Vaccination schedules in small ruminant farms by D.Lacastaa, L.M.Ferrera, J.J.Ramosa, J.M.Gonzálezb, A.Ortína, G.C.Fthenakisc, 2015 Veterinary Microbiology 181: 34-46
In Significant Impact Groups: Pathogen management \ Vaccination
Species targeted: Sheep;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
Development and implementation of health management plans is the cornerstone of profitable farms; prevention of microbial diseases by means of vaccination is an integral part of such a plan. In every production type and management system in small ruminants, microbial diseases have a major significance, hence their proper control must be based in good health management practices, including use of effective and safe vaccines. The article reviews and discusses vaccination programs and latest advances in development of vaccines against diseases that cause major economic losses in small ruminants.

The use of inulin in poultry feeding: a review. by Bucław M. 2016 Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition 100: 1015-1022
In Significant Impact Groups: Feed / gut health \ Feed additives and supplements
Species targeted: Poultry;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
Since the European Union enforced the ban on antibiotic growth promoters in 2006, the research has been focused on natural feed additives which would have a proven positive impact on both production and animal health. Inulin is both the most commonly used and the most effective probiotic additive. The mechanism of inulin interactions with the avian body is complex, multidirectional and not fully understood. Despite a number of unresolved issues, many authors have demonstrated the positive impact of inulin on the host organism. The reports on inulin effects on the body and performance of poultry are often contradictory, as the effectiveness of this prebiotic is strongly dependent on the type and dose used, and the duration of its administration.

Effects of a protected inclusion of organic acids and essential oils as antibiotic growth promoter alternative on growth performance, intestinal morphology and gut microflora in broilers by Yanli Liu, Xin Yang, Hongliang Xin , Si Chen, Chengbo Yang, Yulan Duan, Xiaojun Yang, 2017 Animal Science Journal 88: 1414-1424.
In Significant Impact Groups: Feed / gut health \ Feed additives and supplements
Species targeted: Poultry;
Age: Adult; Young;
Summary:
This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of protected essential oils and organic acids mixture on poultry feeding. Product supplementation improved spleen index, villus height and crypt depth of the jejunum at 42 days when compared with the control (P < 0.05). In addition, secretory immunoglobulin A level of ileal mucosa and trypsin and chymotrypsin activities of intestinal tract were higher in the P treatment. Bacterial sequence analysis of the intestinal tract revealed that protected essential oils and organic acids mixture supplementation changed gut microflora mainly in Lactobacillus. These data suggested that dietary mixture of organic acids and essential oils addition could be used in the poultry industry as an antibiotic growth promoter alternative.

Biochemical proximates of pumpkin (Cucurbitaeae spp.) and their beneficial effects on the general well‐being of poultry species by M. C. Achilonu I. C. Nwafor D. O. Umesiobi M. M. Sedibe. 2017 Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition 102: 16-May
In Significant Impact Groups: Feed / gut health \ Feed additives and supplements
Species targeted: Poultry;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
There is a growing need to increase productivity in poultry. The growth‐promoting antibiotics are administered to poultry to improve the general performance of the chicken. However, the use of the xenobiotic drugs in food‐producing animals has been a concern and a sensitive issue of debate for several decades in the EU and many other regional blocks of the world. Pumpkin seed extract is reported to be useful for immunomodulation, reproductive health, therapeutics over a wide range of disease conditions and stimulates metabolism of accumulated fats. Studies have also shown that pumpkin seeds are a valuable source of protein and fat. Their complexity and extent of bioactivity offers sustainable prospects for natural control of pathogenic/parasitic organisms, stimulate nutrition or enhance resistance to disease infections, and reduce abdominal fat and serum levels of harmful lipids, while increasing serum levels of beneficial lipids.

Summary:
These guidelines for the Australian pig veterinarian are a handy ‘go-to’ resource, as they have been developed specifically for Australian conditions and contain the most contemporary knowledge available on AMR. I commend the work of all involved in the development of these guidelines, and urge every pig veterinarian to become familiar with these to deliver the best possible veterinary service to the Australian pig industry.

Summary:
This research looked upon the possible effect of probiotica Zoolac Bovimix Milk fed to calves from birth until 4 weeks old. There were no effect on the health of the calves since both the control group and the experimental group had similar frequency of antibiotic treatments. However, the calves supplemented with the product containing probiotic and postbiotic had a significantly higher growth performance.

The relationship between transition period diseases and lameness,feeding time, and body condition during the dry period by Daros, R.R., Eriksson, H.K., Weary, D.M. and M.A.G. von Keyserlingk 2020 Journal of Dairy Science 103: 649-665
In Significant Impact Groups: Precision Livestock Farming & Early detection \ Sensor technology
Species targeted: Dairy;
Age: Adult;
Summary:
This research did record feeding time by placing cameras by the feed bunk and using different digital systems. Lameness was scored as well as body conditions score. The results support the hypothesis that lameness during the dry period is associated with transition diseases. Lameness identified 2 mo before calving was associated with increased risk of transition diseases, highlighting the importance of screening cows for lameness around dry-off. One of the mechanisms through which lameness may be associated with TD is through decreased feeding time; throughout the dry period, lame cows spent less time feeding than sound cows, and lower feeding time was in turn associated with higher odds of transition diseases. These results suggest that reducing lameness during the dry period and avoiding over conditioning at dry-off may improve transition health.
