Characterization of bison (Bison bison) myoglobin

Meat Science, 2010
Bison is an alternate meat species gaining increased popularity in North America. Although previous investigations reported that bison meat discolors faster than beef, the molecular basis of this observation has not been investigated. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to determine the redox stability, thermostability, and primary ...

Conservation Genetics and North American Bison (Bison bison) [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2009
The many millions of North American bison in the mid-19th century were reduced to near extinction by the middle 1880s. Plains bison, the subspecies found in the United States, were saved from extinction primarily by 5 private ranchers and the survival of a small herd in what is now Yellowstone National Park.

Sperm characteristics in plains (Bison bison bison) versus wood (Bison bison athabascae) bison

Theriogenology, 2011
The objective was to compare sperm characteristics between the two subspecies of North American bison, plains bison (Bison bison bison) and wood bison (Bison bison athabascae). Frozen-thawed ejaculated sperm from age-matched plains (n = 3) and wood (n = 2) bison were evaluated for morphometry, motility, viability, protein profile, and in vitro ...

The influence of elevated temperature conditioning on bison (Bison bison bison) meat quality

Meat Science, 2000
Elevated temperature conditioning (ETC: 10°C until 10 h post mortem) was effectively employed as a means of cooling bison carcasses in order to avoid the cold-induced meat quality defects that are a risk with conventional bison carcass chilling (0-2°C for 24 h). The ETC treatment maintained internal M. Longissimus lumborum and M.

Reproductive success of bison bulls (Bison bison bison) in semi-natural conditions

Animal Reproduction Science, 2003
Sexual size dimorphism has been related to a high variance in male reproductive success. Research on American bison (Bison bison bison), a species that shows moderate sexual dimorphism, has put forward the assumption that under wild conditions the largest part of the female herd is bred by a limited number of males.

The Lipids in Bison bison

Journal of Mammalogy, 1955
The Arctic and sub-Arctic climates are difficult for any animal to endure. The American bison, which was introduced into central Alaska in the late 1920's, has become adequately adjusted and now thrives. Although there is an indication that lipids are involved in the adaptation of some mammals to cold, a dearth of “normal” values for the tissue lipids

Superovulation and embryo transfer in wood bison (Bison bison athabascae)

Theriogenology, 2013
Two experiments were done to develop an effective superovulatory treatment protocol in wood bison for the purpose of embryo collection and transfer. In experiment 1, donor bison were assigned randomly to four treatment groups (N = 5 per group) to examine the effects of method of synchronization (follicular ablation vs. estradiol-progesterone treatment)

The seasonal fertility of North American bison (Bison bison) bulls

Animal Reproduction Science, 2007
The objective of this study was to determine the presence and magnitude of seasonal fluctuations in semen quality and other reproductive indices in bison bulls. Testicles from 288 commercially slaughtered bison bulls were collected monthly over a 1-year period.

Malignant Schwannoma in an American Buffalo (Bison bison bison)

Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series A, 2006
SummaryA case of a malignant schwannoma in a 20‐year‐old male American buffalo (Bison bison bison) from the Grand Park Zoo, Gyeonggi Province, Republic of Korea is reported. The animal showed no apparent clinical signs before death except for wound on the neck.

Sarcocystis cruzi infection in wood bison (Bison bison athabascae)

Veterinary Parasitology, 2015
Endangered wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) is the largest terrestrial mammal in the American continent. Animal health is an important issue in their conservation, and Sarcocystis cruzi may be a cause of clinical disease in Bovidae. Hearts of eight wood bison from Alaska, USA were examined for sarcocysts by histology, transmission electron ...
