Summary: The effects of Agaricus bisporus Polysaccharides (ABPs) on channel catfish's antiviral ability were explored. It was found that ABPs enhanced the immune response, regulated inflammation, and improved the metabolic function of channel catfish, leading to a stronger resistance against viral infection.

Summary: African catfish is a promising fish species in aquaculture, but the high cost of feeds is a major concern. This is due to the predatory nature of the species and the high rate of cannibalism in intensive culture. In this study, the addition of honeybee pollen (BP) to the diets of African catfish juveniles had a positive effect on growth, survival, intestinal microbiota, and tissue histomorphology.

Summary: The study found that histamine-rich diets resulted in severe abnormalities in the intestine of yellow catfish, including reduced villi length and number. Additionally, histamine-rich diets altered gut microbiota composition and diversity, impacting the stability of the intestinal microbiota community. Pearson correlation analysis identified certain bacterial species that were negatively correlated with pro-inflammatory factors and positively correlated with anti-inflammatory factors, suggesting their potential anti-inflammatory properties.

Summary: Fish cultivation in rice fields serves as a valuable resource for protein and income in rural areas, but the use of pesticides raises concerns for fish and consumer health. This study assessed the impact of pesticides on native fish in a rice field, indicating biological responses to cope with stressful environments without showing significant oxidative or neurotoxic effects throughout the production cycle.

Summary: Feeding Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (SCFP) to dairy cows during periods of metabolic stress can benefit their health by affecting the gut microbiota. This study aimed to investigate whether SCFP alters the ileal microbiota in lactating cows during intestinal challenges induced by feed restriction (FR). The results showed that feeding SCFP did not have a significant impact on dry matter intake, milk yield, or milk components during FR. However, SCFP supplementation tended to increase the abundance of beneficial gut probiotic bacteria.

Summary: The study investigated the effects of lead nitrate exposure on various parameters in Pangasius hypophthalmus. The fish were divided into different groups and treated with different concentrations of lead. The results showed that exposure to lead caused changes in enzyme levels, blood parameters, and histological changes in the gills, liver, and kidney of the fish. These findings suggest that prolonged exposure to higher concentrations of lead can be harmful to the health of fish and other aquatic organisms.

Summary: Research on antibiotic substitutes such as beta-glucan and mannan from yeast cell wall has shown potential for prevention and treatment of animal diseases, reducing the development and spread of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. These compounds have various biological functions and can be enhanced through chemical modification or molecular weight reduction.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with different levels of coated sodium butyrate (CSB) and polysaccharides extracted from Cordyceps cicadae (CCP) on growth performance, intestinal tissue morphology, and ileum microbiome in squabs. The results showed that CSB and CCP improved the growth performance, intestinal tissue morphology, and gut microbial balance of squabs.

Summary: The experimental trial examined the effects of dietary pyridoxine on the growth performance, intestinal enzymatic activities, and antioxidant properties of Pelteobagrus fulvidraco. The results demonstrated that an appropriate amount of pyridoxine supplementation could improve the growth performance, intestinal health, and antioxidant capacity of the yellow catfish.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of the antipsychotic drug haloperidol on juvenile Clarias gariepinus. It found that exposure to the drug led to changes in hematological and biochemical parameters in the fish, including reduced red blood cell count and increased neutrophil count. However, these effects dissipated after 5 days of drug withdrawal.

Summary: This study generated high-quality chromosome level reference genome sequences for channel catfish and blue catfish in the US, and identified three major pericentric inversions on their chromosomes. These reference genome sequences, along with the contrasting chromosomal architecture, can provide guidance for interspecific breeding programs.

Summary: This study investigated the properties of oil-in-water emulsions prepared from Kluyveromyces marxianus mannoprotein (KMM) and compared them with whey protein concentrate (WPC) emulsions. Results showed that KMM was more effective in stabilizing emulsions under various conditions, suggesting its potential as a bioemulsifier.

Summary: The study evaluated the single or combined effects of yeast, GOS, MOS, and beta-glucan on the growth and health of striped catfish juveniles. Results showed that 1% GOS and Y beta G significantly improved growth performance, nutrient digestibility, enzyme activities, intestinal morphology, and microbiota.
