The influence of zearalenone on blood serum protein status and the feasibility of utilizing a modified clinoptilolite and esterified glucomannan to alleviate its harmful effects was examined in two trials, 31 and 29 days long, conducted on a total of 64 pigs (32 each) 60 days old, divided into four groups, each containing 8 pigs. Control groups (K) received noncontaminated feed, while experimental groups received feed supplemented with 3.84 mg/kg in the first trial and 5.12 mg/kg of zearalenone in the second trial. Pigs in the first experimental groups (O-I) were given feed with toxin only. Modified clinoptilolite in the amount of 0.2% and esterified glucomannan in the amount of 0.1% were introduced in contaminated feed of the second (O-II) and the third experimental groups (O-III) of both trials. With the use of contaminated feed, a declining trend of the A/G ratio was observed: decrease of albumin content and increase of globulin content on account of the _ globulin fraction. A decrease of the _ globulin fraction was detected at the same time. Total protein concentration was also lower. The application of adsorbents successfully alleviated harmful effects of the F-2 toxin on the affected biochemical parameters in blood serum.

Total protein-bound hexose, hexosamine, and sialic acid were determined in sera of six littermate mongrel pups at monthly intervals from the 4th day after birth up to the age of 7 months. The concentration of the individual constituents fluctuated considerably from month to month, but the values showed neither a definite trend nor a relationship to weight gain. When the carbohydrate moiety was expressed as percentage of total serum protein concentration, the values were high in newborn pups and diminished after the 1st month of life. This was due to a rise in the concentration of total serum protein, brought about by an increase of the albumin fraction which is low in carbohydrate.

The study was undertaken to evaluate the humoral immune response in mice induced by a novel phage lysate vaccine against Hemorrhagic Septicemia developed from Pasteurella multocida grown under iron-restricted conditions and lysed by a bacteriophage. Two groups of mice were immunized with lysate vaccine (LV) and conventional killed HS vaccine (CV) and blood was collected at various days post – immunization (DPI). The serum protein concentration in lysate vaccinated mice (4.675±0.223) was significantly higher (p less than 0.05) than the conventional vaccinated mice (4.100±0.282) at 150 DPI. The serum globulin levels at 90 DPI and 180 DPI in LV mice (1.330±0.071 and 0.650±0.100) were significantly (p less than 0.01) higher than the CV mice (0.850±0.084 and 0.366±0.098). The serum IgG levels at 150 DPI and 180 DPI in LV (0.564±0.188 and 0.485±0121) mice were significantly higher (p less than 0.01) than the CV mice (0.178±0.039 and 0.121±0.026). Although our results in mice are promising, further studies involving bovines are needed.

AbstractThe serum protein concentrations of juvenile and mature male snow crabs, Chionoecetes opilio, were measured using a refractometer. The somatic indices of juvenile and mature male snow crab were calculated using the weight of the dry flesh of the chelae versus its wet weight. Results indicate that juvenile male snow crab have significantly higher serum protein concentrations and significantly lower somatic indices than their mature counterparts. These observations are attributed to basic physiological differences that could be explained by a terminal moult. Les concentrations en proteines seriques de males juveniles et a maturite du crabe des neiges Chionoecetes opilio ont ete mesurees au moyen d'un refractometre. Les indices somatiques de ces individus ont ete calcules en utilisant le rapport entre le poids sec et le poids humide de la chair. Les resultats indiquent que les individus males juveniles ont des concentrations en proteines seriques significativement plus elevees et des indices somatiques significativement plus bas que les individus males matures. Ces observations sont attribuees a des differences physiologiques de base qui peuvent etre expliquees par une mue terminale.
