Variations in certain properties of bovine cervical mucus during the oestrous cycle.
THE epithelium of the cervix and upper vagina of the cow and certain other animals produces a mucous secretion in which, according to Woodman & Hammond [1925], may be found a mucoprotein belonging to the class of mucin bodies containing mucoitin sulphuric acid, since they identified glucosamine in a specimen of cervical mucus. The chemical composition of this secretion does not appear to have b...
متن کاملEpidermal mucus, a major determinant in fish health: a review
Fish epidermal mucus contains innate immune components, secreted by globlet cells that provide the primary defence against different pathogenic microbes and act as a barrier between fish and its immediate niche. The major function of mucus includes entrapment and sloughing of microbes. The mucus also contains many factors such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), lysozymes, lectins, proteases, etc...
متن کاملChanges in pig cervical mucus in relation to the oestrous cycle.
Daily or more frequent samples of cervical mucus were collected from forty-two gilts and analysed for Na and K. In five gilts, sampled through several oestrous cycles, the K level exceeded that of Na for short periods during oestrus. The ovarian status of twenty animals indicated that the K peak occurred approximately 40 hr before ovulation but with some individual variations. Two of these anim...
متن کاملAssociation of Bovine Lactoferrin Gene with Mastitis in Frieswal Cattle
ThirtyFrieswal lactating cows were screened for clinical and subclinical mastitis and subsequently classified into healthy, subclinically affected and clinically affected groups each group comprising of 10 cows. Polymorphism of cow lactoferrin (LTF) gene promoter was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The results showed that LFT gene pro...
متن کاملDetermination of the proper time for mating after oestrous synchronisation during anoestrous or oestrous by measuring electrical resistance of cervical mucus in ewes
The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether the electrical resistance values of the cervical mucus and/or blood οestradiol-17β and progesterone concentrations at mating, after oestrous synchronisation during the anoestrous or oestrous period in ewes, are related to fertility. Oestrus was induced by medroxyprogesterone acetate-impregnated intravaginal sponges (Veramix, Upjohn, US...
