The aim of the present study was to compare endometrial gene expression profiles in a group of beef heifers yielding viable or retarded embryos on Day 7 after oestrus as a means of potentially explaining differences in embryo survival rates. Heifers were classified as either: (1) viable, when the embryo collected on Day 7 after oestrus was at the correct developmental stage (i.e. morula/early b...

Sixteen local adult goats were submitted for 9 weeks to 2.09 (high group) and 0.54 (low group) x dietary maintenance respectively. During the experimental period, goats were weighed, oestrus was detected and plasma insulin, urea, non-esterified fatty acids and progesterone concentrations were assessed. At the end of the experiment, ovarian small follicles population was studied by histological ...

Total ovarian blood flow of cows (sum of flows through the ovarian artery and uterine branch of the ovarian artery), measured by electromagnetic flow probes, followed a consistent cyclic pattern, being highest from Day 10 of the oestrous cycle (oestrus = Day 0) until 4 days before the subsequent oestrus. During this period of high ovarian blood flow, blood of uterine origin flowed to the ovary ...

In this case, semen that handled by urethral catheterization was deposited into the deepest point of vagina an anesthetized queen. Intravaginal artificial insemination applied on 2nd day onset oestrus and only single performed. Insemination time determined behavioural cytological evaluations. Two healthy kittens were obtained 62 days after insemination. The case has important reports in terms b...

Fibroepithelial hyperplasia (FEH) of the mammary glands in cats (also known as fibroadenomatosis or feline mammary hyperplasia) was first described in 1973 (1). The syndrome involves the usually reversible, rapid, non-neoplastic enlargement of one or more mammary complexes (4) and is not uncommon in female cats. There is no milk production. Around 20% of all feline mammary masses are non-neopla...

The production traits of Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) were studied using two diets: A [Urea-molasses-rice straw (UMRS), Green Grass and Concentrate] and B [Rice straw, Green Grass and Concentrate]. In cows fed diets A and B, birth weights of calves were 15.2 and 14.1 kg (P<0.05), daily milk yield 2.0 and 2.0 kg (P>0.05), lactation length 254.8 and 247.1 days (P>0.05), age at first oestrus 28.4 a...

SINCE the conjunctival sac is exposed to the atmosphere foreign bodies of various nature may enter into it. A few cases of the larvae of flies of the Oestrus ovis group being removed from human eyes have been reported in the literature. Herms (1950) studied a first-stage larva of Oestrus ovis removed from the eye of a patient by Fans. Faust and Russell (1957) stated that Lewis removed a first-s...

The effectiveness of CIDR-B treatment for 12 days compared with the double injections of cloprostenol for oestrus synchronization in Kedah-Kelantan (KK) cows was evaluated. A total of 148 KK cows were used in three trials conducted at MARDI Research Station, Kluang, Johor. Cows were allocated randomly into two groups. Group 1 was given two injections IM of cloprostenol at 12 days apart; group 2...

The aim of the current study was to evaluate relationship different parameters from an automatic milking system (AMS) with pregnancy status multiparous cows at first service and assess accuracy such a follow-up regard blood parameters. Before insemination cows, samples for measuring biochemical indices were taken coccygeal vessels concentrations serum albumin (ALB), cortisol, non-esterified fat...

Background: The goal of this study was to confirm the effects engineering design vaginal progesterone implant capsule, which had a 2 cm sponge with diameter 5 cm, porous capsule dose 50 mg MAP in centre and 13 nylon cord for keeping position. Methods: A full concentrate total protein 17% consumed at 0.05 kg/day/head previously administered as many 30 overweight ewes body score least 3 those who...
