The data presented here on the oxygen tension in the maternal and fetal bloods entering and leaving the placenta of the goat were obtained as a part of a wider investigation of the oxygen supply to the fetal kid. As the first step in the program we estimated the rate at which blood reaches the uterus of the goat at selected stages in gestation and the arterio-venous oxygen difference across tha...

The chromokinesin Kid is important in chromosome alignment at the metaphase plate. Here, we report that Kid function is regulated by phosphorylation. We identify Ser427 and Thr463 as M phase-specific phosphorylation sites and Cdc2-cyclin B as a Thr463 kinase. Kid with a Thr463 to alanine mutation fails to be localized on chromosomes and is only detected along spindles, although it retains the a...

Dairy goat kid rearing is the foundation of future milk production, yet little known on this topic. References available to producers are limited, making it more difficult for dairy farms reach their full production potential. This review paper aimed identify current recommendations practices intensive systems and assess whether different were based scientific literature. Recommendations practi...

Alteration of the lipid content and fatty acid (FA) composition of foods can result in a healthier product. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of flaxseed oil or sunflower oil in the goat diet on fatty acid composition of muscle and expression of lipogenic genes in the semitendinosus (ST) muscle. Twenty-one entire male Boer kid goats were fed diets containing different levels of ...

In 1984 Sabine Meinecke-Tillmann [5] and Burkhard Meinecke [6] published their article ?Experimental Chimeras ? Removal of Reproductive Barrier Between Sheep and Goat? in Nature. Their study conquered the reproductive barrier between sheep [7] and goats through embryo manipulation. Their article appeared in Nature on the same day that a similar experiment, conducted by Carole Fehilly [8], Steen...

Different kids grow up in different environments. Imagine Kid A: she gets to play and talk with her parents a lot, she has a yummy dinner every night with her family, she gets to travel on airplanes, and she has lots of books in her bedroom. Now imagine Kid B: his parents are really busy, he does not play or talk with grownups very much, he watches TV a lot, he does not get to eat much healthy ...

One of the constraints in unraveling the mysteries blurring the advancement of research in the quest to totally put HIV problems under control is getting the appropriate animal model that would truly simulate human cases. This problem is more apparent in studies involving the central nervous system. Consequently, a viable animal model to generate information for the production of drugs and vacc...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous administration of synthetic eugenol (EG) for disbudding of goat kids, as a new chemical method. Thirty apparently healthy Raieni (Cashmere) goat kids (five-day-old) were divided randomly into six groups (n = 5). In the pathology (P) groups (P3, P8 and P60 according to the sample collection day after...
