Abstract. The purpose of the research Was to study genetic diversity bovine leukemia virus isolates obtained in Belgorod Region using restriction fragment length polymorphism method (RFLP). Scientific novelty. Bovine leukosis is one most common chronic infectious diseases cattle many countries world, which causes significant economic losses livestock industry. typing (BLV), its structure, evalu...

Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis is an important disease of cattle with serious economic implications. The etiology is bovine herpes virus type-1 which leads to clinical to latent infections and abortions. In this study, an aborted bovine fetus was suspected of IBR infection. The virus was grown in cell line (MDBK) and cytopathic effect observed. CPE began at 12 hr post infection of cells and ...

Bovine somatotropin (bST) increases milk production in dairy animals. The maximum increase in milk production has been observed up to 41%. Somatotropin did not change milk composition significantly. During short-term application of bST, cows mobilized their body-reserves to support the increased milk production. Although DM intake of cows was increased in the long-term applications, however, gr...

The present study describes a novel microcarrier substrate consisting of a swellable, copolymer of styrene and divinylbenzene, derivatized with trimethylamine. The co-polymer trimethylamine microcarriers support the growth of a number of different cell lines - Madin Darby Bovine Kidney, Madin-Darby Canine Kidney, Vero and Cos-7 - under serum-free conditions, and human diploid fibroblasts in ser...

The possibility of breeding or genetically engineering cattle for resistance to disease has tremendous potential for increasing the efficiency of milk and meat production. In cattle and other species, major genes that control humoral and cellular immune responses to a variety of antigens have been mapped to a chromosomal region known as the major histocompatibility complex. However, resistance ...
