The effect of vaccinating infection during pregnancy and dietary protein supply on the peri-parturient immune response of sheep to infection with Teladorsagia circumcincta and Trichostrongylus colubriformis larvae
(Cambridge University Press, 2007-03)
It is well established that dietary protein supply can influence the peri-parturient breakdown of immunity to nematode parasites
but there is no information on the importance of exposure to nematode larvae during pregnancy ...
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 ...
Effect of gender, gonadectomy and oestradiol-17β on growth in lambs under grazing conditions
(Cambridge University Press, 2001-11)
To identify separate effects of gender, castration and exogenous oestrogen on growth, castrated lambs of both sexes and entire male lambs (n = 8) were implanted subcutaneously with three sizes of oestradiol-17β implants, ...
Leptin concentrations and the immune-mediated reduction of feed intake in sheep infected with the nematode Trichostrongylus colubriformis
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)
The hypothesis that increases in the concentration of the anorectic peptide leptin may be responsible for the immune-mediated reduction in feed intake (FI) during gastrointestinal parasitism in sheep was investigated. In ...
Protein supply influences the nutritional penalty associated with the development of immunity in lambs infected with Trichostrongylus colubriformis
(Cambridge University Press, 2008-11)
The influence of dietary protein supply on the nutritional penalty associated with the acquisition phase of the immune response to gastrointestinal nematodes in lambs was investigated. Groups of lambs were offered either ...
