tissue nutrient supply may be synchronized with endogenous physiological rhythms to optimize animal and human health. glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity have endogenous rhythms that are not essentially dependent on food type and eating. human glucose tolerance declines as day comes into night. based on such evolutionary findings, large evening meals must be avoided to reduce risks of vis...

Neonate ruminants possess little cell-wall and starch degrading enzyme activity. Importantly, early establishment of fibrolytic, amylolytic, and proteolytic capacities is influential for the early expansion of the reticulorumen epithelia. Such an early development in reticulorumen fermentation will enable a timely hepatic adaptation to volatile fatty acids assimilation. The early nutrient relea...

background: the distribution and preferences of ticks of animals in central of iran were studied four times a year. methods: one thousand seven tick specimens were collected from different localities including isfahan, chaharmahalbak­htiary, eastazarbaijan, west azerbaijan, kordestan, kermanshah, lorestan and fars. results: most of sampled animals in this area were infested. we also encountered...

Gastrointestinal disease caused by the apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum is one of the most important diseases of young ruminant livestock, particularly neonatal calves. Infected animals may suffer from profuse watery diarrhoea, dehydration and in severe cases death can occur. At present, effective therapeutic and preventative measures are not available and a better understanding of ...

In Kenya, Mulberry is grown in less than a piece of an acre by most the farmers. Current acreage mulberry stands at 250, spread over Western, Nyanza, and Rift Valley Coastal regions. leaves are highly palatable digestible (70-90%) to ruminants can be fed non-ruminants as part feed ingredient. Protein content essential amino acid profile young stems varies from 15 35% depending on variety. The a...

Objective- To get a concrete information about nature, cause and geographic distribution of ruminant congenital malformation in certain areas of Bangladesh. Design- Clinical study. Animals- A total 76 ruminant calves and kids having congenital deformities were studied. Procedures- Surgical intervention for each case was carried out after proper diagnosis and post operative care with systemic an...

The impairment of water quality by faecal pollution is a global public health concern. Microbial source tracking methods help to identify faecal sources but the few recent quantitative microbial source tracking applications disregarded catchment hydrology and pollution dynamics. This quantitative microbial source tracking study, conducted in a large karstic spring catchment potentially influenc...

The Australian per capita consumption of ruminant meat such as beef and lamb has declined over the last two decades. Over the same period, however, per capita consumption of non-ruminant meat such as chicken and pork has continued to increase. Furthermore, it is now observed that the human consumption of kangaroo meat is on the rise. This study investigates the implications of these changes in ...
