Three experiments were conducted including 180 Majorera kids. In the first experiment, the effect of use of lyophilized colostrum vs. frozen colostrum on immunoglobulin G (IgG) blood serum concentration was evaluated. Kids (n = 40) received the same management and IgG mass [3368 mg/kg of body weight (BW)] during the colostrum feeding period. The IgG in blood serum of kids from the lyophilized c...

The aims of this study were to analyze the systemic IgG responses against third-instar salivary gland (L3SG) antigens by ELISA in Oestrus ovis experimentally infected kids (EIK) and in naturally exposed adult goats (NEG). Firstly, kids (n=4 per group) were assigned to receive intranasally 0, 12, 24, 36, and 48 first-instars in experimental infections. Blood samples were taken from EIK at Days 0...

and 24 days after birth to record its growth. Individual faecal samples were collected three times a week and examined for the presence of Cryptosporidium species oocysts using a modified Ziehl-Neelsen technique (Henriksen and Pohlenz 1981). A semi-quantitative examination was carried out in which 20 fields of 400 x magnification per slide sample were assessed and scored (0 No oocysts, 1 One to...

Effects of energy, protein, or both energy and protein restriction on gastrointestinal morphological development were investigated in 60 Liuyang Black kids, which were sourced from local farms and weaned at 28 d of age. Weaned kids were randomly assigned to receive 1 of 4 dietary treatments (15 kids per treatment), which consisted of adequate nutrient supply (CON), energy restriction (ER), prot...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of different crude protein (CP) levels on the growth performance of Awassi lambs and Black goat kids. Forty lambs and 40 kids were randomly selected and allocated to separate pens of equal size for 75 days. Each group was fed one of four rations containing 12, 14, 16, or 18% CP. Final weights and gains for lambs were higher (P<0.001) than th...

Rush Limburger: Well it seems pretty stupid to me. I know how you research people do this. You do a “randomized controlled trial.” You pick a kindergarten class and give half of the kids toy guns and not the other half, then see who commits more crimes. You control the “intervention” and watch for “outcomes.” Of course this cannot be done. It is unethical to withhold guns from law-abiding citiz...

Sedentarism is associated with obesity and other chronic diseases at all ages. Increasing physical activity with in-school interventions, focusing on energy expenditure and bone loading reduces risk of a number of costly chronic diseases. The aim of the current study was to characterise the metabolic and musculoskeletal load intensity of the recent successful CAPO Kids exercise intervention. Pr...

AIM The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of dietary supplementation with different levels of protein on fecal egg counts and hematological parameters in goat kids with subclinical nematodosis under semi-intensive condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS 20 goat kids (3-5 months old with an average body weight of 8.90 kg) were randomly allocated to four groups: T1, served as a negativ...

Kids are using web more frequently on mobile devices. The need to have mobile compatible web pages and mining the content of the web for these mobile devices is also necessary. Many researchers are focusing the issue. We have tried to elaborate this issue by conducting a detail study on the kids of various schools of Faridabad, tried to understand kids’ requirement, their interest on mobile dev...
