Influence of Effective Microorganisms on selected serum biochemical parameters in Japanese quails infected with Cryptosporidium parvum

Abstract

Sokół R., Gesek M., Raś-Noryńska M., Michałczyk M., Koziatek-Sadłowska S.Influence of Effective Microorganisms on selected serum biochemical parameters in Japanese quails infected with Cryptosporidium parvum Summary Dietary supplements and symbiotic cultures of bacteria are used in commercial poultry farms to stimulate the birds' metabolism. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of Effective Microorganisms (EMTM) administered in feed and water to quails infected and not infected with C. parvum on selected serum biochemical parameters. The resulting infection with C. parvum was subclinical, and parasitological tests revealed no ooysts in fecal samples, but in histopathological examination parasites were seen in the tissue samples. Blood for biochemical analysis was sampled on days 0, 3, 6 and 9 post infection. Lower CHOL levels, lower LDH activity and higher TP content were observed in quails administered EM. Changes in the remaining parameters (ALT, AST, ALB) remained within the respective norms.

Effective Microorganisms (EM) Improve Internal Organ Morphology, Intestinal Morphometry and Serum Biochemical Activity in Japanese Quails under Clostridium perfringens Challenge

“…Total protein levels on the 12th day and between experimental groups showed differences, with lower levels in the CP + EM group. These data differ from Sokół et al’s [ 23 ] observations in which no differences were noted. Additionally, LDH levels in the EM-supplemented group showed lower values.…”

“…Additionally, LDH levels in the EM-supplemented group showed lower values. Sokół et al [ 23 ] did not find differences in LDH levels in quails. All this information provides promising observations about the protective value of EM, which lowers cholesterol, LDH, and total protein levels in C. perfringens -infected quails.…”

“…Abd [ 35 ] showed similar data, with lower cholesterol levels in EM-supplemented chickens. Sokół et al [ 23 ] did not find differences in cholesterol levels in EM-supplemented quails. Total protein levels on the 12th day and between experimental groups showed differences, with lower levels in the CP + EM group.…”

“…Wondmeneh et al [ 21 ] compared mortality level, weight gain, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) between the control and EM groups of native chickens and found no differences. In Japanese quails, Gesek et al [ 22 ] examined the effect of EM supplementation on intestinal morphology and morphometry (with positive morphometrical data in the EM group), and Sokół et al [ 23 ] evaluated biochemical parameters in quail inoculated with Cryptospordium parvum with no significant differences between EM supplemented and EM + C. parvum groups.…”

Influence of effective microorganisms on pikeperch nonspecific humoral immunity, general condition, and development

“…Administering microbiological products, or probiotics, is an approved immunomodulation approach used in the rearing of endothermic and ectothermic animals, including aquaculture animals (Newaj-Fyzul and Austin 2015, Sokó³ et al 2017, Van Vliet et al 2006, Wang et al 2008. Probiotic products are mostly administered to stimulate the response of the congenital immune systems of fishes at different stages of their development.…”
