This study was conducted to compare the meat qualities of loin (m. longissimus dorsi) and top round (m. semimembranosus) from Hanwoo and Holstein veal. Ten Hanwoo and Holstein calves were randomly selected from a local cattle farm and raised. They were slaughtered when they were 8 mon old and weighed. Weight and percentage in primal cuts and slaughter performance of Hanwoo and Holstein veal cal...

Now a days, an important and interesting alternative in the control of tick-infestation in cattle is to select resistant animals, and identify the respective quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and DNA markers, for posterior use in breeding programs. The number of ticks/animal is characterized as a discrete-counting trait, which could potentially follow Poisson distribution. However, in the case of ...

The present on-farm research evaluated the occurrence of fatty liver syndrome and its predisposing risk factors for multiparous dairy cows from a commercial herd in Venezuela. Liver biopsy samples were collected at 35 days (d) prepartum (Holstein, n = 14; Holstein × Carora crossbred, n = 17) as well as 1 to 7 d (Holstein, n = 8; Holstein × Carora crossbred, n = 11) and 28 to 35 d (Holstein, n =...

The composition and physical nature of milk is very complex. The stability of milk depends upon the different constituent of milk. Determination of heat stability of milk is one of the factors that assess the stability of milk. In this study an attempt was made to measure the heat stability of milk obtained from different varieties of cows and also made an attempt to identify the different comp...

Let A be the classical, singly-graded Steenrod algebra over prime order field F2 and let P⊗h:=F2[t1,…,th] denote polynomial on h generators, each of degree 1, viewed as a module A. Write GLh for usual general linear group rank F2. As well known, (mod 2) cohomology groups algebra, ExtAh,h+⁎(F2,F2) is still largely mysterious all homological degrees h≥6. The h-th algebraic transferTrhA:(F2⊗GLhAnn...

Data were 876 birth records and 727 weaning records of straightbred and F3 crossbred calves produced in the third generation of a five-breed diallel. Among straightbreds at birth, Holstein calves were heaviest and widest at the shoulders and hips. Jersey calves were lightest and narrowest at the hips, and Brahman calves were narrowest at the shoulders. Holstein crosses tended to be larger at bi...

abstract background: athletes’ recovery is important in improving their performance. nutritional strategies can be effective in enhancing recovery rate. choosing the best food items in appropriate intervals can play effective roles in resynthesis of fuels and recovery of muscle injury. beverage micro and macronutrient content are helpful in fuel restoration. in this study, we assess the effects...

Allowing a single electron to hop to next-nearest neighbours (NNN) in addition to the closest atomic sites in the Holstein model, a modified Trugman method is applied to exactly calculate the effect on the polaronic effective mass in one, two, and three dimensions, building on the previous study of the one-dimensional NNN Holstein model. We also present perturbative calculations and a heuristic...

Beef derived from Holstein steers is a significant source of the U.S. beef supply. The nation’s 9.1 million dairy cows in 2003 were 22% of the U.S. cow herd (NASS, 2005). Given the typical breed distribution of dairy cows, calving interval, full-term pregnancy rate, peri-natal calf death loss (NAHMS, 2002), gender distribution, dairy beef placement (80%) and survival to market (94%), it can be ...
