Sheep Depredation by Golden Eagles in Montana

A limited study on two ranches near Dillon, Montana, near the end of the lambing season in 1974 revealed that 44 domestic lambs were killed by golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos). This was 76 percent of all deaths recorded during the short study. Using an average docking percent of 90 (based on years before severe eagle problems developed), the 76 percent eagle predation, and the 1974 docking per...

Immunodiagnosis of Haemonchus contortus infection in sheep by indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

Indirect plate enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was standardized and evaluated for its effectivenessin immunodiagnosis of haemonchosis in experimental and clinical cases in sheep by using somatic wholeadult antigen of H. contortus. Plate ELISA was standardized using 5 μg/well antigen concentration with1:100 and 1:1000 of sera and conjugate dilution. Indirect plate ELISA was able to demonstrate...

the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation

in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
