the study was conducted to evaluate the effect of thermal stress on expression profile of genes related to apoptosis in peripartum sahiwal cows. for this, twelve pregnant dry sahiwal cows were selected from livestock research centre at national dairy research institute, karnal. the cows were divided into two groups consisting of six sahiwal cows each. cows of group i calved during thermoneutral...

We developed methods to integrate two published models that partitioned gains in empty body weight (EBW) to fat and fat-free matter. These models were based on separate mathematical formulations for growing and mature cattle. We assumed that as cattle grow from birth to maturity a transition would occur at some point in the life cycle from the growing to the mature mathematical formulation. Thi...

Objective: Identity the genetic aspects and major gene influence on energy balance, milk production, fertility, food safety and consumer are the recent interests of genetic and breeding researchers. Methods: Najdi Cattle is the most prominent breeds in Khuzestan province. To do this plan in Shoushtar Najdi Cattle Station, blood samples were taken from 15 Najdi Cattles. DNA was extracted from wh...

Bailey, D.W., Walker, J.W. and Rittenhouse, L.R., 1990. Sequential analysis of cattle location: day-to-day movement patterns. Appl. Anita. Behav. Sci., 25: 137-148. Studies were conducted in Texas and Colorado to determine if there were consistent movement patterns of grazing cattle. Based on optimal foraging theory, we hypothesized that cattle would select the same area of a pasture to graze f...

identification of associated genes with energy balance, yield and feed intake are recent interests of the animal breeding researchers. najdi breed is the famous cattle breed in the khuzestan province. in this research for the investigation of leptin gene promoter ,from 15 najdi cows in the shushtar cattle center station was taken. dna from whole blood was extracted and 544bp and 566 bp two piec...

the possible relationships between trace elements, oxidative stress and subclinical ketosis during the transition period were evaluated in dairy cows. blood samples were obtained by jugular venipuncture at four times of the transition period: 3 weeks and 1 week before and 1 week and 3 weeks after calving. the highest concentrations of malondialdehyde (mda) and betahydroxybutyrate (bhb) were obs...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Megasphaera elsdenii (M.e.) NCIMB 41125 is a robust lactate utilizing strain of M.e. that is effective in minimizing the risk of ruminal acidosis in feedlot cattle. When dosed orally, cattle adapt smoothly to increasing concentrates in the diet, the incidence of digestive disturbances, morbidity and mortal...

the aim of this study was to analyze the polymorphisms existing in the 5´ flanking region, exonic, and some parts of the intronic regions as well as methylation analysis of the ednrb gene in cattle and goat. these regions were sequenced in three different breeds of cattle including sistani, golpayegani, and holstein and were compared with that of marghoz goat. the results identified that this g...
