This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of lemongrass [Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf.] powder (LGP) on rumen ecology, rumen microorganisms, and digestibility of nutrients. Four ruminally fistulated crossbred (Brahman native) beef cattle were randomly assigned according to a 4 x 4 Latin square design. The dietary treatments were LGP supplementation at 0, 100, 200, and 300 g/d w...

U pward fixation of the patella is a syndrome most commonly reported in the horse but also occurs frequently in working bullocks and male buffaloes of India, while calves and cows below two years of age were involved sporadically (1 -4). The condition is less frequent in other countries, and is usually seen in dairy cattle late in gestation (5-8). The duration and severity of the lameness incre...

Breed parameters for a computer model that simulated differences in the composition of empty-body gain of beef cattle, resulting from differences in postweaning level of nutrition that are not associated with empty BW, were estimated for 17 biological types of cattle (steers from F1 crosses of 16 sire breeds [Hereford, Angus, Jersey, South Devon, Limousin, Simmental, Charolais, Red Poll, Brown ...

DNA from four cattle breeds was used to re-sequence all of the exons and 56% of the introns of the bovine tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene and 97% and 13% of the bovine dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) coding and non-coding sequences, respectively. Two novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and a microsatellite motif were found in the TH sequences. The DBH sequences contained 62 nucleotide chan...

The objectives of this work were to compare reproduction and parturition traits of the Criollo breed Romosinuano as straightbred and crossbred cows with Angus and Brahman, to estimate heterosis and direct and maternal genetic breed effects, and to describe calf loss, cow removals from the project, the occurrence of calving difficulty, inadequate calf vigor at birth, and udder problems by cow br...

Abstract This study was conducted to observe the post-weaning growth performance of Belgian Blue-Crossed (BB-crossed) and Brahman Cross (BX) calves. used a total eighteen calves (BB-crossed = 6 heads BX 12 heads) aged months. Calves were reared for six months under same conditions management. observed measured their (body weight, body length, heart girth, withers height). Data analyzed using On...

Abstract Untargeted metabolomics focuses on the detection of as many groups metabolites possible to obtain patterns or fingerprints biological phenomena. Hundreds even thousands can be measured, utilizing advanced chemistry techniques such high-performance liquid chromatography – quadrupole time flight (HPLC-qTOF). Statistical analyses are utilized narrow number from just those that statistical...
