Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Infectivity in Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros)
Of all the species exposed naturally to the bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) agent, the greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros), a nondomesticated bovine from Africa, appears to be the most susceptible to the disease. We present the results of mouse bioassay studies to show that, contrary to findings in cattle with BSE in which the tissue distribution of infectivity is the most limited re...
متن کاملMetagenome Sequencing of the Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) Rumen Microbiome
Ruminant herbivores utilize a symbiotic relationship with microorganisms in their rumen to exploit fibrous foods for nutrition. We report the metagenome sequences of the greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) rumen digesta, revealing a diverse community of microbes and some novel hydrolytic enzymes.
متن کاملCharacterisation of tannins and in vitro protein digestibility of several Lotus corniculatus varieties
Seven birdsfoot trefoil (BFT) varieties (Lotus corniculatus) grown in Sweden, were harvested at the 50% ̄owering stage and analysed for tannins by the radial diffusion and HCl±butanol methods. The ̄avan-3-ol composition of different BFT tannins was determined by HPLC. Tannins were isolated and examined for their molecular weight distributions by HPLC gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and MALD...
متن کاملCollective Vigilance in the Greater Kudu: Towards a Better Understanding of Synchronization Patterns
Living in groups, a widespread behaviour in prey species, is an efficient anti-predator strategy (Krause & Ruxton 2002). Starting from the assumption that information about predators spreads in the group, Pulliam (1973) proposed a mathematical model showing how an individual can decrease its own vigilance as a response to an increase in group size, while enjoying a constant probability of escap...
متن کاملThe Effect of Tannins in Grape Pomace and Oak Leaf on the in vitro Organic Matter Digestibility and in situ Disappearance of Sheep
The effect of grape pomace (Vitis vinifera) and in oak leaf (Quercus libani) tannins by three runs of in vitro gas production on the organic matter digestibility (OMD) and in situ dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearance were studied in four sheeps. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to deactivate the tannins. In vitro gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 48, 72, 96 and 12...
