The effects of low-protein (LP) diets and rumen-protected CLA on DMI, ADG, carcass traits, and health status of double-muscled Piemontese young bulls were investigated. Forty-eight bull calves (BW = 237 ± 24 kg) were divided in 4 groups and housed in 12 fully slatted pens. Bulls were fed 2 diets differing in CP density [high-protein (HP) diet: CP = 145 g/kg of DM; LP diet: CP = 108 g/kg of DM] ...

Biorobotic Waterbird Flipper Locomotion Flipper-propelled locomotion is distinguished by a rhythmic, alternating movement of the flippers, resulting in wave-like motion that propels cormorant forward. In article number 2200380, Jinguo Huang, and co-workers propose processing framework to deliver technological basis for issue flexible flippers confronted with fluid pressures during underwater mo...

Abstract Until recently, most four-legged robots have lacked a feature that is found again and in nature—a tail. Studies of animal locomotion the laboratory indicate leaving out tails has been design drawback. In fact, research conducted by our lab at Virginia Tech shown an articulated robotic tail can effectively maneuver stabilize quadruped both for static dynamic locomotion.
