BACKGROUND Echocardiography is a non-invasive method for assessment of the ovine and caprine heart. Complete reference ranges for cardiac dimensions and time indices for both species are not currently available and reliability of these measurements has not been evaluated. The objectives for this study are to report reliability, normal cardiac dimensions and time indices in a large group of adul...

Background: Echocardiography is a non-invasive method for assessment of the ovine and caprine heart. Complete reference ranges for cardiac dimensions and time indices for both species are not currently available and reliability of these measurements has not been evaluated. The objectives for this study are to report reliability, normal cardiac dimensions and time indices in a large group of adu...

We investigated commercially available dermal sheep collagen either cross-linked with hexamethylenediisocyanate, or cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. In previous in vitro studies we could discriminate primary, i.e. extractable, and secondary cytotoxicity, due to cell-biomaterial interactions, i.e. enzymatic actions. To develop dermal sheep collagen for clinical applications, we focused in this ...

the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of inbreeding on average daily gains and kleiber ratios in moghani sheep. traits included average daily gain from birth to 3 months (adg1), average daily gain from birth to 6 months (adg2), average daily gain from 3 months to 6 months (adg3), average daily gain from 3 months to 9 months (adg4), average daily gain from 3 months to ye...

Objective: The immunomodulatory effect of geranial, geranial acetate, gingerol, and eugenol essential oils were evaluated by studying humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Materials and Method: The essential oils were evaluated for immunomodulatory activity in in vivo studies, using rats as the animal model. The essential oils were tested for hypersensitivity and hemagglutination reaction...

aim : the aim of this survey was to compare four dna extraction methods from iranian sheep strain e.granulosus isolates. background : cystic echinococcosis (ce) caused by the metacestode of the dog tapeworm echinococcus spp., is a global zoonotic infection which is economically important and constitutes a major threat to public health in many countries. strains characterization is essential for...

I . Sixteen experiments were made with eight sheep to determine the effects of various compounds on methane production, digestion and metabolism. 2. Two experiments with two sheep given stearic acid incorporated in the diet showed that it depressed CH, production by 2.7 moles/mole stearic acid. The digestion of the basal diet was also depressed, the apparent digestibility of dietary cellulose f...

Makouei sheep is one of the famous breeds in Iran which is reared in Azerbaijan province for their meat, milk and wool. Fifty clinically healthy Makouei ewes were selected to study the variations in energy-related blood metabolites during peri-partum period. Blood was collected from Jugular vein from each sheep on day 7 before the expected lambing time, day of parturition and also day 7 postpar...

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) has become a global threat to public health systems around the world in recent decades. In 2017, Italy was placed among worst-performing nations Europe by European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, due worryingly high levels of AMR Italian hospitals regions. The aim this systematic review investigate state art research on over last five years. PubMed data...
