Abstract This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with chestnut tannins (CNT) on metabolic and antioxidant status prepartum cows along their colostrum quality. Pregnant multiparous Holstein were paired according to parity body condition score, assigned either a diet supplemented 20 g/d commercially available product containing (CNT, n=20) or an unsupplemented control (CON,...

AIM This study was conducted to find out the relationship of prepartum udder and teat measurements with subsequent milk production traits in primiparous Nili-Ravi buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 12 Nili-Ravi buffalo heifers were selected from Buffalo Farm, Central Institute for Research on Buffaloes, Regional Station- Bir Dosanjh, Nabha, Patiala, Punjab. The udder length (UL), udd...

Four experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of changing the proportion of supplemental degradable intake protein (DIP) from urea on forage intake, digestion, and performance by beef cattle consuming either low-quality, tallgrass prairie forage (Exp. 1, 2, and 4) or forage sorghum hay (Exp. 3). Experiments 1, 2, and 3 were intended to have four levels of supplemental DIP from urea:...

To investigate the extent to which enteric methane (CH4) emissions from growing lambs are explained by simple body weight and diet characteristics, a 2 × 2 Latin square changeover design experiment was carried out using two sheep breeds and two fresh pasture types. Weaned lambs of two contrasting breed types were used: Welsh Mountain (WM, a small, hardy hill breed) and Welsh Mule × Texel (TexX,...

PURPOSE To evaluate if the new Discovery Molecular Insights (DMI) PET/CT scanner provides equivalent results compared to the standard of care PET/CT scanners (GE Discovery 600 or GE Discovery 690) used in our clinic and to explore any possible differences in semi-quantitative measurements. METHODS The local Institutional Review Board approved the protocol and written informed consent was obta...

Thirty two multiparous Holstein cows were used in a randomized block design to investigate the effects of feeding diets included two different source of nonfiber carbohydrate during the transition period on dry matter intake (DMI), lactational performance, blood metabolites and parturitional characteristics. Cows received total mixed rations containing either macaroni wastes(MW) or steam-flaked...

ABSTRACT Acquisition of resistance to sterol demethylation inhibitors (DMIs) by populations of Venturia inaequalis was investigated using a microscopical method developed by C. Siebels and K. Mendgen. Microscopical analysis of conidiophore formation enabled the earlier detection of resistance and a clearer distinction between DMI-resistant and DMI-sensitive populations than other in vivo method...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationships between chewing behavior, digestibility, and digesta passage kinetics in steers fed oat hay at restricted and ad libitum intakes. Four Hereford steers, with an initial average BW of 136 kg, were used in an experiment conducted as a balanced 4 × 4 Latin square with 4 treatments (levels of intake) and 4 periods. Animals were fed lopsid...

Objective. The purpose of this prospective study was to investigate the predictive value of single prepartum findings combined with serum biomarkers sFlt-1 (soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1) and PlGF (placental growth factor) indicating severity of preeclampsia (PE) for occurrence and extent of impaired postpartum kidney function. Study Design. In this prospective, single center study 44 PE p...
