Background IgE mediated cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is a frequent disease in pediatric population, and challenge tests are considered gold standard in its diagnosis, although its use is limited in clinical practice. An appropriated anamnesis and laboratorial analysis are the most frequent and feasible used tools. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of these practices in IgE mediated CMA...

A digital management system of cow diseases is presented in this paper, which based on standardization disease management framework. It can manage dairy cow disease from each stage including cow file creation, routine monitoring, disease prevention and control. Integrate electronic medical records was set up, which based on medical records include cow basic information and routine monitoring re...

Eight 4-ha mixed warm-season grass pastures in southwestern Arkansas (33°40'4″ N, 93°35'24″ W, and elevation 107 m) were stocked with either large mature size (571 kg [SD 55.2] BW) or small mature size (463 kg [SD 58.2] BW) spring-calving cows at 4 stocking rates (SR; 1, 1.5, 2, or 2.5 cow-calf pairs/ha) over 4 yr to test the effects of SR and mature body size on cow and calf performance and sy...

Accumulation of sawdust and sugarcane bagasse can cause serious problems for the environment. In this study, we examined the growth and reproductive performance of Eisenia foetida in cow manure, cow manure + sugarcane bagasse (4:1, V/V) and cow manure + sawdust (4:1, V/V) waste and its effects on CO2 evolution. The results showed that the weight gain for E. foetida (live weight) per gram of dry...

This paper shows how it is possible to use agents and ontologies to deal with dynamic coordination of business processes in Cross-Organizational Workflow (COW). The aim of COW is to support the cooperation between distributed and heterogeneous business processes running in different autonomous organizations to reach a common goal, corresponding to a value-added service. In this paper, we consid...

The transverse sections of radius diaphysis in an 11-year-old giant Holstein cow with dermal dysplasia of a collagen disorder-related skin fragility (Cow 1), probably based on increasing turnover of the dermal collagen as reported previously, were morphologically and physico-chemically investigated. Cow 1 had about one and a half times as much as the body weight of normal Holstein cows, aged 5 ...
