Antibiotic overuse has contributed to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria, posing a serious public health threat. Pets may act as reservoirs of MDR bacteria, with the potential to transmit these pathogens to humans. This study aimed t...

This study investigated the protective effects of high selenomethionine (SeMet) supplementation on liver injury caused by oxidative stress in piglets and explored the underlying mechanisms. A total of 18 piglets were randomly assigned to three groups...

Environmental impact plays a pivotal role in forming the welfare of shelter dogs exposed to chronic stress. Standard methods of animal health monitoring, such as psychological evaluation or cortisol measurements, do not fully reflect modulation of th...

This study explored the effects of cannabidiol (CBD) on clinically relevant parameters, including sedation, compliance, and temperament, as well as mechanical nociceptive thresholds in healthy cats. Nine client-owned cats (3.44 ± 2.35 years, m...

The number of donkey-breeding farms is variable around the world despite the growing popularity of this species as working animals, companion pets, for show events, in asinotherapy for children and adults with physical and mental disorders, and as a...

This study introduces an innovative dog emotion classification system that integrates four non-invasive physiological indicators—skin potential (SP), muscle potential (MP), respiration frequency (RF), and voice pattern (VP)—with the extre...

This study systematically investigated the effects of dietary tea polyphenols (TPs, major bioactive polyphenols from Camellia sinensis with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties) on the growth performance and intestinal health of hybrid...

The use of postbiotics for dietary fortification in aquaculture is gaining increasing attention due to their potential immunomodulatory and gut health benefits. In this study, we evaluated the effects of postbiotics derived from Vibrio proteolyticus...
