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. ...
Effect of seasonal changes on fertility parameters of Holstein dairy cows in subtropical climate of Taiwan
(Asian-Australasian Association of Animal Production Societies, 2018-06-01)
Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the relationship between temperature-humidity index (THI), season, and conception rate (CR) of Holstein cows in central Taiwan.
Methods: The mean ...
The inclusion of low quantities of lipids in the diet of ruminants fed low quality forages has little effect on rumen function
(Elsevier Masson, 2017-12)
Biohydrogenation within rumen fluid (RF) proceeds to varying degrees depending on retention time (RT) and type of basal diet, especially the profile of fatty acid (FA) being hydrogenised. The objective of this study was ...
Characterization of footrot bacteria Dichelobacter nodosus using PCR amplification and DNA sequence analysis
(TÜBİTAK The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2006)
Dichelobacter nodosus is an essential causative agent of footrot in ruminants, particularly in sheep, goats and cattle. In this study, more than 100 footrot samples were collected from 4 different farming regions in New ...
Improving the quality of wool through the use of gene markers
(South African Society for Animal Science, 2009)
This study aimed at identifying gene markers associated with wool quality traits in Merino and Merino Cross sheep using a candidate gene approach. Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformational polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) ...
Simple hierarchical and general nonlinear growth modeling in sheep
(Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), 2018-08-09)
Differential equations and advanced statistical models have been used to predict growth phenomena. In the present study, general nonlinear growth functions such as von Bertalanffy, Gompertz, logistic, and Brody, along with ...
Polymorphism of KRT83 and its association with selected wool traits in Merino-cross lambs
(Elsevier, 2017-10-01)
Keratins are structural proteins in the cortex of wool fibres. It is thought that variation in the keratin genes (KRTs) affects wool structure and characteristics. Polymerase chain reaction-single stranded conformational ...
Variation in the KAP6-1 gene in Chinese Tan sheep and associations with variation in wool traits
(Elsevier on behalf of International Goat Association, 2017-09)
The keratin-associated protein KAP6-1 gene (KRTAP6-1) was investigated for its effect on wool traits in Chinese Tan sheep. Two previously identified KRTAP6-1 variants (A and B) and two newly identified KRTAP6-1 variants ...
