Background: Hepatic fibrosis is a common pathological result of chronic liver diseases, which is a dynamic process of liver decomposition mediated by cellular mediators in response to injury.Objective: The present study aims to evaluate the histopathological features of dog-liver fibrosis and / or cirrhosis.Materials and Methods: 40 liver samples were collected; 12 liver fibrosis suspected animals were performed the histopathology to determine the main features of canine liver fibrosis. Results:The histopathology revealed chronic hepatitis with liver islands separated by strips of fibroblasts and collagen, moderate numbers of macrophages, lymphocytes and plasma cells. Also in fibrosis between chronic hepatitis/cirrhosis had a wide range of severity and inflammation was observed primarily around fibrous tissue or was surrounded by fibrous tissue but extended to the liver parenchyma. The histochemical study revealed to a deposition of collagen fibers in the portal, subscapular and interlobular regions. Conclusion:The histopathology revealed a range of lesions vary from mild hepatic degenerative changes to severe fibrotic features associated with canine hepatic fibrosis and early cirrhosis.

This study was designed to assess the impacts of a mixture of deoxynivalenol (DON) and ergot alkaloids (EAs) on growth performance, rumen function, blood parameters, and carcass traits of feedlot cattle. Forty steers (450 ± 6.0 kg) were stratified by weight and randomly allocated to 1 of 4 treatments; control-low (CON-L), control-high (CON-H) which contained low or high wheat screenings that lacked mycotoxins at the same level as the mycotoxin-low (MYC-L; 5.0 mg/kg DON, 2.1 mg/kg EA), and mycotoxin-high (MYC-H: 10 mg/kg DON, 4.2 mg/kg EA) diets that included wheat screening with mycotoxins. Steers were housed in individual pens for a 112-day finishing trial. Intake was 24.8% lower (P < 0.001) for MYC steers compared to CON steers. As a result, average daily gains of MYC steers were 42.1% lower (P < 0.001) than CON steers. Gain to feed ratio was also lower (P < 0.001) for MYC steers compared to CON steers. Platelets, alanine aminotransferase, globulins, and blood urea nitrogen were lower (P ≤ 0.008), and lymphocytes, glutathione peroxidase activity (GPx), and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were elevated (P ≤ 0.002) in MYC steers compared to CON steers. Hot carcass weights and backfat thickness were reduced (P < 0.001) in MYC steers, resulting in leaner (P < 0.001) carcasses and higher (P < 0.007) meat yield compared to CON steers. Results suggest that a mixture of DON and EAs negatively impacted health, performance, and carcass traits of feedlot steers, with the majority of this response likely attributable to EAs. However, more research is needed to distinguish the relative contribution of each mycotoxin to the specific responses observed.
