Abnormal Hæmoglobin in Sheep

Adult Hæmoglobin Standards in Burma

The Hæmoglobin Index in Coolies

The returns presented hereunder are those taken from the examination of Indians and Chinese coolies newly arrived from their native coasts on a Rubber Estate in Johore. Absolute accuracy in the examination of stools could not be obtained owing to difficulties in the direction of discontent and distrust likely to be incurred by too drastic handling of newly arrived labourers. Two smears were tak...

Hæmoglobin Levels in Adolescent Schoolchildren

INTRODUCrION IT has been suggested that lack of interest in school work, disinclination to study, and poor educational attainment may be sometimes associated with low haxmoglobin levels. This study was primarily designed to test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the mean hamoglobin levels between girls of high and low educational attainment, i.e., girls in the highest and lowest edu...

Prevalence and Incidence of Abnormal Behaviours in Individually Housed Sheep

This study examined the prevalence and incidence of abnormal behaviour in sheep housed individually indoors. Ninety-six castrated Merino sheep were observed using 15-min instantaneous sampling between 08:15 and 18:15 h for two consecutive days over a 3-week period. Sheep on average spent 62% of their time idle, 17% feeding, 1% drinking, 5% pacing, 10% chewing pen fixtures and 4% nosing pen fixt...

Strain-Associated Variations in Abnormal PrP Trafficking of Sheep Scrapie

Prion diseases are associated with the accumulation of an abnormal form of the host-coded prion protein (PrP). It is postulated that different tertiary or quaternary structures of infectious PrP provide the information necessary to code for strain properties. We show here that different light microscopic types of abnormal PrP (PrP(d)) accumulation found in each of 10 sheep scrapie cases corresp...
