The effects of bioactive edible film containing Terminalia arjuna on the stability of some quality attributes of chevon sausages
(Elsevier for American Meat Science Association, 2018-06)
The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of calcium alginate edible films incorporated with Terminalia arjuna on the lipid oxidative stability and storage quality of chevon sausages. Chevon sausages were ...
Positive relationships between body weight of dairy heifers and their first-lactation and accumulated three-parity lactation production
(Elsevier on behalf of the American Dairy Science Association and the Federation of Animal Science Societies, 2019-03-01)
This study investigated the relationships between body weight (BW) and milk production of 140,113 New Zealand dairy heifers. Heifers were classified into 5 breed groups: Holstein-Friesian, Holstein-Friesian crossbred, ...
Short communication: A study of Lactobacillus isolates' adherence to and influence on membrane integrity of human Caco-2 cells
(American Dairy Science Association, 2017-10)
The selection criteria of ideal probiotic bacteria are complex and involve many factors. One key criterion is based on the ability of the probiotic bacteria to adhere to the epithelial lining of the gastrointestinal tract. ...
Biliary and plasma copper and zinc in pregnant Simmental and Angus cattle
(AOSIS, 2013)
Three each of 3-year-old Angus and Simmental heifers, surgically modified to collect bile, were used to measure the effects of pregnancy and breed on bile flow, biliary copper and zinc excretion and plasma copper and zinc ...
Elevation of feed intake in parasite-infected lambs by central administration of a cholecystokinin receptor antagonist
(Cambridge University Press, 1998-01)
The role of cholecystokinin (CCK) in modulating feed intake depression in parasite-infected lambs was investigated using CCK receptor antagonists (L364–718 and loxiglumide). Four experiments were carried out using ewe lambs ...
Nitrogen transactions along the digestive tract of lambs concurrently infected with Trichostrongylus colubriformis and Ostertagia circumcincta
(Cambridge University Press, 1991-09)
Twelve lambs, paired on the basis of live weight, were cannulated in the abomasum, in the proximal jejunum approximately 4 m distal to the pylorus and in the terminal ileum. Six were infected with 3000 Trichostrongylus ...
A model of magnesium metabolism in young sheep: transactions between plasma, cerebrospinal fluid and bone
(Cambridge University Press, 2004-01)
An extension of the previously proposed model of Mg metabolism (Robson et al. 1997) has been developed to consider the transactions of Mg that are associated with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and bone. The representation of ...
Characterisation of an ovine keratin associated protein (KAP) gene, which would produce a protein rich in glycine and tyrosine, but lacking in cysteine
(MDPI, 2019-11-01)
The keratin-associated proteins (KAPs) are structural components of hair/wool fibres. All of the KAPs identified to date contain cysteine, which is thought to form disulphide bonds cross-linking the keratin intermediate ...
Transcriptome profile analysis of mammary gland tissue from two breeds of lactating sheep
(MDPI, 2019-10-08)
The mammary gland is a crucial tissue for milk synthesis and plays a critical role in the feeding and growth of mammalian offspring. The aim of this study was to use RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) technology to provide a ...
Peripheral and gastrointestinal immune systems of healthy cattle raised outdoors at pasture or indoors on a concentrate-based ration
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2010)
Background: Despite an increasing preference of consumers for beef produced from more extensive pasture-based production systems and potential human health benefits from the consumption of such beef, data regarding the ...
