AIM The study was undertaken to find out the physicochemical characteristics, selected processing-related parameters and activity of selected enzymes in Surti goat milk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Milk samples from Surti goats and buffalo milk samples were collected during the period from July 2013 to January 2014 at Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural University (AAU), Anand. M...

Even if investigators learn Libyan leader Moammar Khadafy w ere behind W ednesday’s jetliner bom b explosion, a majority of N otre Dame students interview ed w ould not support sending U.S. troops to Libya in retaliation. In addition, a majority o f stu ­ dents questioned support the United States' crossing Khadafy’s "line of death," despite that ac­ tion’s possible connection to the bom b blas...

â â â â  libya experienced a substantial increase in oil revenue as a result of increased oil prices during the period of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and again after 2000. recent increases in oil production and the price of oil, and their positive and negative macroeconomic impacts upon key macroeconomic variables, are of considerable contemporary importance to an oil dependent economy such...

the aim followed in this study was to make a comparison of the composition of fatty acids available in the sperm lipids of cattle, sheep and goat. semen samples were collected from 28 holestein cows, 12 chal rams and 7 mahabadi goats. after washing out and removal of the seminal plasma, total lipids of the sperm were extracted and fatty acids trans-methylated. the fatty acid methyl esters were ...

prochymosin is one of the most important aspartic proteinases used as a milk-clotting enzyme in cheese production. in the present investigation we report sequence of cdna encoding goat ( capra hircus ) preprochymosin and compare its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with sequences of other ruminants preprochymosin. as bovine prochymosin, the caprine prochymosin cdna encodes 365 amino ...

Bullying, especially in developing countries, has not been much examined, especially the influence of parents on the risk of being bullied. The aim of this study was to determine whether active parenting is associated with reduced peer victimization among middle-school students in North Africa. A secondary analysis of data from more than 13,000 middle-school students who participated in the Glo...

In milk processing, special emphasis is directed to fostering the taste and healthy values of goat milk. Therapeutic properties of goat milk are very well known. Comparison of cow and goat milk at the level of chemical composition suggests significant differences in their physical and chemical characteristics. Smaller diameter of fat globules (natural homogeneity), high portion of essential ami...

Disease mapping has become an important method used in public health research and disease epidemiology. It is a spatial representation of epidemiology data. A very common disease mapping method is called Standardized Morbidity Ratio (SMR). Many researchers used this method to estimate the relative risk of the disease as a preliminary analysis. In this study, the SMR method displays the high and...
