Serotype B of Pasteurella multocida is a major agent of haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS), a form of blood poisoning widespread in cattle and buffalo from Southern Asia. The vaccines currently used against the disease are not potent enough, being effective only for a limited duration only. In an attempt to identify immunogenic components of P. multocida for use as live/subunit vaccines, the outer m...

The aim of this study was to determine the variants of the thioesterase (TE) beta-ketoacyl reductase (KR) domains of the Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN) gene, in the East Anatolian Red (EAR) and South Anatolian Red (SAR) cattle breeds. It has been suggested that the FASN gene is effective on fatty acid composition of meat in cattle. In this study, the genotype and allele frequencies of g.17924 A>G, ...

Indonesia has a total population of around 206 million with 4.5 million households keeping livestock. About half of the cattle farmers are small farmers. The Indonesian archipelago is a land area of 1.8 million km consisting of over 13,000 islands stretching from the Western tip of Sumatra to the Eastern border of Papua. The largest island, Kalimantan (Borneo), covers 28% of the total land area...

The aim of the present study was to get a total physical and chemical characterization and comparison of the principal components in Bangladeshi buffalo (B), Holstein cross (HX), Indigenous cattle (IC) and Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) milk. Protein and casein (CN) composition and type, casein micellar size (CMS), naturally occurring peptides, free amino acids, fat, milk fat globule size (MFGS), ...

Working in an area exceptional terms of the spread echinococcal diseases, where indigenous population is mainly engaged cattle breeding, for three years (from 15/29 29 to 15/3 32) I had see and operate on echinococcus a lot city Semipalatinsk. sick. Moreover, we observe relatively rare localizations echincoccal cysts.

Cattle production in Cameroon is essentially under a traditional small-scale husbandry management system. The resultant effects are high inbreeding, low fertility, high mortalities of about 5-10% in adult cattle and 20% in calves (Tanya, unpublished results). In an effort to change the situation, the government has put in place a number of programs for cattle production improvement. In 1952 a p...

BACKGROUND Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a chronic debilitating disease and is a cause of morbidity and mortality in livestock, wildlife and humans. This study estimated the prevalence and risk factors associated with bovine tuberculosis transmission in indigenous cattle at the human-animal interface in the Serengeti ecosystem of Tanzania. RESULTS A total of 1,103 indigenous cattle from 32 her...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of linkage disequilibrium (LD) levels among different populations can be used to detect genetic diversity and to investigate the historical changes in population sizes. Availability of large numbers of SNP through new sequencing technologies has provided opportunities for extensive researches in quantifying LD patterns in cattle breeds. The aim of this study was to compare ...

The gastrointestinal lumen can directly absorb all diand tripeptide protein degradation products, and oligopeptide absorption depends on the specific peptide transport carriers, which are located in gastrointestinal epithelial cells on the brush border membrane. Yak (Bos grunniens) use N more efficiently than cattle do, which implies that yak have a specific mechanism of nonprotein utilization ...

the physiological study was carried out to determine the relation between of risk factors and occurrence of infectious mastitis disease that associated in 453 indigenous dairy cattle in farms nearby the tehran. milk samples were collected for mastitis detection by california mastitis test (cmt) .the analysis of results revealed significant association between body weight, udders depth, teats le...
