“…The obtained data indicate that studied variables were significantly affected by road transport, showing a physiological response and a possible adaptive activity of animals and confirming that transport can impose "stress" on animals because they are exposed to a variety of factors which can compromise welfare (Ali et al, 2006;Baghshani et al, 2010).…”

“…Work in cattle (Murata and Miyamoto, 1993;Arthington et al, 2003), dromedary camels (Baghshani et al, 2010), and pigs (Saco et al, 2003;Pineiro et al, 2007) suggested that transportation stress may induce APP response. Studies in chickens showed that inflammatory response to various type of infections may trigger and change APP response and concentration (Holt and Gast, 2002;Xie et al, 2002;Buyse et al, 2007;Rath et al 2009;Georgieva et al, 2010;O'Reilly and Eckersall, 2014).…”

A study was conducted to determine whether supplementing AminoGut (a commercial dietary supplement containing a mixture of l-glutamine and l-glutamic acid) to broiler chickens stocked at 2 different densities affected performance, physiological stress responses, foot pad dermatitis incidence, and intestinal morphology and microflora. A randomized design in a factorial arrangement with 4 diets [basal diet, basal diet + 0.5% AminoGut from d 1 to 21, basal diet + 0.5% AminoGut from d 1 to 42, and basal diet + virginiamycin (0.02%) for d 1 to 42] and 2 stocking densities [0.100 m(2)/bird (23 birds/pen; LD) or 0.067 m(2)/bird (35 birds/pen; HD)]. Results showed that villi length and crypt depth were not changed by different dietary treatments. However, birds in the HD group had smaller villi (P = 0.03) compared with those of the LD group. Regardless of diet, HD consistently increased the serum concentrations of ceruloplasmin, α-1 acid glycoprotein, ovotransferin, and corticosterone (P = 0.0007), and elevated heterophil to lymphocyte ratio (0.0005). Neither AminoGut supplementation nor stocking density affected cecal microflora counts. In conclusion, under the conditions of this study, dietary supplementation of AminoGut, irrespective of stocking density, had no beneficial effect on growth performance, intestinal morphology, and physiological adaptive responses of broiler chickens raised under hot and humid tropical conditions. However, AminoGut supplementation from d 1 to 42 was beneficial in reducing mortality rate. Also, the increased serum concentrations of a wide range of acute phase proteins together with elevated corticosterone and heterophil to lymphocyte ratio suggested that high stocking density induced an acute phase response either indirectly as a result of increased incidence of inflammatory diseases such as foot pad dermatitis or possibly as a direct physiological response to the stress of high stocking density.

“…Total serum protein (TP) was measured by the Biuret method and serum concentration of Hp was measured according to prevention of the peroxidase activity of hemoglobin, which is directly proportional to the amount of Hp. 10 The analytical sensitivity of this test in serum has been determined as 0.01 mg mL -1 for Hp by the manufacturer (Tridelta Development Plc, Wicklow, Ireland).…”

“…Despite the growing interest in using APPs as health indicators, 10 to the best of our knowledge, there has been no previous study regarding the probable changes of the APPs in abomasal ulcers in water buffalo. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate and to compare the rate of serum haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA) between affected and non-affected water buffalo.…”

To evaluate the serum concentrations of haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA) in water buffaloes with abomasal ulcers, the abomasums of 100 randomly selected water buffaloes were examined after slaughter. Type I abomasal ulcers were found in 56 out of 100 buffaloes. Serum concentrations of Hp and SAA were measured. There was no significant difference between affected and non-affected buffaloes in the serum concentrations of Hp and SAA. The serum concentrations of Hp and SAA had no significant correlation with age and the serum SAA revealed no significant correlation with the number of abomasal ulcers. A significant correlation was found between the serum Hp and the number of abomasal ulcers (r =0.29, p = 0.04). There was no significant difference in the serum concentrations of Hp and SAA between buffaloes with different ulcer locations in the abomasums. Although more work on a larger number of animals is required in this area, it seems that the measurement of the serum Hp can be used to predict the abundance of type I abomasal ulcers.
