The various relations between q-deformed oscillators algebras and the q-deformed su(2) algebras are discussed. In particular, we exhibit the similarity of the q-deformed su(2) algebra obtained from q-oscillators via Schwinger construction and those obtained from q-Holstein-Primakoff transformation and show how the relation between su √ q (2) and Hong Yan q-oscillator can be regarded as an speci...

We compared diurnal patterns of vaginal temperature in lactating cows under grazing conditions to evaluate genotype effects on body temperature regulation. Genotypes evaluated were Holstein, Jersey, Jersey x Holstein and Swedish Red x Holstein. The comparison of Holstein and Jersey versus Jersey x Holstein provided a test of whether heterosis effects body temperature regulation. Cows were fitte...

The world is going through the debate on hazardous effects of consumption of A1 milk on human health by producing of hazardous chemical compound like beta casomorphin-7 and how this is not the case with A2. The aim of the present study was to genotype the existing population of crossbred Holstein-Friesian (HF) cattle for polymorphism in â-Casein gene (CSN2) using PCR-RFLP technique. Total of 47...

First-parity Holstein (H), Normande-Holstein (NxH) crossbred, Montbeliarde-Holstein (MxH) crossbred and Scandinavian-Holstein (SxH) crossbred cows calving from June 2001 to December 2003 were compared for dystocia and stillbirths from seven California herds. Dystocia scores ranging from 1 (no assistance) to 5 (hard pull) and stillbirths (1 for alive and 0 for dead) were recorded for 1695 Holste...

Electrocardiography (ECG) may be used to recognize cardiac disorders. Levels of milk production may change the serum electrolytes which its imbalance has a role in cardiac arrhythmia. Fifty high yielding and fifty low yielding Holstein dairy cows were used in this study. Electrocardiography was recorded by base-apex lead and blood samples were collected from jugular vein for measurement of seru...

Pure Holsteins (n = 380) were compared to Normande/Holstein crossbreds (n = 245), Montbeliarde/Holstein crossbreds (n = 494), and Scandinavian Red/Holstein crossbreds (n = 328) for 305-d milk, fat, and protein production during first lactation. Scandinavian Red was a mixture of Swedish Red and Norwegian Red. Cows were housed at 7 commercial dairies in California and calved from June 2002 to Jan...

The conformation traits of cows are heritable and linked with functionality and longevity. The dominant dairy breed in Europe is the Holstein. The objectives of this study were to evaluate exterior traits dependence on genotype of Lithuanian Black and White cows according to the degree of Holstein genes. For analysis, the conformation traits data of 53160 cows (in average of 2.7±0.01 lactation)...

The objectives of this study were to determine estrus behavior, interval to estrus, duration of estrus and time of ovulation of Boran, and Boran × Holstein Friesian (HF) breeds. A total of 113 cows and heifers from the two breeds were synchronized with two estrus synchronization protocols: 1) estradiol benzoate (EB) + controlled internal drug release (CIDR) + prostaglandin (PGF2α); and 2) gonad...

Daily milk records of 88 cows in a multibreed dairy herd were used to describe lactation curves and test the ability of seven models to predict daily milk yields, and accumulated 100-d and 305-d milk yields. The seven mathematical models were a gamma function, a mixed log second-degree polynomial model, and five polynomial regression models. Cows were of three breed groups: Holstein Friesian (H...
