The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of parenteral supplementation of cobalt, copper and iron in late pregnancy on ewe hematology parameters and lamb vigour. Twenty ewes were allocated to one of two groups (n=10). In the test group, on day 120 ofpregnancy, cobalt, copper and iron were injected at a dose of 0.1 mL/kg BW (Fercobsang, France, cobalt gluconate 5 mg/100 mL, copper ...

we conducted this study to determine the level of immunity after vaccination of lambs with whole bodyechinococcus granulosus. to do so, 200 mature e. granulosus parasites, which were kept in 10% formalinefor 8 months, were obtained from the department of parasitology, school of veterinary medicine, ferdowsiuniversity of mashhad. the soluble protein of the parasite was prepared. the sample was h...

evaluation of gastric emptying rate using nuclear scintigraphy as the gold standard method has been studied in various animals, but there is no report in suckling lambs. the aim of this study was to develop a nuclear scintigraphic method to visualize and measure abomasal emptying rate by estimation of scintigraphic half emptying time (t1/2) in the live neonatal lamb. five healthy, female irania...

the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of feeding rapeseed (27%, dm basis) and sunflower biodiesel by-products as protein supplements on fatty acid composition (fa), profile (ratios and indices),enzyme activitiesfrom thecarcassin lambs fed cereal-based diets. simultaneously, itwas examined the relationship between ingested fa and carcass fa. samples were obtaine dfrommal efa...

data utilized in this study were 6800 records of lambs’ life longevity, and survival rate from 263 sires and 1839 dams collected from 1989 through 2009, from the lori-bakhtiari flock at shooli station in shahrekord. the data were analyzed, using linear and hazard ratio models along with weibul function. these models included such non genetic factors as year and month of birth, sex of lamb, type...

Lamb and mutton are the most important sources of income for South African Merino farmers. The possibility of genetically improving survival of a Merino lambs was assessed with data from 5769 lambs that were born alive in the Cradock fine wool stud from 1998 to 2003. Three traits can possibly be linked to lamb survival and can therefore be included in selection programs, namely birth coat score...

Lamb waves are dispersive in a plate and elastic properties of anisotropic materials are dependent on the crystal orientation. It is expected that the wave propagation on a thin anisotropic plate is complex due to dispersion of Lamb waves which will be dependent on the propagation direction. Therefore it is essential to understand elastic waves in an anisotropic plate. In the present work, a si...

The folding mechanisms for β-barrel membrane proteins present unique challenges because acquisition of both secondary and tertiary structure is coupled with insertion into the bilayer. For the porins in Escherichia coli outer membrane, the assembly pathway also includes association into homotrimers. We study the folding pathway for purified LamB protein in detergent and observe extreme hysteres...
