“…G1 mean levels were from 5.72 to 9.23U/L, while G2 from 6.77 to 15.24U/L. Previous reports indicate mean values between 5.13 U/L (Souza et al 2016) and 12.6U/L (Ural et al 2009). According to Kaneko & Harvey (1997) all values remained within the normal range (3-23U/L).…”

Clinical biochemistry profile of American Quarter Horse broodmares fed Tifton-85 (Cynodon spp.) hay and haylage

The conservation of haylage (a pre-dried feed) can be challenging, since there is an increased risk of mould growth, which can contaminate this foodstuff with mycotoxins. However, when the hygienic quality is secured, haylage enhances grass palatability and provide enough supply of dry matter throughout the year. Due to the lack of information regarding its effect on blood parameters in horses fed exclusively with this foodstuff, the aim of this study is to provide information regarding its use in comparison to hay and ensure that it does not affect horses’ biochemical profile. Twelve Quarter Horse broodmares were distributed into two groups, each fed with Tifton-85 (Cynodon spp.) hay or haylage for a period of 28 days, and the biochemical profile was done in five different times (T0 before the experiment started and, chronologically, seven days apart - T1, T2, T3 and T4), It was analyzed total protein (TP) and its fractioning; enzymes alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and γ-glutamyl-transferase; endogenous catabolism products urea and creatinine; and ions calcium and phosphorus. Mycotoxins in haylage were also investigated and remained below the legislation thresholds. Only TP was higher in the last sampling (T4) of the haylage group, which may be related to the foodstuff’s higher protein digestibility. No differences were observed between serum enzymes, urea, creatinine and Ca/P from both experimental groups. Haylage has proven to be safe, when well prepared for horses, without causing impairing side effects, as shown by the normal serum biochemistry parameters presented in this study.

“…Lesions suggestive of dermatophytosis in this study were areas of scaling, crusting, and alopecia with some kerion formation as dermatophytes are known to digest the skin, hair, and hoof of animals as a source of carbon using proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes [ 2 ]. The lesions were found to occur mostly on the limbs and pressure areas, which is in agreement with other authors [ 20 ].…”

“…Dermatophytes are cited as the most frequent causes of dermatological problems in domestic animals [ 1 ]. They belong to the class Ascomycetes, which are normally located in the stratum corneum, hair shaft, or hoof, where they invade [ 2 ]. There are approximately 40 different species of dermatophytes characterized by their capability to digest keratin and divided into three genera: Trichophyton , Microsporum , and Epidermophyton [ 3 ].…”

Equine Dermatophytosis: A Survey of Its Occurrence and Species Distribution among Horses in Kaduna State, Nigeria

et al. 2016

This study was designed to determine the occurrence and species distribution of dermatophyte from cutaneous skin lesions of horses in Kaduna State, Nigeria. A total of 102 skin scrapings were collected from 102 horses with skin lesions. Mycological studies were carried out using conventional techniques. Dermatophytes were isolated from 18 (17.6%) of the 102 samples collected. The 18 dermatophytes were distributed into 10 different species belonging to Microsporum (n = 5) and Trichophyton (n = 5) genera. T. verrucosum (n = 4) was the most predominant species isolated followed by M. equinum (n = 3), T. vanbreuseghemii (n = 2), M. gypseum (n = 2), and M. canis (n = 2). Others include M. fulvum (n = 2), T. mentagrophytes (n = 1), T. equinum (n = 1), T. soudanense (n = 1), and M. gallinae (n = 1). The present study reveals the occurrence of dermatophytes in cutaneous skin lesions of horses in Kaduna State, Nigeria. In addition for the first time in this environment the anthropophilic dermatophyte T. soudanense was isolated from horses. These findings have great economic, veterinary, and public health significance as they relate to the cost of treatment and dissemination of zoonotic dermatophytes.

“…Эти болезни не вызывают значительную летальность среди больных, однако возбудители дерматофитозов обуславливают высокий уровень заболеваемости восприимчивых видов животных, что представляет особую эпидемиологическую опасность для человека (Chermette, Ferreiro, & Guillot, 2008;Havlickova, Czaika, & Friedrich, 2008;Shokri, & Khosravi, 2016). Существует много сообщений о значительном распространении дерматофитозов среди разных видов животных и человека и наличии широкого круга переносчиков грибков-дерматофитов (Havlickova, Czaika, & Friedrich, 2008;Ural, Yağci, & Ocal, 2009;Nweze, 2011;Cafarchia, Weigl, Figueredo, & Otranto, 2012;Cafarchia, Figueredo, & Otranto, 2013;Ahdy, Younis, Baraka, Sayed-Ahmed, & El-khodery, 2016;Tartor, El Damaty, & Mahmmod, 2016; (Kovalenko, Ponomarenko, Ponomarenko, Severyn, & Balackiy, 2017;Sutton, Fotergill, & Rinal`di, 2001…”
