The effect of early colonized gut microbiota on the growth performance of suckling lambs
The early colonized gut microbiota during the newborn period has been reported to play important roles in the health and immunity of animals; however, whether they can affect the growth performance of suckling lambs is still unclear.

Calves in most dairy farms are separated from their dams either immediately or within a few hours after birth, prompting increasing concern of the society for reasons of animal welfare. The aim of this study was to identify systems to maintain cow-calf contact (CCC) that balance the benefits for calf growth and health against the negative impacts on ...

Electron Microscopy of the Suckling Mouse Cataract Agent: a Noncultivable Animal Pathogen Possibly Related to Mycoplasma [PDF]
The suckling mouse cataract agent (SMCA) is a filtrable (<220 nm), noncultivable agent isolated from ticks in Georgia in 1961. It grows to high titer in the eyes and brains of intracerebrally inoculated mice in which it induces cataract, uveitis, and chronic brain infection.

Phytogenic as feed additive for suckling dairy calves’ has a beneficial effect on animal health and performance [PDF]
Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the use phytogenic as feed additive of Holstein calves could exert beneficial effects on animal health and performance. Thirty newborn calves were randomly divided into two groups (control and treated), and the treated consisted of 10 g of the phytogenic product diluted in milk once a day for 30 ...

The rate of triacylglycerol entry into plasma in 14- to 15-day-old suckling rats was measured using the Triton WR1339 method. When the pups were left with the mother and allowed to nurse continually, the rate was 31.8 +/- 2.3 mumol/hr per rat.
