Though the edible bovine by-products are widely used for human consumption in most countries worldwide but the scientific information regarding the nutritional quality of these by-products is scarce. In the present study, the basic information regarding the yields, physicochemical and nutritional compositions of edible Hanwoo bovine by-products was studied. Our results showed that the yields, p...

Na transport across a preparation of sheep omasum was studied. All tissues exhibited a serosa-positive short-circuit current ( I sc), with a range of 1-4 μeq ⋅ h-1 ⋅ cm-2. A Michaelis-Menten-type kinetic was found between the Na concentration and the I sc(Michaelis-Menten constant for transport of Na = 6.7 mM; maximal transport capacity of Na = 4.16 μeq ⋅ h-1 ⋅ cm-2). Mucosal amiloride (1 mM), ...

Computed tomographic (CT) images of the reticulum, rumen, omasum and abomasum of five healthy Holstein-Friesian bull calves were compared with anatomical transverse cadaver sections of the same calves. The calves were scanned in the transverse plane from the 5th thoracic vertebra to the sacrum six times three weeks apart from birth to 105 days of age. Multiplanar reconstruction was used to crea...

Omasal impaction is a serious disease problem in cattle in India, but it is difficult to diagnose clinically. Ultrasonography has been proposed for the noninvasive evaluation of omasal disease. The objectives of this study were to compare the in vitro and in vivo ultrasonographic appearance of the omasum and to compare omasal appearance, limits, and size in clinically healthy cows with those in...

The forestomachs of cows and sheep have historically served as important models for the study of epithelial transport. Thus, the ruminal epithelium was among the first tissues in which absorption of chloride against an electrochemical gradient was observed, requiring a tight paracellular barrier to prevent back-leakage. However, little is known about ruminal barrier function, despite the consid...

The composition of non-carcass thin-tailed sheep fed Indigefera zollingeriana with different rearing systems, was evaluated using twenty an average initial body weight 18.3 ± 2.01 kg. variables observed in this study included the head, feet, skin, tail, liver, spleen, lungs, heart, kidneys, rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum, intestines, empty viscera and omnetal fat. design used a factorial co...

The gastrointestinal lumen can directly absorb all diand tripeptide protein degradation products, and oligopeptide absorption depends on the specific peptide transport carriers, which are located in gastrointestinal epithelial cells on the brush border membrane. Yak (Bos grunniens) use N more efficiently than cattle do, which implies that yak have a specific mechanism of nonprotein utilization ...

In the present investigation, goat β-defensin (GBD) expression in different tissues of Osmanabadi was studied. Goat tongue epithelia had highest level GBD expression, followed by reticulum, rumen, omasum, kidney, spleen, liver and uterus. Minimal observed tracheal tissue. To our knowledge, this is first study to report rumen.

The objective of this experiment was to assess ruminal outflow and apparent total-tract digestibility using digesta samples from 3 sites (reticulum, omasum, and abomasum) and 3 marker methods (single marker: indigestible NDF [iNDF; sample without separation]; double marker: iNDF + Co-EDTA [filtered sample]; and triple marker: iNDF + ytterbium [Yb] acetate + Co-EDTA [filtered and centrifuged]) i...
