background: a reactive oxygen and nitrogen intermediate produced during an inflammatory response is the important part of host-defense strategies of organ-isms to kill the parasite. however, it is not well known whether these intermediates cause dna damage and oxidative stress in goats infected with babesia ovis . the pur-pose of this study was to clarify the effects of babesiosis on basal leve...

Background: Milk production is one of the most important goals pursued by breeders milk-producing farm animals World Wide. Goats are these animals. This study sought to compare effect Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast (SCY) with or without Selenium and zinc on milk yield nutritional composition hormones related. Methods: Twenty four female Shami goats distributed into 4 equal groups (6 /group) con...

We aimed to use microsatellite BM1258 loci of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) as an indicator of the influence of genetic diversity of immunity in goats (Dazu Black, Hechuan White, Meigu, and Tibetan goat). In total, 132 animals comprising 50 Dazu Black goats, 24 Hechuan White goats, 34 Meigu goats, and 24 Tibetan goats were examined. Collectively, 18 different alleles and 42 genotyp...
