Cattle have emerged as one of the most important domestic animals widely used for meat, milk, and fur. Derivation bovine pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) can be applied in drug selecting human disease modeling facilitated agriculture-related applications such production genetically excellent cattle by gene editing. Extended PSCs (EPSCs), capable differentiating into embryonic extraembryonic parts,...

Bovine TB (bTB) is endemic in Irish cattle and has eluded eradication despite considerable expenditure, amid debate over the relative roles of badgers and cattle in disease transmission. Using a comprehensive dataset from Northern Ireland (>10,000 km(2); 29,513 cattle herds), we investigated interactions between host populations in one of the first large-scale risk factor analyses for new herd ...

Abstract: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) has a place with the uncommon cluster of continuously progressive neurological infections identified as Transmissible Encephalopathies (TSEs). TSE sicknesses are described by long incubation periods ranging from while for transmissible mink encephalopathy, to several years BSE. consistence testaments sort CEP (Certificate Suitability). During 198...

Degenerate PCR primers which amplify a conserved region of the DNA polymerase genes of the herpesvirus family were used to provide sequence evidence for a new bovine herpesvirus in bovine B-lymphoma cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The sequence of the resultant amplicon was found to be distinct from those of known herpesvirus isolates. Alignment of amino acid sequences demon...

Highly purified bovine follitropin was dissociated into its alpha- and beta-subunits after treatment with 1 M-propionic acid. The dissociated subunits were fractionated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and further purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The isolated alpha- and beta-subunits were biologically inactive, but their recombinants regenerated 80% of the follitropin activity. ...

A well-characterized sperm specific protein of the Member of immunoglobulin superfamily, IZUMO1, has crucial role in fertilization by mediating sperm binding to the egg plasma membrane in the mouse. However little is known about IZUMO1 in bovine. Here, we describe the molecular cloning and expression analysis of bovine IZUMO1 (bIZUMO1). RT-PCR and Western blot analysis of the bovine tissues ind...

Background: To further minimize transmission risk of blood-borne viral and prion diseases, manufacturers of therapeutic animalor human-derived proteins have implemented improved in-process pathogen-removal procedures. Objectives: To evaluate removal of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy agents (prions) and viruses using Omega 100K VR membrane filtration system (Pall Filtron, Northborough, ...

Within the present study, effects of fermentation on anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet properties both homemade commercially purchased bovine dairy almond, coconut, rice-based alternatives were evaluated. The extracted total lipids (TL) from fermented unfermented bovine, products further separated into their neutral (NL) polar (PL) fractions by counter current distribution. TL, PL, NL each sa...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of low-dose bovine colostrum protein concentrate (CPC) supplementation on selected immune variables in cyclists. Twenty-nine highly trained male road cyclists completed an initial 40-km time trial (TT(40)) and were then randomly assigned to either a supplement (n = 14, 10 g bovine CPC/day) or placebo group (n = 15, 10 g whey protein concent...
