Kale Anaemia in Ruminants

* , Andrew Watkins , Dinar Kale and Julius

Over the last 20 years, developing countries have witnessed the increased role of non-governmental actors such as health industry associations and umbrella organizations in the diffusion and governance of health innovation. Utilizing extensive interviews with actors in the Indian and South African health industries, this paper argues that, in a context of emerging pluralism – i.e., a dynamic co...

Changes in mouse gastrointestinal microbial ecology with ingestion of kale.

Kale, a cultivar of Brassica oleracea, has attracted a great deal of attention because of its health-promoting effects, which are thought to be exerted through modulation of the intestinal microbiota. The present study was performed to investigate the effects of kale ingestion on the gastrointestinal microbial ecology of mice. 21 male C57BL/6J mice were divided into three groups and housed in a...

Nitrogen fixation in ruminants.

The amount of nitrogen gas (N2) available for microbial protein synthesis via nitrogen fixation in the rumen was estimated. Measurements were made of nitrogen fixation by ruminal ingesta from goats fed low protein rations for a prolonged period of time, and by ingesta from sheep fed high protein rations. Nitrogen fixation by rumen microorganisms incubated for 30 or 180 min in vitro was measured...
