for their pets. Many private veterinary practices and some veterinary teaching hospitals are offering Integrative Veterinary Medicine (IVM) modalities as an adjunct to the Western therapies. The results of a recently published retrospective analysis of 5,195 integrative patient treatment sessions suggest that acupuncture, laser therapy and hydrotherapy were utilized in more than 50% of the patients. To make IVM as an integral part of veterinary practice, efforts need to be made during veterinary education of the future veterinarians. Appropriate IVM curriculum would include basic concepts of IVM, acupuncture, manual therapies, botanical medicine, integrative nutrition and physical rehabilitation. Joint efforts between IVM-related organizations are needed to assist veterinary students in learning IVM, helping veterinary faculty to become certified in IVM modalities and to increase public awareness of the IVM benefits.

Abstract:

Aim: The study was conducted to evaluate the ability of BMSC to repair the degenerated beta cells of the pancreas in induced diabetic rat model.

Material & Methods: The present study was conducted on 60 adult female Sprague Dawley rats weighing 150-200 gm, divided into three groups; the first group infused with physiological saline (normal), the 2^nd group subjected to single STZ (65 mg/kg i.p.), the 3^rd group infused with two successive doses of MSC (2.5×10⁶) in the tail vein after induction of diabetic model with interval period of 21 days). The blood glucose level estimated weekly by glucometer for one month, the oxidative stress (GSH & MDA) and the insulin gene expression evaluated at the end of the study. In addition to the histopathological alteration and immunohistochmical reaction for insulin was applied to the pancreatic tissue.

Results: The blood glucose level reduced in the treated group with time till reach its acceptable level while in the diabetic group the glucose level was significantly increased. The GSH was significantly enhanced in treated group while the MDA significantly decreased compared to diabetic model. The treated group showed increased expression of the insulin gene compared to the control positive group. The immunohistochemical analysis for insulin showing increased number and size of pancreatic islets in treated group compared to the control positive one.

Conclusion: The twice injection of BMSC can restore the normal beta cells morphology and function.

Abstract:

The study was conducted in twelve dogs with clinical signs of full thickness non-healing cutaneous wounds brought to the University Veterinary Hospitals of Mannuthy and Kokkalai, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, India to evaluate and compare the efficacy of bovine-collagen and bovine collagen-10% alginate sheets in canine skin wound healing. The dogs were randomly divided into two groups viz., a pre-sterilized bovine collagen-10% alginate sheet (Group-I) and a pre-sterilized bovine collagen sheet (Group-II), on wound surface after thorough surgical debridement under general anesthesia. Re-application of the dressings was carried out at 48 hours intervals for three times followed by weekly bandaging. Wound attributes were studied on the day of presentation and 7^th, 14^th and 28^th days post-application. Skin punch biopsy taken from representative samples on day 28 were subjected to Gomori’s one step trichrome staining to study the extent of collagen deposition and orientation of fibers, fibroblast proliferation and regeneration. The study revealed no significant difference in the efficacy between bovine collagen - 10% alginate and bovine collagen sheets in full thickness cutaneous wound healing in dogs. Both the collagen sheets were well tolerated by the patients with no adverse reactions and healing could be observed within 28 days with near to normal histomorphology. However, addition of 10 percent alginate in bovine collagen dressings could achieve absorption of exudates significantly early, higher rates in reduction of wound surface area, wound contraction and epithelialization.

Abstract:

A cross sectional study was conducted from November, 2014 to April, 2015 on 14508 slaughtered cattle at Yola Abattoir Adamawa State on Postmortem examination. The objectives of the study were to determine the prevalence of Contagious Bovine Pleuro Pneumonia (CBPP), Bovine Fasciolosis and Bovine Tuberculosis (BTB) in slaughtered cattle according to sex and breeds. A regular visit was made to the Yola Abattoir at 6:00 AM seven times a week and this was done for six months. A total of 14508 slaughtered cattle were examined at postmortem and 3418 (23.56%) cases were recorded; CBPP 898 (6.19%), Fasciolosis 1100 (7.58%) and TB 1420 (9.79%). There was statistical significance (P<0.05) in the distribution of the diseases among the slaughtered cattle. However, according to sex out of the 3418 cases, 908 (6.26%) were male while 2510 (17.30%) were female. There was high significance difference in sex distribution of the diseases and in terms of breeds, Adamawa Gudali 1006 (6.93%), Sokoto Gudali 900 (5.51%), Red Bororo 800 (6.20%) and White Fulani 712 (4.91%). There was statistical variation (P<0.05) among the breeds. This study would serve as a valuable tool in monitoring pathological condition in the study area.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of traditional palm wine in East Nusa Tenggara, named Sopi and Moke, through evaluation of total coliform in farms. In this research 36 swab samples were collected which are derived from four farms in the city area Kupang. 36 swab samples consisted of 16 swab samples before application Sopi and Moke and 16 samples after the application Sopi and Moke. Swab samples were analyzed with total coliform test using Violet Red Bile Agar. The research shows that total coliform after application Sopi and Moke was decreased compared to before applied Sopi and Moke. The study also proved that Sopi and Moke has the same capabilities as the commercial disinfectant named Formaldes®. Therefore Sopi and Moke could be used as a natural disinfectant on farms which can be utilized by local farmers in East Nusa Tenggara.

Abstract:

Biotechnology is widely used in animal production with numerous other potential applications. It can be applied for improving animal performance through better nutrition, enhanced production potential or improved health status. Plant biotechnology can produce crops which are embedded with improved nutritional value or incorporate vaccines or antibodies into feeds that will cheaply and effectively protect the animals against diseases. Transgenic manipulation of commensal gut or rumen micro-organisms has considerable potential for improving nutrition, gut development and health in animals. Accelerated growth and leaner carcasses in meat animals and increased milk production in dam cows is achieved by the administration of recombinant somatotropin (SI) and by controlling the expression of the gene with ad hoc promoters thereby preventing severe impairment of the health status of transgenic animals. The paper also unfolds some biotechnologically generated possibilities through the production of genetically modified (GO) crops, value-added traits, added-value feed stuffs (quality traits) as well as the production of dietary enzymes and production of transgenic animals for use in animal production with particular bias on poultry. Animal breeding is another application. While developed nations are leading the way, developing countries are lagging behind due to a number of factors such as lack of man power, poor infrastructure /laboratories, misplaced priorities and lack of self will by both the Government and Management of the various institutions in developing nations. A drastic adjustment and redemptive action by developing and developed nations respectively is suggested as a way forward.

Abstract:

Aim: A feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementations of antibiotic, probiotic, prebiotic and synbiotic on broiler performance, histomorphologic measurements of small intestine and immune response.

Material & Method: A total number of 432, day-old broiler chicks (Ross 308) were obtained and randomly assigned to 1 of 9 dietary treatments for 6 weeks. The dietary treatments were: 1; basal diet; 2, 3; basal diet plus 400, 600 g of phosphomycin product/ton of starter and grower feeds, respectively, 4, 5; basal diet plus (150,200) g of probiotic product/ton of the starter feed and 100,150 g/ton of the grower feed, respectively, 6, 7; basal diet plus 500, 1000 g of a prebiotic product/ton of starter and grower feeds, respectively, 8 and 9; basal diet plus 1000,1250 g of synbiotic product/ton of the starter feed and 500,750 g/ton of the grower feed, respectively.

Results: Birds supplemented with the synbiotic had a greater (P<0.01) feed intake and body weight gain compared with those of others treatments. Feed conversion rate was lower in birds supplemented with all additives than in control birds (P<0.01). The carcass weight was significantly increased in feed additives compared with that of control treatment group (P<0.05). The villus height was significantly increased in feed additives compared with that of control group (P<0.01). Synbiotic treated animals showed increase (p<0.05) in antibody titers against NDV compared to those of the control groups at 28, 35 and 42 days of age.

Conclusion: The result of the present study revealed that these products had promising effects as alternatives for antibiotics in parallel to demand for elimination of growth-promoting antibiotics.
