Environmental parameters affecting the concentration of iodine in New Zealand pasture
(American Society of Agronomy, Crop Science Society of America & Soil Science of America, 2019-08-21)
Iodine (I) is an essential trace element commonly deficient in agricultural systems. Whereas there is much information on I in food crops, there is a lacuna of knowledge on the environmental factors that affect pasture I ...
Valuing conservation benefits of disease control in wildlife: A choice experiment approach to bovine tuberculosis management in New Zealand's native forests
(Elsevier, 2017-03-15)
We assess the non-monetary environmental benefits that accrue incidentally in New Zealand (NZ) from pest management conducted primarily to control an animal disease, bovine tuberculosis (TB). TB is an infectious disease ...
Detection of mastitis and its stage of progression by automatic milking systems using artificial neural networks
(Cambridge University Press, 2010-05)
Two types of artificial neural networks, multilayer perceptron (MLP) and self-organizing feature map (SOM) were used to detect mastitis by automatic milking systems (AMS) using a new mastitis indicator that combined two ...
The performance of an efficient dairy system using a combination of nitrogen leaching mitigation strategies in a variable climate
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
An efficient dairy system, that implemented a combination of nitrogen (N) leaching mitigation strategies including lower N fertilizer input, standing cows off pasture for part of the day in autumn and winter (stand-off), ...
Preparation, optimization and characterization of bovine lactoferrin‐loaded liposomes and solid lipid particles modified by hydrophilic polymers using factorial design
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc. on behalf of the American Peptide Society (APS), 2014-05)
Bioadhesive liposomes and solid lipid particles (SLPs) modified by pectin and chitosan for oral administration of bovine lactoferrin (bLf) were prepared using a 2⁴ full-factorial design to identify the key formulation ...
The physical and biochemical effects of pre-rigor high pressure processing of beef
(Elsevier, 2018-09-01)
High pressure processing (HPP) of pre-rigor longissimus thoracis (strip loin) from prime and bull animals substantially decreased the shear force and improved consumer eating attributes of the final meat product. The ...
Improved RP-HPLC method for determination of bovine lactoferrin and its proteolytic degradation in simulated gastrointestinal fluids
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2013-02)
The objective of this study was to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate bovine lactoferrin (bLf) and its stability using a rapid RP-HPLC method. bLf could be rapidly detected within 20 min and quantitated at levels ...
Design and characterisation of a polyethylene oxide matrix with the potential use as a teat insert for prevention/treatment of bovine mastitis
(Springer US on behalf of the American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists, 2015-01)
© 2014, American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists.This manuscript reports (for the first time) on antibiotic-free polymeric inserts for the prevention and/or treatment of bovine mastitis. Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based ...
Plasma nitrogen isotopic fractionation and feed efficiency in growing beef heifers
(Cambridge University Press (CUP) on behalf of the Nutrition Society, 2014-05)
Fractionation of N isotopes occurs in many metabolic reactions which causes tissue proteins to become enriched in ¹⁵N while urea (urine) is depleted in ¹⁵N relative to the diet. We investigated ¹⁵N enrichment of whole ...
