Oregano Extract Added into the Diet of Dairy Heifers Changes Feeding Behavior and Concentrate Intake

This experiment aimed to describe the effects of Oregano extract (OE) inclusion into the concentrate fed to dairy heifers on physiological parameters, feeding behavior, intake, and performance. Thirty-two Holstein heifers were randomly distributed into four treatments: C = control, without addition of OE; OE2.5 = 2.5 g; OE5.0 = 5.0 g and OE7.5 = 7.5 g of Oregano extract per heifer/day. Feeding ...

Concentrate levels and Saccharomyces cerevisiae affect rumen fluid-associated bacteria numbers in dairy heifers

Total viable rumen bacteria counts through the use of colony-unit forming assays lack accuracy because they only include culturable bacteria capable of initiating cell division. Thus, bacterial counts can be underestimated. The use of fluorescent characteristics of cell membranes allows flow cytometry to enumerate and distinguish dead from live bacteria cells. The objective of this experiment w...

Novel Nutrition for Dairy Replacement Heifers

The goals of a dairy replacement management program are to rear heifers at a low economic and environmental cost without compromising future lactation performance. To meet these objectives, increased sophistication dairy heifer nutrition programs may be required. Research evaluating more sophisticated dairy heifer nutrition programs however does not always result in a relevant field application...

Amchur or Dried Mango-Pulp as an Antiscorbutic

Assistant Professor of Chemistry, Medical College, Calcutta, The dried pulp of the mango (Mangifera Indica) contains such a large amount of Citric Acid as to make this common fruit not at all an inefficient substitute for lime-juice when the latter cannot readily be obtained as an antiscorbutic. A quantitative analysis of three different samples of mango-pulp, which had been dried by exposure t...
