the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing progesterone injections by progesterone vaginal inserts on productive and reproductive parameters of lactating cows with reproductive problems after prolonged periods of heat stress. fifteen holstein cows were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: 1) treated with two progesterone vaginal inserts (p4-ins); 2) treated with prog...

milk is often described as a complete food because it contains protein, sugar, fat, vitamins, and minerals. this study was performed to investigate risk factors affecting chemical and bacteriological quality of bulk tank milk. according to the following conducted experiments, the milk was divided into two standard and non-standard groups. then, effect of risk factors on making the samples non-s...

background infant formula means a breast-milk substitute specially manufactured to satisfy, by itself, the nutritional requirements of infants during the first months of life up to the introduction of appropriate complementary feeding. we aimed to determine the cost and burden of formula feeding on the family in al-amara city, iraq. materials and methods a cross-sectional analytic study was car...

most of the poor people in developing countries live in rural areas. experience shows that in manycountries animal husbandry development and increasing investment specially is a way to challengethe poverty in rural areas. this is obvious that, small producers have key role in dairy markets anddairy development but they have no power to bargain and negotiate for higher prices, access to themarke...

BACKGROUND Cow's milk allergy is the most common childhood food allergy. Previously we noted that children who outgrew their milk allergy had milk-specific IgE antibodies primarily directed against conformational epitopes; those with persistent milk allergy also had IgE antibodies directed against specific sequential epitopes. OBJECTIVE Because high temperature largely destroys conformational...

AIM The study was undertaken to find out the gross composition, nitrogen distribution, and selected mineral content in Surti goat milk, and its comparison was made between cow and buffalo milk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Goat milk samples of Surti breed and buffalo milk samples were collected during the period from July to January 2014 at Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural Univ...

We present a novel approach to 3D shape synthesis of closed surfaces. A curved or polyhedral 3D object of genus zero is represented by a curvature distribution on a spherical mesh that has nearly uniform distribution with known connectivity among mesh nodes. This curvature distribution, i.e., the result of forward mapping from shape space to curvature space, is used as the intrinsic shape repre...

Plants in their natural habitat have to face multiple stresses simultaneously. Evolutionary adaptation of developmental, physiological, and biochemical parameters give advantage over a single window of stress but not multiple. On the other hand transcription factors like WRKY can regulate diverse responses through a complicated network of genes. So molecular orchestration of WRKYs in plant may ...
