Abstract

The objective of the study was to determine the effect of prebiotics and synbiotics administered in ovo on the 12th day of incubation, on the development of the intestinal villi and the number of goblet cells in the small intestine of broiler chickens on the Ist and the 4th days of life of chicks. Two prebiotics: inulin (PI) or Bi2tos (PB) and two synbiotics: inulin + L. lactis subsp. lactis (SI) or Bi2tos + L. lactis subsp. cremoris (SB) were injected in ovo on the 12th day of embryonic development. The control group of the embryos was injected with physiological saline (C). On the 1st day of life, an increase in the height of the villi in the jejunum was reported as a result of the injection of pre- and synbiotics, moreover an increase in the surface area of the villi in the jejunum and the duodenum in chicks from the SB group was also observed. A stimulatory effect of synbiotics on the morphology of the duodenum and thejejunum was also observed on the 4th dh day after hatching. Conversely, in the ileum, in the SB group, a reduction in the height of villi was found both on thse 1t and thte 4h days of life. In contrast, injection of inulin and synbiotic with the addition of inulin resulted in an increase in the number of goble...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
