This research intended to assess the energy metabolism indices (BHBA, NEFA and glucose) and evaluate the diagnostic relevance of oxidative stress indicators oxidant (MDA) and antioxidant (TAC and PON-1 enzyme ) , lipid profile and liver enzymes in pregnancy toxaemia in ewes. The study comprised a total number of 72 late pregnant ewes (14-20 weeks of gestation). Ewes were divided based on the result of clinical and biochemical findings (glucose and BHBA) into three groups; a clinical pregnant toxemic group (CPTG) (n=36), a subclinical PTG (n=20) and a control group (CG) (n=16). Blood samples were collected for each group and a panel of biochemical parameters was measured. Most of the biochemical markers showed notable variations in comparison with the control group (P < 0.05). BHBA, NEFA, MDA, Liver enzymes (ALT, AST and γGT), Triglycerides and VLDL in clinical and subclinical pregnant toxaemic groups showed a significant increase above normal values of control group (P < 0.05). Glucose, TAC, PON-1 enzyme, Cholesterol, HDL, LDL and serum proteins in clinical and subclinical pregnant toxaemic groups showed a significant decrease below normal values of control group (P < 0.05). Based on these findings, we suggest that monitoring changes in the presented energy metabolism indices, oxidant-antioxidant status, lipid profile, liver enzymes and protein assays in late pregnant ewes could be useful in early diagnosis of pregnancy toxaemia. The present study also showed that paraoxonase-1 enzyme (PON1) appears to hold potential as a biomarker for diagnosis of pregnancy toxaemia in ewes.

The purpose of the current study was to explore the hygienic aspects of different dried milks and infant formulas procured from different supermarkets and pharmacies in Assiut city, Egypt. All the samples were examined for some sensory, physical, chemical and microbiological parameters. The obtained results for the examined dried milks and infant formulas showed the mean values of the insolubility index as 3.24 & 2.17 mg, respectively; pH as 6.9 & 7.1, respectively. The chemical parameters showed the results of acidity%, moisture content, total solids%, fat% and SNF%. For the results of coliforms, fecal coliforms & E. coli , all the examined samples were acceptable according to the Egyptian Standards. In contrast, B. cereus was detected in 33.33 & 26.67% of the examined dried milk and infant formula samples, respectively. It was noticed that all the samples were free from Cronobacter species . Unfortunately, the unacceptable samples according to Cl. perfringens were 6.67% of the dried milk and 3.33% of the infant formula samples. The average yeasts & molds count was 1.09 × 10 5 and 1.44 × 10 5 , respectively.

Spring viremia of carp (SVC) is a contagious viral disease that causes high mortality among infected fish. The present study aimed to investigate the expression profile of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) gene following experimental infection of Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) with SVCV. Fish were exposed to SVCV (3.2×10 7 TCID 50 /ml) by immersion for 4 hrs. Then, spleens of both infected and control fish were sampled at various time points (1 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, 5 d, 7 d, 11 d, and 14 d) post-infection (pi). The expression of TNF-α gene at these time points was assessed using reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). The results revealed a significant upregulation of the TNF-α gene that started from 12 hrs pi and continued to reach its peak at the 3 rd dpi recording a fold change of 2.3 and 6.1, respectively, compared to the control. Subsequently, TNF-α gene expression commenced to regress at 5 th dpi until it became similar to its corresponding control at 11 th and 14 th dpi. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study exploring one of the immune responses of Nile tilapia after SVCV infection.

The harmful economic impacts on chicken production are caused by the bacterium Clostridium perfringens , which is also responsible for necrotic enteritis in chicken. The study's objective is to assess the beneficial benefits of a few phytobiotics as substitutes for antibiotics when treating necrotic enteritis and broiler performance. Seven treatment groups were created at random from 280 broilers. All groups, except the negative control group, faced C. perfringens type A strain seven days after receiving sporulated coccidia oocyst inoculations. G3 and G4 received a basal diet containing 1 and 2 gm of curcumin /kg of diet, respectively. G5 was given a control infection, while G6 received a basal diet containing 1 and 2 gm of propolis /kg of diet. The results revealed that a high concentration of curcumin 1&2 gm/kg as a feed additive had a significant detrimental effect on chicken growth performance. Moreover, the total count of C. perfringens in the cecum was significantly increased and severe histopathological alterations in the intestinal mucosa, including severe sloughing of villi epithelium were detected. On the other side, Propolis, when added to the diet at a dose of 1-2 gm/kg ration, protected the digestive system and ameliorated the pathological lesions induced by the concurrent infections with Eimeria and C. perfringens. Consequently, a considerable decrease in the overall number of C. perfringens in the cecum, and restoration of the normal histological structure of the intestine and the lesions were mild compared to curcumin groups.

Different Eimeria isolates were collected and identified in 50 intestinal specimens. The therapeutic potential of the organic acids and essential oils blends against E. tenella was compared with the anticoccidial drugs toltrazuril and amprolium in broiler chickens. Results revealed that E. tenella was the most frequent identified Eimeria species (48 %) followed by E. acervulina (30 %) and E. mitis (28 %), while the least detected were E. mivati (2%) and E. brunetti (2 %). Organic acids medication reduced the clinical signs and mortality to 33.3 % compared to amprolium (40 %), Essential oils (40 %), and toltrazuril (53.3 %) medicated groups and the positive control (60 %). The best relative body weight gain percent during the experimental course was achieved by birds medicated with organic acids (40 %) and toltrazuril (40 %) followed by amprolium (30 %) and essential oils (30 %) medicated group and the least in the positive control (10 %). The severity of the cecal lesions was reduced similarly by 34 % in all the medicated groups; all scored 2.3 on average in comparison to 3.5 in the positive control. Both organic acids and essential oils were unable to reduce the output of oocysts by over 17% and 3%, respectively, as opposed to 37% in the toltrazuril and 20.6% in the Amprolium treated groups. Microscopic observations revealed their healing effect of on the cecal tissue (epithelium and inflammatory response). The results support the notion that integrating the organic acids and or essential oils may have the ability to induce positive therapeutic effects similar to some chemical drugs such as toltrazuril and amprolium.

This study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of Coxiella burnetii in cows from Assiut Governorate, Egypt. A total of 268 blood samples were collected from cows (176 females and 92 males). The age of these animals ranged between 2 months and more than 3 years. Screened for C. burnetii using indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A total of 15.67% (42/268) was serologically positive. The seropositivity was high in females (19.56%) than males (13.63%). The native breed was more infected (17.44%) than Fresian (13.33%) and mixed ones (11.76%). In cows, a higher seroprevalence was observed in the age group more than 1 to 2 years (22.38%). Dairut city recorded the highest seroprevalence rate (40.74%) of C. burnetii . C. burnetii seroprevalence was higher in hot season (20.10%) than cold season (5.95%). Cows free from ticks recorded higher seroprevalence (22.58%) than those infested with ticks (12%). Cows with fever and pneumonia recorded higher seroprevalence (14.29%) compared to animals with other signs. In conclusion, findings of this study revealed the wide spread of C. burnetii infection among cows at Assiut Governorate, Egypt.
