However, there is a paucity of data about the C. pseudotuberculosis exotoxin, phospholipase D ...

Histological studies were conducted on the tonsil of soft palate in six month-old male crossbred goats. The tonsil was located on the nasopharyngeal side of the soft palate. The tonsillar surface epithelium presented small folds and was lined by pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium in the rostral half and stratified squamous epithelium in the caudal part. The epithelium mounting over t...

Animal-infective forms of a West African Trypanosoma vivax stock were grown in culture for three months using Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) with Earle's salts, supplemented with 20% inactivated goat serum over fibroblast-like cell lines isolated from the embryo of Microtus montanus or of an East African Galla crossbred goat at 36.5 degrees C and in 4% CO2 - 96% air. The bloodstream trypanosome...

Rumen microbial communities play important roles in feed conversion and the physiological development of the ruminants. Despite its significance, little is known about the rumen microbial communities at different life stages after birth. In this study, we characterized the rumen bacterial and the archaeal communities in 11 different age groups (7, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180, 360, 540 and 720...

Sonography is a convenient, non-invasive diagnostic modality in small ruminants, often used in reproductive management, internal medicine, and surgery. Pregnancy diagnostics and imaging anatomy and pathology of organs, such as neoplasia, are major applications. Urolithiasis is one of the most common causes of death in male sheep and goats, for which sonography is the diagnostic modality of choi...

In in vitro true dry matter degradability (IVTDMD), in situ dry matter degradability, and neutral detergent fiber degradability, both in vitro (IVNDFD) and in situ (ISNDFD) techniques were used with crossbred goats to determine dry matter and neutral detergent fiber (NDF) ruminal degradability in eight forages and four industrial byproducts. Total digestible nutrients (TDN) content obtained wit...

Background: Etawa's crossbreed goat milk is one of the alternatives chosen by community as a substitute for cow's milk, people in Indonesia believe it increases antibodies. to find out whether demand goat's or decreases during presence COVID-19.
 Methods: This study used questionnaire-based descriptive method. The sample consisted 5 breeders Etawa crossbred goats, communicated via cellphon...

The objective of this paper was to report the isolation of two fluoroacetate degrading bacteria from the rumen of goats. The animals were adult goats, males, crossbred, with rumen fistula, fed with hay, and native pasture. The rumen fluid was obtained through the rumen fistula and immediately was inoculated 100 μL in mineral medium added with 20 mmol L(-1) sodium fluoroacetate (SF), incubated a...
