The Effect of Feeding Fortified Milk with Organic Iron Supplementation on Performance, Diarrhea Status and Blood Parameters in Suckling Dalagh Lambs

in order to surveying the effect of feeding propolis on performance, feed intake and digestibility in holstein suckling calves, the experiment was designed in a completely randomized design with 4 treatments (diet) and 10 replicates (cattle) during 52 days. treatments included: 1. control (without monensin in starter and without propolis in milk); 2. starter without monensin and 500 ppm soluble...

Monoclonal antibodies directed against two rotavirus surface proteins (vp3 and vp7) as well as a rotavirus inner capsid protein (vp6) were tested for their ability to protect suckling mice against virulent rotavirus challenge. Monoclonal antibodies to two distinct epitopes of vp7 of simian rotavirus strain RRV neutralized RRV in vitro and passively protected suckling mice against RRV challenge....

We examined the potential of overt carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT I) to control the hepatic catabolism of palmitoyl-CoA in suckling and adult rats, using a conceptually simplified model of fatty acid oxidation and ketogenesis. By applying top-down control analysis, we quantified the control exerted by CPT I over total carbon flux from palmitoyl-CoA to ketone bodies and carbon dioxide. Our ...

background: rfamide-related peptide-3 (rfrp-3) inhibits gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) and luteinizing hormone (lh) secretion in rats. this study evaluates the effects of litter size and suckling intensity on rfrp mrna expression in the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (dmh) of rats. materials and methods: a total of 32 pregnant and 4 non-lactating ovariectomized (control group) sprague-...

The mother, aged twenty-five, was referred on account of 'jaundice' unaccompanied by any symptoms of ill health. Her last child was born six months previously and weighed 8 lb. at birth. The baby was breast fed until two months old, when the mother consulted her practitioner because of the onset of 'jaundice' both in herself and her child. She was advised to stop breast feeding and the baby's '...

In this study, the effects of late gestational undernutrition (LGU) on plasma concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I), leptin, insulin and glucose in subsequent sucking lambs was investigated. Ten twin-bearing ewes were fed either restrictedly (Restricted) or adequately (Control) during the last six weeks of gestation and were fed ad libitum after parturition. Blood samples were t...

During lactation the suckling stimulus increases the activity of two populations of neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons in the hypothalamus, the caudal portion of the arcuate nucleus (ARH) and the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH), and suppresses the activity of TIDA neurons in the ARH. In the present study, an acute resuckling model was used to examine the role of suckling-induced hyperprolactinemia in ...

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the type of birth, the sex of the kids, the duration of the birth (categorized as short, medium, or long), and the level of maternal care (categorized as low, medium, or high) on the behavioral variables of kids during the first hour after birth. The parturitions of 78 primiparous goats of Murciano-Granadina breed (46 single-birth and 32 twin-...
