... Two 3-month-old goats (Capra aegagrus hircus and C. hircus coreanae) died after ataxia. In both goats, white nodules 3 mm in diameter were scattered from the duodenum to the ileum and well-raised white nodules 2–3 mm–diameter in the mucosa of the small intestine. Histopathologically, numerous mucosal polyps with coccidial oocysts were observed in the small intestine and several schizonts, macrogam ...

Abstract:
... Clostridium tyrobutyricum is described as the main causative agent of late blowing defect in cheese. Currently, there are no fast methods to detect this microorganism in raw milk, which would allow determining the use of milk for fresh or cured cheese. The technique commonly used is the Most Probable Number, which is laborious and non-specific. In this work, we present the optimization of a real-t ...
... Traditional meat freshness evaluation methods are cumbersome and time consuming. In this study, the freshness of goat and duck meat at −1, 4, 10, and 25 °C was monitored by the fluorescent film sensor, and the content of total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) and biogenic amines (BAs) of the samples was also determined using traditional methods. Correlation and partial least squares (PLS) regressio ...

... Theileriosis can be manifested in appreciably variable clinical forms among domestic ruminants and may often become life-threatening. The present report narrates, the quick remarkable clinical recovery of a lactating goat infected with Theileria spp., exhibiting acute insulin-responsive hyperglycemia and hypocalcemia, by providing intensive therapy. A four year old doe was presented with the compl ...
... Bovine cheese whey presents physico-chemical similarity with goat cheese whey, making the occurrence of adulteration of goat dairy beverage by addition of bovine whey possible. This study aimed to develop a green analytical method, using NIR spectroscopy and Data Driven–Soft Independent Modelling of Class Analogies (DD-SIMCA), to verify the authenticity of goat dairy beverage and to detect adulter ...

Abstract:
... Aichivirus C is an emerging virus in goats, but its biological significance remains unknown. In this study, 18 diarrheic and 16 non‐diarrheic faecal samples of kids were collected from a farm with an on‐going diarrheic outbreak in Sichuan Province, China in May 2021. Of these samples, 77.8% (14/18) of diarrheic samples were detected as Aichivirus C positive by RT‐PCR, which was significantly highe ...
... Monitoring and assessing cardiac activity in animals, especially heart rate variability, has been gaining importance in the last few years as an indicator of animal health, well-being and physical condition. This pilot study tested the sensors based on ballistocardiography sensing the mechanical vibrations caused by the animal’s cardiovascular system, which have proved useful in measuring cardiac ...
... Caseins are a diverse family of intrinsically disordered proteins present in the milks of all mammals. A property common to two cow paralogues, αS₂- and κ-casein, is their propensity in vitro to form amyloid fibrils, the highly ordered protein aggregates associated with many age-related, including neurological, diseases. In this study, we explored whether amyloid fibril-forming propensity is a gen ...

Abstract:
... The analysis of natural cobalamins in dairy products still represents an analytical challenge. The matrix’s complexity, low concentration level, light sensitivity, and binding to proteins are just some of the aspects that make their quantification a difficult goal to achieve. Vitamin B12 plays a fundamental role in human nutrition, and its intake is closely linked to a diet that includes the consu ...
... BACKGROUND: Primate lentiviruses (HIV1, HIV2, and Simian immunodeficiency virus [SIV]) cause immune deficiency, encephalitis, and infectious anemia in mammals such as cattle, cat, goat, sheep, horse, and puma. OBJECTIVE: This study was designed and conducted with the main purpose of confirming the overall codon usage pattern of primate lentiviruses and exploring the evolutionary and genetic charac ...
... Livestock is one of the fastest growing sectors in most developing countries and has been undergoing what has been termed as a Livestock Revolution (Delgado, 2003). The rapid population growth and urbanization coupled with emerging evidence of income growth in developing countries especially in Africa have resulted in a rapid increase in demand for livestock products, and this is expected to conti ...

Abstract:
... Analysis of chemical residues in foods is a big challenge for developing countries due to lack of financial and professional resources needed to meet international quality standards for trade. However, the implementation of simple multiclass, multi-residue methods in monitoring programs can provide significant benefits to save cost, time, and labor. The aim of this project was to investigate the “ ...

... Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis caused by species of the complex Echinococcus granulosus, sensu lato in their larval stage. It is an endemic disease in the province of Río Negro, where small farmers generally have both sheep and goats. Lamb vaccination with EG95 was incorporated in 2009 with very good results: in fact, it contributed to a significant drop in prevalence of infection in bot ...
... Anaplasmosis is a tick-transmitted disease due to several species of the genus Anaplasma. In 2019, we demonstrated the presence of Anaplasma capra in two deer species at a zoological park in mainland France. As we suspected its presence in Corsica, we surveyed 11 geographically distant sheep or goat farms. Using molecular tools such as nested PCR targeting 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), citrate synthas ...
... This study aimed to clone the full-length open reading frame (ORF) of goat ANGPTL8 gene sequence, reveal its molecular and expression characteristics, and explore its effect on the differentiation of goat intramuscular preadipocytes. The full-length ORF sequence of goat ANGPTL8 gene was cloned by RT-PCR technology, and bioinformatics analysis was performed by related biological software. RT-qPCR w ...
... Gastrointestinal parasites and their anthelmintic resistance are major constraints to goat production in Ethiopia. Experimental investigation by faecal egg count reduction test (FECRT) and larval cultures were used to assess the occurrence of anthelmintic resistance in naturally infected goats with gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) in Haramaya, Ethiopia. One hundred goats with a minimum of 150 eggs ...
... To review anthelmintic resistance globally in goats including the effect of location, mode of application and dosage on anthelmintic efficacy (assessed using Faecal Egg Count Reduction). Specifically, resistance of the three major classes of anthelmintics – Benzimidazole and Probenzimidazole (BP); Anti-cholinergics (AC); and Macrocyclic Lactone (ML) was investigated. A PRISMA Framework was followe ...
... It is well known that the herbs have therapeutic efficacy against infectious agents including bacterial ones. In the current study, the antibacterial activities of methanolic extracts of nine herbs were evaluated against the resistant enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) using disc diffusion method. Isolation and identification of E. coli and EPEC was done by standard bacteriological methods and PCR as ...
