[13386905 nova biotechnologica et chimica] phage endolysin a way to unders...Pig Farm Solution
?
The document discusses the role of bacteriophage endolysins, which are enzymes that degrade bacterial cell walls and facilitate the release of new phage particles. It highlights the modular structure of endolysins, typically consisting of a catalytic domain and a cell wall binding domain, essential for their lytic activity. The findings suggest potential applications for engineering designer recombinant endolysins with tailored functionalities.
This document reviews the engineering of phage-derived lytic enzymes as potential antimicrobials to combat bacterial infections, particularly in the context of rising antibiotic resistance. It discusses the antibacterial properties of these enzymes, known as enzybiotics, and highlights the need for modifications to improve their efficacy and application. The document emphasizes the urgent requirement for new antimicrobial strategies as conventional antibiotics become less effective, risking a post-antibiotic era.
Phage Endolysins as Potential Antimicrobials against Multidrug Resistant Vibr...Pig Farm Solution
?
This document reviews the potential of bacteriophage-derived endolysins as antimicrobial agents against the multidrug-resistant pathogens Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. It highlights the issues of antibiotic resistance in these bacteria, which pose significant health risks due to the reliance on antibiotics in aquaculture. The study emphasizes the promising application of endolysins in combating these pathogens, underlining their mechanisms, characteristics, and the urgent need for alternative treatments in aquaculture settings.

?
This study evaluated the effects of dietary mannanase and corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and carcass characteristics of grower-finisher pigs across four experiments. Results indicated that both increasing mannanase levels and the inclusion of up to 15% DDGS had positive impacts on growth performance and nutrient digestibility, while not adversely affecting carcass traits. The study suggests that incorporating mannanase in DDGS-based diets can enhance nutrient absorption and overall pig performance.

?
This document presents updated recommendations for the dietary requirements of phosphorus and calcium for growing pigs and reproductive sows. It incorporates new research and data since the previous recommendations were established in 2003, focusing on standardized digestible phosphorus and calcium metrics using a factorial estimation method. The report emphasizes the importance of adjusting these recommendations based on factors such as body weight and feeding levels, to enhance nutrient retention and utilization in swine production.

?
This study compares the preventive use of tilmicosin phosphate and mycoplasma hyopneumoniae vaccination in a pig herd suffering from chronic respiratory disease. No significant differences were noted in average daily gain, feed conversion rate, and mortality rate between the two groups, but the tilmicosin group required more additional curative medication days. The findings suggest that, aside from the higher need for curative treatments, tilmicosin and vaccination conferred similar benefits in controlling respiratory disease in this setting.
