This study investigated whether pantohematogen has any embryotoxic or teratogenic effects. Pantohematogen is a bioactive substance obtained from the velvet antlers of the Altai wapiti and is used in confectionery products. A total of 180 female Wistar rats were exposed to different doses of the test compound. During the experiment, no significant changes in behavior or appearance were detected. The results showed that pantohematogen did not impair fertility or elevate embryonic loss. However, fe

An important aspect of large-scale parasitoid bee breeding involves maintaining the bees at cold temperatures within insectariums. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cold storage on the viability of both pupae of parasitoid bees and adult insects. Five-day-old pupae and newly emerged one-day-old bees were subjected to different storage durations under refrigeration (complete darkness at a constant temperature of 5 °C). The effects of cold exposure on various biological and reproductive p

Written by Carter Lewis   Published on Vol 4 Issue 2, 2024
Interest in the biochemical composition of amniotic fluid (AF) has expanded across human and veterinary research. Beyond its nutritive and protective roles for the fetus, AF is now recognized for its diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Neonatal dogs possess an immature immune system, rendering them vulnerable to severe pathogens such as canine parvovirus (CPV-2), canine adenovirus type 1 (CAdV-1), and canine distemper virus (CDV), which contribute significantly to early-life morta

Septic arthritis (SA) in horses poses lasting health challenges. Successful recovery depends largely on initiating prompt and intensive therapy that often extends over a long duration. Current diagnostic techniques are inadequate for reliably confirming the full elimination of joint infection. Identifying and characterizing mRNA biomarkers could offer a more accurate alternative. This investigation aimed to pinpoint mRNA biomarkers that indicate the successful clearance of joint infection in equ

Probiotics have been shown to alter oral microbial communities and enhance oral health in both humans and laboratory animals. Despite this, their potential effects on the oral microbiome of felines are not yet well defined. In the present 42-day experiment, twelve healthy cats were evenly divided into two treatments: a control (CON) and a composite probiotic group (CPG). The CPG diet was fortified with Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, and Lactobacillu

Around 5% of cats entering U.S. shelters carry FeLV or FIV, a proportion that amounts to over 100,000 infected animals every year when considering national feline intake statistics. Despite these large numbers, contemporary information about how shelters manage retroviral infections—particularly in regions with persistent overpopulation and heavy cat intake, such as the southern United States—remains sparse. This project set out to document how Florida shelters currently approach retrovirus-rela

Angular front limb deformity (ALD) describes a markedly curved forelimb shape commonly observed in certain chondrodysplastic dog breeds. Typical components of ALD include carpal valgus (VALG), external rotation of the forelimb (ROT), elbow incongruity, and lateral displacement of the radial head. These alterations may result in discomfort and gait abnormalities. However, the clinical implications and breed-related variations in forelimb structure among chondrodysplastic dogs have not been fully
