The bovine Growth Hormone gene (bGH) is an attractive candidate gene for milk production in cattle. Single-strand conformation polymorphisms at bGH were identified and used to define haplotype configurations at this gene in the Israeli Holstein dairy cattle population (Bos taurus) and in the parent animals of the International Bovine Reference Family Panel (a collection of B. taurus and B. indi...

lysozyme, as a model protein, was precipitated through the formation of protein-zn complex to micronize for subsequent encapsulation within poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (plga) microspheres. various parameters, including ph, type and concentration of added salts and protein concentration, were modified to optimize the yield of protein complexation and precipitation. the resulting protein parti...

I . The effect of dietary protein level and supplementation with thyroxine and thiouracil on depletion of liver stores of vitamin A, on the percentage of liver vitamin A in the alcohol form and on the plasma level of vitamin A and protein has been studied in chicks. In an experiment with cockerels the relation was investigated between the vitamin A level of plasma and the electrophoretic patter...

The traits particularly important for milk production include milk yield, protein percentage, fat percentage, and the somatic cell score. Alpha-lactalbumin (α-LA) is an important whey protein of cow milk, and is also present in the milk of many other mammalian species. In this study, we analyzed the genetic polymorphisms of the α-LA gene and their relationship to milk production traits (milk yi...

A previous genome scan that was conducted in Spanish Churra sheep identified a significant quantitative trait locus (QTL) for milk protein percentage (PP) on chromosome 3 (OAR3), between markers KD103 and OARVH34. The aim of this study was to replicate these results and to refine the mapped position of this QTL. To accomplish this goal, we analysed 14 new half-sib families of Spanish Churra she...

Cattle hoofs are abundantly available by-product sources of organic material from the slaughterhouse. It can be successfully converted into keratin protein. Keratin extracted using alkali hydrolysis has a better conservancy structure. The purpose this study is optimizing extraction cuttle hoof. Designing experiment, analysis results, and optimization process parameters have been conducted by ce...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of balancing low protein diets for methionine and lysine on performance of early lactation holstein cows under hot environmental temperature. twenty one multiparous holstein cows in early lactation were allocated to three experimental rations including, 1) high protein ration with 17.5% cp, 2) medium protein ration with 16% cp and 12 g/d rumen p...

Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) larvae are thought to manipulate host growth and metabolism through salivary secretions. However, the transcriptome and proteome of Hessian fly salivary glands have not been systematically analyzed. In this research, we analyzed Expressed-Sequence-Tags (EST) representing 6106 cDNA clones randomly selected from four libraries made from dissected salivary glands...
