On day 1 higher while on day 3 lower MDA concentrations were found in the low-dose group compared to the control. Fatty acid composition also changed: the proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids increased (p < 0.05) and the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased by day 3. These alterations resulted in a decrease in the index of unsaturation and average fatty acid chain length. Histopathological alterations suggested that the incidence and severity of liver lesions were higher in the mycotoxin-treated laying hens, and the symptoms correlated with the fatty acid profile of total phospholipids. Overall, the findings revealed that mycotoxin exposure, even at the EU-recommended limits, induced lipid peroxidation in the liver, which led to changes in fatty acid composition, matched with tissue damage.}, keywords = {Lipid Peroxidation; T-2 TOXIN; lipid composition; Deoxynivalenol; Fumonisin B1; glutathione:; Poultry.; oxidative stress}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2072-6651}, orcid-numbers = {Szabó, András/0000-0002-5315-0024} } @article{MTMT:34775233, title = {First Results on the Presence of Mycotoxins in the Liver of Pregnant Fallow Deer (Dama dama) Hinds and Fetuses}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34775233}, author = {Lakatos, István and Babarczi, Bianka and Molnár, Zsófia and Tóth, Arnold and Skoda, Gabriella and Horváth, Győző and Horváth, Adrienn and Tóth, Dániel and Sükösd, Farkas and Szemethy, László and Szőke, Zsuzsanna}, doi = {10.3390/ani14071039}, journal-iso = {ANIMALS-BASEL}, journal = {ANIMALS}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {34775233}, abstract = {Reproductive abnormalities have been observed in fallow deer populations in Hungary. We supposed mycotoxin contamination to be one of the possible causes because multi-mycotoxin contamination is known to be dangerous even at low toxin levels, especially for young animals. We investigated the spatial pattern of mycotoxin occurrences and the relationship between maternal and fetal mycotoxin levels. A total of 72 fallow deer embryos and their mothers were sampled in seven forested regions in Hungary in the 2020/2021 hunting season. We analyzed Aflatoxin (AF), Zearalenone (ZEA), Fumonizin B1 (FB1), DON, and T2-toxin concentrations in maternal and fetal livers by ELISA. AF was present in 70% and 82%, ZEA in 41% and 96%, DON in 90% and 98%, T2-toxin in 96% and 85%, and FB1 in 84% and 3% of hind and fetus livers, respectively. All mycotoxins passed into the fetus, but only Fumonizin B1 rarely passed. The individual variability of mycotoxin levels was extremely high, but the spatial differences were moderate. We could not prove a relation between the maternal and fetal mycotoxin concentrations, but we found an accumulation of ZEA and DON in the fetuses.

Rabbits’ participation in Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAIs) is growing. It is highly important to ensure the well-being of the animals in AAIs. Whereas the needs and the advantages of people involved in AAI are becoming more and more evident, the needs of animals are not clearly defined, therefore, it is a great field of inquiry. Animals who are used for AAI need to be transported regularly, which itself might be a source of stress. (2) Methods: the stress of rabbits—caused by transportation—was measured in a non-invasive way: cortisol levels were determined from feces, based on their breakdown products. Eighteen animals were involved in the study. Rabbits experienced a 30 min transportation every second day for two weeks (altogether six times) while 126 samples were collected. (3) Results: rabbits could handle the transportation procedure the first time but subsequently the stress hormone metabolites in feces samples increased regardless of the offered treatments (hay, carrot and apple) during the carriage. (4) Conclusions: those owners who use rabbits for Animal-Assisted Interventions need to take into account that transportation itself is a stressful experience for the animals.}, keywords = {RABBITS; CORTISOL; TRANSPORTATION; animal-assisted interventions; AAI; stress}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2076-2615}, orcid-numbers = {Nagy, István/0000-0003-0247-6638; Molnár, Marcell/0000-0001-9573-7993} } @article{MTMT:34684720, title = {Population Subdivision and Migration Assessment of Mangalica Pig Breeds Based on Pedigree Analysis}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34684720}, author = {Nguyen, Anh Thi and Kövér, György and Tóth, Péter and Curik, Ino and Bokor, Árpád and Nagy, István}, doi = {10.3390/ani14040653}, journal-iso = {ANIMALS-BASEL}, journal = {ANIMALS}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {34684720}, abstract = {In conserving the genetic diversity of domestic animal breeds, strategies that emphasise between-breed diversity may not be optimal, as they neglect within-breed variation. The aim of the present study was to assess the extent of population subdivision in three Mangalica pig breeds and the contribution of migration to their substructure. Wright’s FST coefficient was calculated based on genealogical data with breeding animals born between 1981 and 2023, with three colour variants (Blonde, Swallow-Belly and Red). These Wright’s FST coefficients were analysed using multidimensional scaling to reveal the population substructure. The average FST coefficient was 0.04 for the Blonde breed and 0.047 for the Swallow-Belly and Red Mangalica breeds, while these parameters were lower in the active herds at 0.03 and 0.04, respectively. The migration of individuals between herds was 61.63% for the Blonde breed and 75.53% and 63.64% for the Swallow-Belly and Red Magalica breeds, respectively. No population substructure was observed in any of the Mangalica breeds, which can be explained by the extensive migration between herds.}, keywords = {MIGRATION; pedigree analysis; Mangalica; Population subdivision; Wright’s FST coefficient}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2076-2615}, orcid-numbers = {Curik, Ino/0000-0001-7090-1654; Nagy, István/0000-0003-0247-6638} } @article{MTMT:34683041, title = {Housing European Ground Squirrels (Spermophilus citellus) for an Ex Situ Conservation Program}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34683041}, author = {Bárdos, Boróka and Altbäcker, Vilmos and Török, Henrietta Kinga and Nagy, István}, doi = {10.3390/mps7020018}, journal-iso = {METHODS PROTOC}, journal = {METHODS AND PROTOCOLS}, volume = {7}, unique-id = {34683041}, abstract = {European ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus) populations have declined precipitously over the last 70 years. Its protection cannot be ensured solely by protecting its habitat; it is also necessary to protect the animals ex situ. In our study, within a European ground squirrel species protection program, we examined two elements of indoor housing technology. Knowledge of the animals’ needs is essential for captive housing and breeding success, so in our tests, the animals could freely choose both nest-building materials and feed. In the nest material preference test, the animals could choose from three materials with different structures: paper, Lignocel and hay. In the feed preference test, the animals could also choose from three types of feed: commercial rabbit feed, complete rabbit feed and a natural feed mixture. The first two feeds were in granulated format, and the third was a grain feed mix. Among the nesting materials, they preferred hay, which allowed them to build better-quality nests. Among the feeds, they preferred the grain feed mix, the composition closest to their natural feed, and it was the only one that contained animal protein.
