Heat stress has negative effects on pregnancy rates of lactating dairy cattle. There are genetic differences in tolerance to heat stress; Bos taurus indicus (B. t. indicus) cattle and embryos are more thermotolerant than Bos taurus taurus (B. t. taurus). In the present study, the effects of sire and sire breed on conception and embryonic/fetal loss rates of lactating Holstein cows during the Br...

Inclusion of Bos indicus genetics improves production traits of cattle maintained in hot climates. Limited information exists detailing pregnancy-specific events as influenced by variable amounts of Bos indicus genetics. Three experiments were completed to examine the effect of Bos taurus and Bos indicus genotypes on fetal size and plasma pregnancy-associated glycoprotein (PAG) concentrations. ...

OBJECTIVE Dietary changes play major risk roles in oxidative stress and cardiovascular disease and modulate normal metabolic function. The present study was designed to investigate the ameliorative potential of different extracts of Hemidesmus indicus to experimental high-fat diet in wistar rats, and their possible mechanism of action. MATERIALS AND METHODS Male wistar rats were divided into ...

Mechanisms of testicular thermoregulation, the relationship of scrotal, testicular vascular cone (TVC), and testicular morphology with thermoregulatory capability, and their effects on semen quality and sperm production were studied in 20 Bos indicus, 28 crossbred, and 26 Bos taurus bulls. The ratio of testicular artery length and volume to testicular volume were larger (P<0.05) in B. indicus a...

The alcoholic and aqueous extracts of five medicinal plants (Cassia fistula, Albizia lebbeck, Cassia occidentalis , Sphaeranthus indicus and Vitex nigundo) collected from Uttarakhand, North India; were evaluated for antibacterial activity by Agar diffusion method against medically important bacteria viz. B. subtilis, K. pneumonia, E. coli, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, S. aure...

abstract in order to identification of plant parasitic nematodes of rosmarinus officinalis rhizospher during 2008-2009, fifty soil and root samples were collected from campus of ferdowsi university. soil and root samples were washed and nematodes were extracted by centrifugal flotation technique. according to de grisse, 1969 the extracted nematodes were fixed and transferred to glycerin. in thi...
