The water intake of ewes

The Role of Orexin-A in Water Intake in Water-deprived Rats

Background: The lateral hypothalamus (LH), which produces orexin, is vital for body solution homeostasis. Lateral hypothalamus (LH) lesion causes adipsia and its stimulation increases water intake. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of an intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of orexin-A (OXA) on water-drinking behavior in water-deprived rats. Metods: A total of 32 male W...

Phomopsin Intake Reduces Wool Growth in Mated Ewes

In Western Australia large areas of lupins are grown, and the stubbles of these crops provide valuable summer grazing for sheep in the absence of lupinosis. Lupinosis is a mycotoxicosis resulting from the ingestion of phomopsins (Culvenor et al. 1977), toxins produced on lupin stubbles by the fungus Phomopsis leptostromiformis (van Wannelo et al. 1970). It is often a fatal disease, but apart fr...

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Iodine status in ewes with the intake of iodine enriched alga Chlorella

The effect of increased intake of iodine at different selenium intake was studied in three groups of lambing ewes consisting of five animals and in their lambs for 76 days (from day 4 to day 80 post partum). Iodine in blood plasma, milk and urine was determined by a modified method according to Sandell-Kolthoff. Mineral supplement contained iodine and selenium in the form of Ior Se-enriched alg...
