- Abstract:
- ... The current study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary boron (B) supplementation on testicular function, thyroid activity and serum calcium (Ca) in rams. Therefore, twelve rams (4 months old and 17.6 ± 1.26 kg average body weight) were divided equally into two groups. Rams of control group (CNT group) fed basal ration ad libitum. In the second group (B group), the rams fed basal ration plus ...

- Abstract:
- ... This study aimed to evaluate the stress response to electroejaculation (EE) through electrocardiogram (ECG) indices alongside hormonal and biochemical indices. Lead II base-apex ECG was recorded at rest (control, T0) and immediately after EE (T1), repeated in four consecutive weeks. The collected ejaculates were evaluated for standard semen characteristics (ejaculate volume, mass motility, individ ...

- Abstract:
- ... The level of pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) in milk and its relationship with the concentration in peripheral circulation during early pregnancy remain uncertain in goats. Therefore, the objectives of present study were to investigate temporal profile of PAG in milk (whole and skim milk) and blood, and to determine the relationship between milk and circulating PAG level during early pregn ...

- Abstract:
- ... The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of diets containing different levels of Pilosocereus gounellei, (xiquexique), (0, 120, 240 and 360 g/kg DM) on intake, performance, ingestive behaviour and water use efficiency in sheep finished in confinement. Twenty non-castrated Santa Inês male lambs with an initial mean body weight of 18.86 ± 1.41 kg and approximately 100 days of age were distr ...

- Abstract:
- ... This project was designed to find out the effect of enterotoxaemia vaccine in reducing C. perfringens infection in goats and to check antibacterial susceptibility against the highest prevailing genotype. A total of 1344 samples were collected randomly from 1008 unvaccinated and 336 vaccinated goats from various managmental systems in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Cultured samples were further iden ...

- Abstract:
- ... Camel milk casein-derived peptides display various bioactivities. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pancreatic enzymes hydrolysis of camel αS-casein on their antioxidant, tyrosinase inhibitory and urease inhibitory activities. Isolated αS-casein was hydrolyzed, fractionated and assayed for their antioxidant properties by using four complementary tests; namely, ABTS•+ scavengin ...

- Abstract:
- ... Information regarding the prevalence and genetic characterization of Anaplasma spp., Babesia spp. and Theileria spp. infecting sheep in Qinghai province, northwestern China, is limited. In this study, 277 sheep blood samples were collected from 7 counties in Qinghai and tested by PCR to detect and identify the above mentioned tick-borne pathogens. Among the 277 sheep, 176 (63.5%) were infected wit ...
