The effect of dha omega-3 feeding in the high yielding holstein herd
The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of supplementary feeding of DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) rich algae product (Algae STM Alltech Inc.) on production of milk, fat and protein as well as on reproduction of high yielding Holstein dairy herd. Field trial was set up on Top 10 dairy farm in western part of Slovakia, under commercial conditions. The data of high yielding dairy cows, separated in two groups of 30 (control) and 29 (trial) animals, were recorded for period of 3 subsequent months from October to December 2015. Animals were fed once a day Total Mixed Ration based diet with different feed mixture composition in trial group (+100 g Algae STM Alltech Inc. per cow and day). Performance data were collected in accordance with official milk recording system of Breeding Services of Slovak Republic s. e. and milk samples were collected once per month according to the A4 standard methodology. The control group showed higher level of milk production compared to trial. Our study indicated that the feeding of algae caused milk fat depression and generally lower protein content in milk. Significant impact of algae feeding was found also for the level of urea in milk. In addition, the supplementary feeding of DHA may represent effective strategy to increase the percentage of pregnancies per inseminations in lactating dairy cows

Effect of dietary grape pomace on fats digestibility in horses
Submitted 2020-07-02 | Accepted 2020-08-24 | Available 2020-12-01https://doi.org/10.15414/afz.2020.23.mi-fpap.132-136The present study aimed to analyse dried grape pomace as a possible source of crude fat and polyunsaturated fatty acids in equine nutrition, as well as its effect on apparent digestibility of crude fat and selected fatty acids. Twelve clinically healthy sport horses were used in the feeding trial (Slovak warm blood breed). Animals were divided into three groups; control group (without supplementation) and two experimental groups where diets were enriched by 200 g and 400 g of dried grape pomace, respectively. Digestibility analysis was carried out by total faeces collection method. Crude fat of feeds and faeces, extracted by Soxhlet-Henkel method, was subsequently subjected to fatty acid profile analysis by gas chromatography. Grape pomace contained 96.17 g.kg-1 of crude fat with linoleic (70.03% in fat) and oleic (15.86% in fat) as the most abundant fatty acids. An indication (P>0.05) of higher digestibility of crude fat and oleic acid in both experimental groups, in comparison with control group, was detected. The digestibility of palmitic, linoleic, α-linolenic and cis-11-eicosenoic acids was not affected by dried grape pomace consumption (P>0.05). Based on the results of this experiment, dried grape pomace had no significant effect neither on digestibility of crude fat nor on the selected fatty acids. However, this winery by-product could be used as an alternative source of crude fat in equine diets.Keywords: crude fat, equine, polyunsaturated fatty acid utilisation, wine by-productsReferencesAslanian, A., Dizaji, A.

Prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of red deer from Protected Landscape Area Štiavnické vrchy
Count of red deer in some areas of Slovak republic exceeds standard count. To these areas belongs as well Protected Landscape Area Štiavnické vrchy (N48°24'42'' E18°52'21''). High count of is a risk for spread of viral, bacterial as well as parasitic diseases. The aim of this study was to determined and evaluated prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of red deer (Cervus elaphus) from Protected Landscape Area Štiavnické vrchy in year 2016. Monitoring was realized through cooperation between Department of Veterinary Sciences at Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra and District Veterinary and Food Administration in Zvolen as well as with Hunting Associations acting in area of Štiavnické vrchy. Total 120 faecal samples (10 from each month of the year 2016) was analysed using flotation method and eggs and oocysts were identified. Highest prevalence was detected by Trichostrongylus axei, Eimeria spp. and Spiculopteragia boehmi. Prevalence of endoparasites is affected by age structure of red deer and then by using antiparasitics, climatic condition. Result of these was, that prevalence of total gastrointestinal parasites was lowest during months January to March, when Hunting Associations realised regular worming. The highest prevalence of total gastrointestinal parasites was in months July to December, when the relative humidity is higher and to red deer population belongs as well new offspring, which has high predisposition to gastrointestinal parasites
Probiotická a prebiotická krmná aditiva ve výživě telat
The target of the research was to analyze the effect of antidiarrheal feed additives on calves average daily weight gain. In the study, 120 calves were analyzed. Newborns were selected into 3 treatment groups, control (without supplementation) and group with Ascophyllum nodosum (prebiotics), and mixture of Lactobacillus sporogenes, Enterococcus faecalis and Bifidobacterium bifidum (probiotics). Individual body weight of animal were determined after 2 hours postpartum. Monitoring of the growth intensity, as well as health status were done till 56 days of age. Significant effects (P<0.01) of additive supplementation were found in the group with probiotics, in body weight at the age 21 days, as well as at the age of 56 days of life. Significant effect (P<0.01) of probiotics supplementation was found also in daily weight gains of animals. On the base of analyzed results, probiotics in calves nutrition stimulate the body weight.Cílem této studie bylo prokázání vlivu krmných aditiv s protiprůjmovým účinkem na hmotnostní přírůstky a zdraví telat. Do experimentu bylo zařazeno celkem 120 telat. Po narození byla telata rozdělena do tří skupin: Ascophyllum nodosum (hydrolyzát hnědých mořských řas, prebiotikum), kombinaci Lactobacillus sporogenes, Enterococcus faecalis a Bifidobacterium bifidum (probiotikum) a kontrolní skupinu. Všechna telata byla zvážena do dvou hodin po narození. Přírůstky a zdravotní stav byly sledovány od narození do 56. dne věku. Ve srovnání s kontrolní skupinou byl nalezen signifikantní vliv aplikovaných krmných aditiv u probiotické skupiny u hmotnostních přírůstků 21. den po otelení (P<0,01), u hmotnostních přírůstků 56. den po otelení (P<0,01) a průměrných denních přírůstků (P<0,01). Z této studie výplýva, že užívání probiotik, má významný pozitivní vliv na zvýšení přírůstků u telat
Hematologický profil novonarodených prasiatok a prasníc kŕmených kŕmnou dávkou s obsahom hroznových výliskov
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of feeding pregnant sows with diet supplemented with dried grape pomace on hematological parameters of sows and new-born piglets. Sixteen pregnant crossbred sows Large white x Landrace mated with a Duroc boar, were randomly divided to two groups, control (C) and dried grape pomace (DGP) group. During last seven days of pregnancy the sow’s diet in DGP group contained 1% of DGP powder. Sows blood samples were taken before intake of diet containing DGP and during first day post partum. Blood of new-born piglets was taken immediately after birth before colostrum intake. All blood samples were analyzed on hematological parameters. After 7 days of treatment with DGP, sows blood showed significant changes in parameters such as total white blood cell count, lymphocytes count, mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin, but within the reference interval for pigs. Feeding pregnant sows with DGP affected the hematological parameters of the new-born piglets in a negative way. Compared to the C group, the new-born piglets in the DGP group had significantly lower lymphocyte counts, red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin values. Parameters of white and red blood cells are crucial for new-born piglets from an immunological and anemia point of view. Therefore, the addition of DGP during the last week of pregnancy to the sows’ diet cannot be recommended.Cieľom experimentu bolo vyhodnotiť vplyv skrmovania sušených hroznových výliskov prasnými prasnicami na hematologické parametre prasníc a ich novonarodených prasiatok. Šestnásť vysoko gravidných kríženiek plemien Biela ušľachtilá x Landrace, spárené s kancom Duroca, bolo náhodne rozdelených do dvoch skupín – kontrolnej (C) a skupiny s konzumáciou sušených hroznových výliskov (DGP). Počas posledných siedmich dní gravidity kŕmna dávka prasníc v skupine DGP obsahovala 1% prášku DGP. Vzorky krvi boli prasniciam odobraté pred prvým príjmom kŕmnej dávky obohatenej o DGP a počas prvého dňa po pôrode. Krv novorodených prasiatok bola odoberaná bezprostredne po narodení pred príjmom mledziva. Všetky vzorky krvi boli analyzované na hematologické parametre. Po 7 dňoch skrmovania DGP krv prasníc vykazovala významné zmeny v parametroch ako je celkový počet bielych krviniek, celkový počet lymfocytov, priemerný korpuskulárny objem a priemerný korpuskulárny hemoglobín. Parametre sa pohybovali v rámci referenčných intervalov pre ošípané. Skrmovanie DGP gravidným prasniciam negatívne ovplyvnilo hematologické parametre novorodencov. V porovnaní s kontrolnou skupinou mali novonarodené prasiatka z pokusnej skupiny signifikantne nižší počet lymfocytov, červených krviniek, hemoglobínu, hematokritu, priemerný korpuskulárny objem a priemerné hodnoty korpuskulárneho hemoglobínu. Pre novonarodené prasiatka sú parametre bielych a červených krviniek kľúčové z imunologického hľadiska a anémie. Pridanie DGP počas posledného týždňa gravidity do kŕmnej dávky prasníc preto nemožno odporučiť

Index esenciálnych aminokyselín v mledzive prasníc
The aim of this study was to determine the protein quality of sow’s colostrum. For this purpose, the essential amino acid index (EAAI) of sow’s colostrum was calculated. The study was carried out on 12 Large white sows, which were on the 2.9 farrowing on average. Colostrum samples were collected by milking per hand without application of oxytocin. First sample were milked at time of birth of first piglet, and then every hour till 12th hour. Essential amino acids were determined using Amino Acid Analyser AAA400 (Ingos, Prague). For calculation of EAAI, the egg protein (EAAIegg) and protein of sow’s milk (EAAIsow’s milk) were used as standard. The highest value of EAAI was calculated for both at 4th h, EAAIegg 97.1%, EAAIsow’s milk 120.2%. The lowest values of EAAI were calculated at 12th h EAAIegg 78.3% and EAAIsow’s milk 96.9%. During the first 12 hours, protein of sow’s colostrum had not reached the quality of egg protein. Except sample collected at 12th hour after birth of first piglet, all colostrum samples had better quality of protein in comparison to sow’s milk. No significant (P>0.05) differences of EAAI between colostrum samples collected at different times from the birth of the first piglet till 12th h were observed.Cieľom tejto práce bolo stanoviť kvalitu bielkovín v mledzive prasníc. Pre dosiahnutie vytýčených cieľov bol pre mledzivo prasníc vypočítaný index esenciálnych aminokyselín (EAAI). Štúdia bola realizovaná na 12 prasniciach plemena Biela ušľachtilá, ktoré boli v priemere na 2,9 vrhu. Vzorky mledziva boli odoberané ručným oddojením, bez aplikácie oxytocínu. Prvá vzorka bola odobraná v čase narodenia prvého prasiatka vo vrhu, následné vzorky boli odoberané každú hodinu až do
dvanástej hodiny po narodení prvého prasiatka. Obsah esenciálnych aminokyselín bol stanovený na prístroji Amino Acid Analyser AAA400 (Ingos, Praha). Ako štandardná bielkovina pre výpočet EAAI bola použitá bielkovina vajca (EAAIegg) a bielkovina mlieka prasníc (EAAIsow’s milk). Najvyššie hodnoty EAAI boli stanovené pri oboch na 4 hodinu od narodenia prvého prasiatka, EAAIegg 97,1%, EAAIsow’s milk 120,2%. Najnižšie hodnoty EAAI boli stanovené na dvanástu hodinu od narodenia prvého prasiatka, EAAIegg 78,3% and EAAIsow’s milk 96,9%. Počas sledovaných prvých dvanástich hodín mledzivo prasníc nedosiahlo kvalitu bielkovín, ktorá je vo vaječnej bielkovine. Okrem vzorky mledziva odobranej na dvanástu hodinu po narodení
prvého prasiatka, mali všetky vzorky mledziva lepšiu kvalitu bielkovín ako je kvalita bielkovín v mlieku prasníc. Rozdiely hodnôt EAAIegg a aj EAAIsow’s milk zistené medzi jednotlivými časmi odberu vzorky boli štatisticky nepreukazné (P>0.05)
Fatty acid composition of maize silages from different hybrids
Received: 2016-12-13 | Accepted: 2016-12-18 | Available online: 2017-12-31http://dx.doi.org/10.15414/afz.2017.20.04.95-98The aim of this research was to determine the fatty acid content in maize silages of different hybrids. Grain hybrid with FAO number 420 and silage hybrid with stay-green maturation with FAO number 450 were evaluated. Maize hybrids were grown under the same agro-ecological conditions, and harvested on growing degree days 1277 (FAO 420) and 1297 (FAO 450). Whole-plant maize was chopped to 10 mm by harvester with kernel processor and immediately ensiled in plastic barrels (volume 50 dm3). Maize matter was ensiled without silage additives. For fatty acids analyses samples of maize silages were taken after 8 week of ensiling. Content of fatty acids was quantified by gas chromatography. Examined maize of both hybrids had the highest linoleic acid content, followed by oleic acid and third highest content of palmitic acid. The results confirmed differences in fatty acid content in maize silages of different hybrids. In silages of grain hybrid was detected significantly higher content of palmitic acid and cis-11-eicosenoic acid and significantly lower content of oleic acid in compared with silage of silage hybrid. This ultimately resulted in a higher polyunsaturated fatty acids content (P < 0.05) in maize silage from grain hybrid and lower monounsaturated fatty acids content (P < 0.05) in maize silage from stay green hybrid.

Vplyv aditív na mykotoxickú kontamináciu kukuričných siláží
Addition of silage additives is commonly concentrated on the improvement of nutritive and fermentative features of silages, but in recent years, mycotoxic contamination is also a feature monitored after the treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of silage additives, in the concrete inoculant consisting of a mixture of Lactobacillus buchneri LN40177, Lactobacillus casei LC329090 and urea, on the concentration of major mycotoxins in maize silages. The ensilage mass was made in three variants, which consisted of maize silage (control variant C), maize silage with the addition of a commercial inoculant (variant A) and maize silage with the addition of urea (variant U). The commercial inoculant was added to the cut mass at a dose of 1 g/t of mass and urea at a dose of 5 kg/t of mass. After application of silage additives, the mass was stored and sealed in silage units. Mycotoxin analysis was performed using Veratox tests with ELISA reader, whereas average samples were prepared according to established protocols. The immuno-enzymatic method revealed that all samples of maize silage showed 100% contamination. The maize silages were characterized by the highest concentration of deoxynivalenol regardless of the treatment. The results confirmed the effect of silage additives on mycotoxic contamination of maize silages. Compared to the control variant, the commercial inoculant had negative increasing effect (P<0.05) on deoxynivalenol, ochratoxins and zearalenone, and a positive decreasing effect (P<0.05) on T-2 toxin and fumonisins. The urea addition resulted in significant reduction of T-2 toxin and increase of zearalenone.Prídavkom silážnych aditív sa bežne sleduje zlepšenie nutričných a fermentačných vlastností siláží, ale v posledných rokoch je mykotoxická kontaminácia tiež sledovaným znakom po ošetrení. Táto štúdia bola zameraná na vyhodnotenie účinku silážnych aditív, konkrétne inokulantu pozostávajúceho zo zmesi Lactobacillus buchneri LN40177, Lactobacillus casei LC329090 a močoviny, na koncentráciu hlavných mykotoxínov v kukuričnej siláži. Silážovaná hmota kukurice bola vyhotovená v troch variantoch, ktoré pozostávali z kukuričnej siláže (kontrolný variant C), kukuričnej siláže s prídavkom komerčného inokulantu (variant A) a kukuričnej siláže s prídavkom močoviny (variant U). Komerčný inokulant bol do narezanej hmoty pridaný v dávke 1g/t silážnej hmoty a močovina v dávke 5 kg/t silážnej hmoty. Po aplikácií silážnych aditív sa hmota uskladnila a zasilážovala do silážnych jednotiek. Analýza mykotoxínov bola vykonaná pomocou Veratox testov na ELISA reader, pričom priemerné vzorky boli upravené podľa stanovených protokolov. Výsledky potvrdili efekt silážnych aditív na mykotoxickú kontamináciu kukuričných siláží. V porovnaní s kontrolným variantom mal komerčný inokulant negatívny stúpajúci efekt (P<0,05) na deoxynivalenol, ochratoxíny a zearalenon, a pozitívny klesajúci efekt (P<0,05) na T-2 toxín a fumonizíny. Výsledkom pridania močoviny bolo preukazné zníženie T-2 toxínu a zvýšenie zearalenonu
