this study was performed to determine the effects of different levels of chromium methionine (cr-met)supplementation on growth performance, meat oxidative stability and ruminal metabolites in male kids. thirty-two male mahabadi goat kids, with an average initial body weight (bw) of 22 ± 2 kg at 4 months of age, were allocated in a completely randomized design with four treatments: control witho...

the aim followed in this study was to make a comparison of the composition of fatty acids available in the sperm lipids of cattle, sheep and goat. semen samples were collected from 28 holestein cows, 12 chal rams and 7 mahabadi goats. after washing out and removal of the seminal plasma, total lipids of the sperm were extracted and fatty acids trans-methylated. the fatty acid methyl esters were ...

Prophet of POU1F1 (PROP1) plays direct or indirect important roles in the morphogenesis of pituitary gonadotropes as well as lactotropes, somatotropes and caudomedial thyrotropes. It also controls the expression of growth hormone, prolactin and thyrotropin subunits through regulatory PIT1 factor. These hormones have important influences on production traits in most animal species including the ...

the present study was carried out to determine the effects of supplementing chromium-methionine(cr-met) on performance and carcass traits in mahabadi goat kids. thirty-two male kids (averageinitial bw of 22 ± 2 kg, 4-5mo) were used in a completely randomized design of four treatments vis.:1) control (with no cr suppl.), 2) 500ug cr suppl., 3) 1000ug cr suppl.and 4) 1500ug cr suppl.as cr-met/ani...

in this research, in order to describe milk production traits lactation mahabadi goat breed, seven statistical functions were fitted using 1665 milk production traits records and 833 body weight records. the milk production traits were milk yield, fat percent, fat yield, protein percent, protein yield, lactose percent and snf percent. these records have been recorded on 123 goats during years o...

The Effect of Feeding with Different Levels Cannula as a Fat Supplement in the Initial Diet on Performance and Ruminal Blood Metabolites Early Weaning Goats Mahabadi

I n this issue of iJACC, Mahabadi et al. (1) describe a parallel increase of subclinical atherosclerosis and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). Two prior publications (2,3) reported a similar association, and together with experimental models, they support the role of EAT in atherosclerosis inception and progression. In an experimental porcine model, the investigators stripped the epicardial fat ...
