Changes in client behaviour and expectations, and a dynamic business landscape, amplify\nthe already complex nature of veterinary and animal health service provision. Drawing on prior\nexperiences, veterinary clients increasingly pursue enhanced involvement in services and have\nexpectations of relationship-centred care. Co-production as a conceptualisation of reciprocity in\nservice provision is a fundamental offering in the services sector, including human medicine, yet the\nrole of co-production in veterinary ............................
Greater antigenic exposure might accelerate activation and maturation of the humoral\nimmune system. After hatch, commercial broiler chickens can have early (EN) or delayed (DN)\naccess to nutrition, up to 72 h after hatch. The immune system of EN versus DN broilers is likely\nmore exposed to antigens after hatch. This might contribute to activation and maturation of the\nimmune system, but might also influence the development of oral tolerance, thereby altering later\nlife antibody responses. We studied antibody (IgM, IgY, IgA) responses between 21 and 42 d of age\nin fast-growing EN and DN broilers, kept under low (LSC) or high sanitary conditions (HSC). ..................
HbA1c could be an alternative to fructosamine as a marker for glucose levels over a longer period. In this study, we calculated a\nreference interval for HbA1c in dogs and investigated the correlation of HbA1c with hemoglobin and different hematological\nparameters. In total, 110 blood samples from dogs were investigated. Significant negative correlations were found between HbA1c\nand erythrocyte count, hemoglobin concentration, as well as hematocrit. There was a tendency in the red cell distribution width.\nNo significant correlation was found in the reticulocyte number and the erythrocyte indices. In conclusion, there is an association\nof different blood parameters with the HbA1c concentration, which have to be considered for the interpretation of HbA1c....
Small ruminant is an important and integral part of livestock in Ethiopia. Especially, goats are attractive to people of Ethiopia\nbecause of the ability to resist challenges, easily adapt to different ecological regions, and need small land to rearing and small\ninitial capital in which poor people can engaged in the production system. In spite of the presence of large number of goat\npopulation in Ethiopia, it fails to utilize expected productivity due to many factors. Among the factors, which limit the economic\nreturns of goats, diseases stand frontline. Tuberculosis is one the diseases that affect goatsâ?? health and production in Ethiopia. Goat\ntuberculosis is a chronic disease, which is characterized by the development of granulomas, essentially in the respiratory tract and\nrelated lymph nodes, from which the mycobacteria are discharged and contaminate other susceptible animals. Goat tuberculosis\nhas a public health implication in Ethiopia because of the farmersâ?? habit of consuming raw goat milk and its products, and they do\nhave consistent or day-to-day contact with their goats. The etiological agents also transmitted to humans through the aerogenous\nroute from those animals with active cases in the herd. The infection has been reported from several parts of different areas of the\ncountry dependent on the abattoir inspections. Therefore, attention should be given towards the control of tuberculosis in\nlivestock; public health education on zoonotic importance of the disease or awareness creation and the national tuberculosis\ncontrol needs to consider the one health approach, and further epidemiological studies should be undertaken....
Bluetongue (BT) is an infectious, noncontagious, vector-borne viral disease of wild and domestic ruminants. BTV is a member of\nthe Orbivirus genus of the family Reoviridae. The present study aimed to investigate the seroprevalence of BTV in sheep and goats\nin Kassala State, Sudan. It also aimed to determine risk factors associated with BTV infection. The study was carried out by a\nstructured questionnaire survey, and a total of 809 serum samples were collected from sheep................................
