aim : the current investigation aimed to evaluate ruminant raw milk as a reservoir source of this bacterium and analyze the diversity of caga and vaca genotypes as h. pylori virulence factors to find any relationship between these genotypes in human and animal h. pylori strains. background: the way of transmission of helicobacter pylori as one of the most controversial bacteria in the world whi...

Two / 2 East Friesian (EF), one / 4 EF, one / 8 EF, and several Dorset rams were mated to crossbred ewes from 1993 through 1996. Growth, reproduction, and lactation performance of their progeny were compared. EF-cross lambs had greater birth, weaning, and postweaning weights than Dorset-cross lambs. When lambing at one and two years of age, EF-cross ewes gave birth to and reared more lambs per ...

Yogurt is one of the most popular fermented dairy products and an excellent medium for new ingredients/food source. This study sought to evaluate characterize bovine milk (BM) sheep (SM) yogurt made from milk, BM:SM mixture with respective 100:0 fractions: 75:25, 50:50, 25:75 0:100, their influence on physicochemical parameters, antioxidant, protein profile, microstructure color analysis yogurt...

Kivircik sheep is an important local Turkish sheep according to its meat quality and milk productivity. The aim of this study was to analyze gene expression profiles of both prenatal and postnatal stages for the Kivircik sheep. Therefore, two different cDNA libraries, which were taken from the same Kivircik sheep mammary gland tissue at prenatal and postnatal stages, were constructed. Total 307...

The calcium status of lactating, non-lactating, and male sheep on farm in southwestern Punjab, Pakistan was studied. Pasture and animal were sampled at the end of the first month of summer and winter. All samplings were carried out fortnightly. A mineral supplement was available to all animals throughout the year. Plasma calcium in all animals was not affected by the physiologic state and gende...

The objective of this study was to carry out a sensitivity analysis on the impact of various production strategies and performance levels on the relative economic values (REVs) of traits in dairy sheep. A bio-economic model implemented in the program package ECOWEIGHT was used to simulate the profit function for a semi-extensive production system with the Slovak multi-purpose breed Improved Val...

bio-directed synthesis of nanoparticles is an interesting field of rapid advancement for biologists,chemists and materials scientists, especially in light of efforts to find out green methods of inorganicmaterial synthesis. in the present study, green synthesis of platinum nanoparticles (ptnps) using sheepmilk is reported for the first time. by adjusting the concentrations of chloroplatinic aci...
