Interactions Between Nutrition and Infections With Haemonchus contortus and Related Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Small Ruminants
2016, Advances in ParasitologyCitation Excerpt :Similarly, pen studies involving H. contortus infection in meat-producing goats confirmed that a high plane of nutrition resulted in improved resilience (Blackburn et al., 1991; Nnadi et al., 2007, 2009; Phengvichith and Ledin, 2007). For example, the studies by Blackburn et al. (1991, 1992) showed that young goats infected with H. contortus, when offered a high-protein diet, had better live-weight gains than those offered a low-protein diet, despite a lack of effect on resistance. Nowadays, on one hand, the use of meat and fish meals, which have been widely used in previous studies, are seriously challenged in developed countries, because of societal issues (eg, human health issues linked to prion risk).
Relationship between oxidative stress and pathological findings in abomasum of infected lambs by Haemonchus contortus
2014, Pathology Research and PracticeCitation Excerpt :H. contortus penetrates the surface of the abomasal mucosa to feed on the blood of the host [20]. The systemic effects observed due to infection by this nematode are anemia and decreased levels of total plasma proteins, particularly albumin [6]. Besides the diseases directly caused by the infection, the presence of the parasite may induce production of potentially destructive factors [34], such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), which may damage the parasite but generate oxidative stress [24].
Nutritional manipulation of sheep and goats for the control of gastrointestinal nematodes under hot humid and subhumid tropical conditions
2012, Small Ruminant ResearchCitation Excerpt :Not enough information has been obtained with tropical breeds of small ruminants. The first attempts by Blackburn et al. (1991, 1992) were based on a higher plane of nutrition rather than protein supplementation per se. Meanwhile, we investigated the effect of an increased protein supply (soybean meal) to Criollo kids infected with Haemonchus contortus, without a simultaneous availability of more energy (Hoste et al., 2005).
