Cassava peel is a waste from the cassava plant which has potential to be used as ruminant animal feed. Processing of skin with ammonia needs done improve quality skin. The research was conducted determine physical and chemical peels after amoniation. study analyzed using completely randomized design (CRD) significant results were further tested Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT). treatment T1 ...

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 ...

Objective- Comparative evaluation of standing and lateral recumbent restraint positions for rumenotomy based on transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) concentrations of Kano-Brown goats (KBGs).Design- Experimental studyAnimals- Eighteen KBGs of both sexes diagnosed of rumen foreign body impaction (RFBI), were allocated to groups A, B ...

Herpesviruses have mainly co-evolved with their hosts for millions of years. Consequently, different related host species may have been infected by various genetically related herpesviruses. Illustrating this concept, several ruminant alphaherpesviruses have been shown to form a cluster of viruses closely related to bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1): namely bovine herpesvirus 5, bubaline herpesviru...

the respiratory tract contains numerous peptides secreted from special pulmonary epithelial cells whichare called endocrine cells. the function of neuroendocrine cells is modulated by amines. serotonin has strong vasomotor and bronchomotor effects in the airway mucosa. the objective of this study was to determine presence and distribution of serotonin-positive endocrine cells in respiratory tra...

backgrounds: genus trichostrongylus (nematoda: trichostrongylidae) is one of the most impor­tant zoonotic nematodes with wide geographic distribution in the world. the purpose of the present study was to describe morphological and morphometrical characteristics of male trichostrongylus species, currently prevalent in domestic ruminants of khuzestan province , south­west iran. methods: gastro-in...

The horns, ossicones and antlers of ruminants are familiar and diverse examples of cranial appendages. We collectively term ruminant cranial appendages 'headgear'; this includes four extant forms: antlers (in cervids), horns (in bovids), pronghorns (in pronghorn antelope) and ossicones (in giraffids). Headgear evolution remains an open and intriguing question because phylogenies (molecular and ...

Phenotypic biotyping has traditionally been used to differentiate bacteria occupying distinct ecological niches such as host species. For example, the capacity of Staphylococcus aureus from sheep to coagulate ruminant plasma, reported over 60 years ago, led to the description of small ruminant and bovine S. aureus ecovars. The great majority of small ruminant isolates are represented by a singl...
