Three-year-old Angus x Gelbvieh beef cows nutritionally managed to achieve a BCS of 4 +/- 0.07 (479.3 +/- 36.3 kg of BW) or 6 +/- 0.07 (579.6 +/- 53.1 kg of BW) at parturition were used in a 2-yr experiment (n = 36/yr) to determine the effects of prepartum energy balance and postpartum lipid supplementation on cow and calf performance. Beginning 3 d postpartum, cows within each BCS were assigne...

Abstract Safflower is a minor oilseed crop in Australia where the market is dominated by canola, cottonseed and sunflower. Safflower however offers an alternative oilseed crop in marginal areas. This study was designed to evaluate current safflower lines and to determine their potential value both for edible oil and meal for animal feed. Two sets of samples were analysed. The first was a collec...

BACKGROUND The fatty acid composition of the phospholipids in sarcolemma may significantly influence cell membrane functions. We evaluated the effects of dietary fat on the pharmacodynamics of the antiarrhythmic drug propafenone in isolated, perfused rabbit hearts. METHODS AND RESULTS Three groups of weanling rabbits (n = 9 each group) were fed diets of 10% wt/wt lard, fish oil, or safflower ...

Background. The fatty acid composition of the phospholipids in sarcolemma may significantly influence cell membrane functions. We evaluated the effects of dietary fat on the pharmacodynamics of the antiarrhythmic drug propafenone in isolated, perfused rabbit hearts. Methods and Results. Three groups of weanling rabbits (n=9 each group) were fed diets of 10%O wtlwt lard, fish oil, or safflower o...

Our objective was to determine duodenal and ileal flows of total and esterified fatty acids and to determine ruminal fermentation characteristics and site and extent of nutrient digestion in sheep fed an 80% concentrate diet supplemented with high-linoleate (77%) safflower oil at 0, 3, 6, and 9% of DM. Oil was infused intraruminally along with an isonitrogenous basal diet (fed at 2% of BW) that...

Safflower yellow (SY) is the safflower extract and is the one of traditional Chinese medicine. The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of SY on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury (SCIRI) in rabbits. The models of spinal cord ischemia reperfusion (SI/R) were constructed, and the degree of the post-ischemic injury was assessed by means of the neurological deficit scores and...

The aim of this research was to evaluate the impact variety, location and sowing dates on some yield quality traits safflower. field experiments study were carried out in spring season 2017 2018 under ecological conditions Suleymanpasa Malkara districts Tekirdag. experiment laid as a split plot design based randomized complete block with three replications, which cultivars constituted main two ...

Female rats 4 weeks old were fed diets including beef tallow or safflower oil in combination with sucrose or rice starch. At 8 weeks of age, half the rats were orally administered 2 of estrogen (mestranol) in5 Ml of safflower oil and half were fed the vehicle only. After 10 to 14 days of estrogen treatment, rats were fasted and exsanguinated. Alterations were found in weight gain, liver weights...
