The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of age at weaning and breed on the stress response of calves to weaning and their temperament. At calving, 14 Parda de Montaña calves and 14 Pirenaica calves were randomly assigned to either early weaning (at 90 days) or traditional weaning (at 150 days) treatment. During nursing, calves were allowed to suckle their dams twice a day for 30 min. Aft...

Mechanic ventilation (MV) is an essential part of the support given to patients with respiratory failure, central nervous system injuries or undergoing postoperative care of adults, children or newborns. This support, in conjunction with frequent invasive monitoring, may cause anxiety, agitation and pain.(1) Children admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) have fear and anxiety both from the ab...

BACKGROUND Weaning from mechanical ventilation is influenced by patient, clinician, and organizational factors. OBJECTIVE To identify factors that may influence weaning and adoption of weaning strategies and tools, clinicians' perceptions of weaning strategies, and weaning experiences of patients and patients' families. METHOD A scoping review of indexed and nonindexed publications (1990-20...

The present study was planned to determine an optimum live-feeding protocol for angelfish larvae (Pterophyllum scalare). Larvae with initial weight of 0.10 mg, a length 4.5 mm, and depth 1 mm were reared on three different feeding regimens 30 days. All experimental larval groups fed Artemia nauplii from the end yolk-sac resorption. control treatment (Group I) maintained days 14-28, + dry feed 2...

The early social environment can influence the health and behaviour of animals, with effects lasting into adulthood. In Europe, around 60% of dairy calves are reared individually during their first eight weeks of life, while others may be housed in pairs or small groups. This study assessed the effects of varying degrees of social contact on weaning stress, health and production during pen rear...

The present study was performed to study the effect of inbreeding on the pre-weaning growth traits including the birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), average daily gain (ADG), Kleiber ratio (KR) and lamb survival from birth to weaning (SUR) in Baluchi, Iran-Black and Zandi sheep. Significant positive inbreeding trends were found only for Baluchi and Iran-Black breeds as 0.038 and 0.278, resp...
