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 ...
The intake, digestion and protein degradation of grazed herbage by early-weaned lambs
(Cambridge University Press, 1992-09)
Sixty-four intact lambs and twenty-four lambs fitted with a duodenal cannula were weaned at 6 weeks of age and grazed pure species swards of either lucerne (Medicago sativa), white clover (Trifolium repens), ryegrass (Lolium ...
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 ...
A model of magnesium metabolism in young sheep. Magnesium absorption and excretion
(Cambridge University Press, 1997-12)
A model of Mg metabolism in sheep is proposed. It is based on standard Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics to describe the transport of Mg across the rumen wall and passive diffusion to describe the absorption of Mg in the ...
The locus for an inherited cataract in sheep maps to ovine chromosome 6
(Molecular Vision on behalf of Emory University, 2012-05-31)
Purpose: Cataracts are an important cause of blindness in humans but there are few large animal models available. One of these animal models is Ovine Heritable Cataract, a bilateral cortical cataract which develops after ...
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 ...
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. ...
Comparison of analytical and predictive methods for water, protein, fat, sugar, and gross energy in marine mammal milk
(Elsevier Inc. on behalf of the American Dairy Science Association, 2014-08)
Mammalian milks may differ greatly in composition from cow milk, and these differences may affect the performance of analytical methods. High-fat, high-protein milks with a preponderance of oligosaccharides, such as those ...
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 ...
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 ...
