Publication date: 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 6, SupplementAuthor(s): Kabir A. RaheemAbstractImplantation is one of the most critical steps in mammalian reproduction and implantation failure constitutes a major cause of infertility in both animals and humans. The mechanism of implantation is exclusively under the control of ovarian steroids progesterone and oestrogen whose actions are mediated in a complex phenomenon that involves a number of cytokines and growth factors. According to a plethora of literature on implantation in mammalian species, prominent of these cytokines...

Advances in in vitro production of sheep embryos
Publication date: 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 6, SupplementAuthor(s): Jie Zhu, Adel R. Moawad, Chun-Yu Wang, Hui-Feng Li, Jing-Yu Ren, Yan-Feng DaiAbstractSheep is an important livestock in the world providing meat, milk and wool for human beings. With increasing human population, the worldwide needs of production of sheep have elevated. To meet the needs, the assistant reproductive technology including ovine in vitro embryo production (ovine IVP) is urgently required to enhance the effective production of sheep in the world. To learn the status of ovine IVP, we collected so...

Sero-diagnosis of brucellosis in sheep and humans in Assiut and El-Minya governorates, Egypt
Publication date: 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 6, SupplementAuthor(s): Abdelbaset E. Abdelbaset, Mostafa F.N. Abushahba, Maha I. Hamed, Mohamed S. RawyAbstractEgypt is an endemic area with brucellosis, so wherever herd problem associated abortion is present, brucellosis should be suspected, and its sero-diagnosis is needed. The present study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of brucellosis in sheep and their contact humans in Assiut and El-Minya Governorates where a history of abortion in sheep was the chief complaint of the farmers; besides; the appearance of signs of und...

Brucellosis: Evolution and expected comeback
Publication date: 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 6, SupplementAuthor(s): Amr El-Sayed, Walid AwadAbstractBrucellosis is a serious infectious disease which causes great direct and indirect economic loses for animal holders worldwide such as the reduction of milk and meat production through abortions/culling of positive reactors, the expense of disease control/eradication and farmers compensation. Although the disease was eradicated from most of the industrial countries, it remains one of the most common zoonotic diseases in developing countries being responsible for more than 50...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids influence offspring sex ratio in cows
Publication date: 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 6, SupplementAuthor(s): Waleed F.A. Marei, Wael A. Khalil, Anil P.G. Pushpakumara, Mostafa A. El-Harairy, Ahmed M.A. Abo El-Atta, D. Claire Wathes, Ali Fouladi-NashtaAbstractDietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can influence fertility in farm animals. Some evidence in mice and sheep have suggested that PUFAs may influence offspring sex ratio, which may have significant value for cattle production. To test this hypothesis, three groups of Holstein cows were supplemented with either 0%, 3% or 5% protected fat (PF) in the for...

Evaluation of bull spermatozoa during and after cryopreservation: Structural and ultrastructural insights
Publication date: 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 6, SupplementAuthor(s): Wael A. Khalil, Mostafa A. El-Harairy, Alaa E.B. Zeidan, Mahmoud A.E. Hassan, Omnia Mohey-ElsaeedAbstractSemen cryopreservation is a well-established procedure used in veterinary assisted reproduction technology applications. We investigated damaging effects of cryopreservation on the structural and ultrastructural characteristics of bull sperm induced at different temperatures and steps during standard cryopreservation procedure using transmission (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy. We also examined t...

Effect of oviduct and follicular fluids on ram sperm capacitation and acrosome reaction in vitro
In conclusion, treatment of ram spermatozoa with 50 µL/mL of OF or 40 µL/mL of FF for 3–4 h incubation respectively was considered the best level of oviduct or follicular fluid to be used for IVF. (Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine)

PCR-RFLP of bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15/FecX) gene as a candidate for prolificacy in sheep
In conclusion, the accessible findings did not detect any mutation in FecX gene in sheep, regardless their prolificacy. Therefore, further attempts are necessary to detect other SNP for BMP-15 gene in Egyptian sheep breeds. (Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine)

Ethnoveterinary perspectives and promising future
Publication date: June 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 1Author(s): Khaled Abo-EL-SooudAbstractIn this review, we have discussed the recent potential effects of plants and their derivatives in treating diseases of veterinary importance in livestock. The therapeutic value of these natural products depends upon their bioactive metabolites that are developed and isolated from crude plants, thus produced a selective action on the body. The crises of drug resistance in most pathogenic bacteria and parasites that cause economic loss in animals necessitate developing new source...

Protective effect of Monodora myristica extracts on crude petroleum oil-contaminated catfish (Clarias gariepinus) diet in rats
Publication date: June 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 1Author(s): Joel Okpoghono, Fidelis I. Achuba, Betty O. GeorgeAbstractHumans and animals are constantly exposed to crude petroleum contaminated diets in petroleum producing areas of the world. As a result, researches are on-going to find simple ameliorative agent against crude petroleum contaminated diet toxicity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of Monodora myristica on some biochemical parameters of rats fed with crude petroleum oil contaminated catfish diet (CPO-CCD). Thirty male albino...

Advances in rabies prophylaxis and treatment with emphasis on immunoresponse mechanisms
Publication date: June 2018Source: International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, Volume 6, Issue 1Author(s): A El-SayedAbstractRabies is a vaccine-preventable fatal disease in man and most mammals. Although rabies is recorded in 150 territories and is responsible for at least 60,000 human deaths every year worldwide, it is a neglected tropical problem. Most of the rabies free countries are considered to be fragile free as the disease may re-emerge easily through wild mammals. For the performance of effective rabies eradication programs, a complex set of strategies and activities is required. At the time, a join...
