The number of lambs sold per ewe mated in the breeding flock has a considerable impact on sheep operation profitability. This depends primarily on fertility, prolificacy (# of lambs), and lamb survival, mothering ability, milk production of the ewe and lamb growth rate. Optimal reproduction does vary by environment and management system – some sheep operations don’t want a lambing rate over 200...

Data on antifungal prophylaxis in paediatric cancer patients at high risk for invasive fungal disease (IFD) are scant. Intermittent administration of liposomal amphotericin B (LAMB) has been shown to be safe and effective in adult patients with haematological malignancies. We prospectively evaluated the safety and efficacy of prophylactic LAMB at a dosage of 2.5 mg/kg twice weekly in children a...

Body condition was scored at lambing (BCSL) on 101 mature (4 to 7 yr old) Polypay ewes and related to colostral immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration and lamb performance. Colostrum samples were collected from each ewe within 12 h of lambing and litters of more than two lambs were reduced to two within 2 h of lambing. Colostral IgG concentrations decreased rapidly with time (b = -3.28; R2 = .213...

Adhesively bonded joints between metallic and composite plates are gaining increasing acceptance in safety critical applications such as automotive and aerospace structures. Lamb wave methods have considerable potential for the inspection of adhesive joints and assemblies for two reasons: they do not require direct access to the bond region, and they are much more amenable to rapid scanning tha...

On the basis of stream power, the phenomena including regime channel establishment and river meandering can be studied. So, previous researchers have suggested and developed the stream power theory and believed that stream power minimization affects these phenomena. In this paper, the stream power theory and a criterion for meandering river modeling will be studied. Then the conclusion of case ...

presentation of a very rare monster case in the sheep was highlighted. a monster lamb twinned to a normal lamb. cesarean section, morphological examination and necropsy. at cesarean operation, a live male twin and a phenotypically male monster were delivered. the monster was diagnosed as holoacardius acephalus.presentation of a very rare monster case in the sheep was highlighted. a monster lamb...

We present the calculation of Next-to-Leading-Order Quantum Chromo Dynamics corrections for the production of a W or Z weak boson associated with a bottom anti-bottom quark pair at hadron colliders (pp̄, pp → W/Z bb̄), including the effects of a non-zero bottomquark mass. We find a considerable reduction of the renormalization and factorization scale dependence of our results with respect to Lead...

a study was conducted to evaluate effects of age at weaning on various growth characteristics and stress measures of zandi lambs. the lambs were weaned at 45 and 90 days of age. the body weights and average daily gain (adg) were monitored during the experimental period and 5 months of age. cortisol, glucose, blood urea nitrogen (bun) and lamb behavior (agitation, vocalization) were recorded bef...
