Neospora caninum is an obligate intracellular apicomplexan parasite that causes reproductive loss and severe economic losses in dairy and goat industry. In the present study, we aim to investigate the effects of N. caninum tachyzoites on the release of extracellular traps (ETs) in caprine monocytes and furthermore elucidated parts of its molecular mechanisms. N. caninum tachyzoite-induced monoc...

in this study the genetic polymorphism of growth hormone (gh) gene as a candidate gene in livestock was investigated. blood samples were randomly collected from 34 alpine and 42 saanen goats. dna was extracted from blood samples and a 365 bp region of exon 5 of the gh genewas amplified by polymerase chain reaction (pcr). pcr products were analyzed using single strand conformation polymorphism (...

Competitive inhibition of hybridization between (125)I-labeled caprine arthritis-encephalitis viral RNA and homologous cDNA by heterologous viral RNA shows that the caprine retrovirus shares <20% genome sequence homology with visna and progressive pneumonia viruses. These viruses, however, are indistinguishable in immunodiffusion reactions involving the major structural protein (p28).

this study was designed to compare the effectiveness of different activation treatments for activation of in vitro matured oocytes and their developmental potency in mcr2aa medium so as to obtain maximum number of embryos. a total of 1090 cumulus oocyte complexes (coc’s) were collected from 480 ovaries. in vitro matured oocytes were randomly divided into four groups. group 1 in vitro matured oo...

The efficacy of various culture systems was studied for the development of in-vitro produced Caprine embryos . For this purpose, 2 to 4 cell stage caprine embryos matured and fertilized under in vitro conditions were cultured with four culture systems (cumulus cell monolayers, oviductal cell monolayers, chick embryo and rabbit peritoneal fluid) and a control system (TCM-199 + FCS) for about 5 d...

The IS1311 polymerase chain reaction-restriction endonuclease analysis was used to detect genetic differences among 38 Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) isolates from cattle, sheep, goats and bison from distinct regions of Spain, India and the United States of America (USA). In Spain, all eight bovine isolates, three out of six caprine isolates and one of ten ovine isolates were...

Caprine milk contains a large amount of different sialylated and neutral lactose-derived oligosaccharides compared to cow or sheep milk. In addition, its oligosaccharide profile is very similar to human milk, which suggests it has similar physiological activity. Thus, the caprine milk oligosaccharide fraction is a very promising food ingredient for human nutrition applications, especially for t...
