Asian Journal of Surgery, 2023 Mass closure with a continuous suture using large bite stitching technique has been widely accepted for midline laparotomy wound closures. However, emerging evidence suggests the use of small bite technique to reduce rates of incisional ventral hernia ...

Bite Injuries among Vaccination Staff Participating in a Mass Canine Rabies Vaccination Campaign, Haiti 2016–2017 [PDF]
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2021 ABSTRACT. Elimination of dog-transmitted human rabies worldwide will require large-scale dog vaccination campaigns. However, this places participating vaccinators at increased risk. Data from the 2016–2017 Haitian mass rabies vaccination campaign was analyzed to determine dog bite incidence among vaccinators.

Heterogeneity in reproductive success explained by individual differences in bite rate and mass change [PDF]
Behavioral Ecology, 2015 Allocation of resources to current reproduction may reduce future reproduction, growth, and survival, but individual heterogeneity in resource acquisition may obscure this fitness cost. In capital breeders, heterogeneity in reproductive success is often related to body mass or condition, underlining the importance of stored reserves for reproduction ...

Ingestive behaviour of grazing ruminants: meta-analysis of the components linking bite mass to daily intake [PDF]
Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2019 Abstract This meta-analysis shed light on the quantitative adaptive responses of feeding behaviour of Cattle (C) and Small Ruminants (SR), facing variations of sward characteristics, notably of sward height (SH, 18. 7 ± 13.9 cm) and herbage bulk density (HBD, 1.73 ± 1.30 kg DM / m 3

Effect of Postnatal Myostatin Inhibition on Bite Mechanics in Mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 As a negative regulator of muscle size, myostatin (Mstn) impacts the force-production capabilities of skeletal muscles. In the masticatory system, measures of temporalis-stimulated bite forces in constitutive myostatin KOs suggest an absolute, but not ...

Chewing performance and bite force in children
Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences, 2015 The aim was to correlate the chewing performance and maximum bite force in children, considering the morphologic characteristics of occlusion and body mass index (BMI). Thirty-six children participated (19 girls and 17 boys, mean age 9.06 years).

Use of a micro-sward technique for determining bite mass of four grass species in short-term tests
Euphytica, 2009 Four grass species typically found in semi-natural pastures in the UK were sown individually in boxes (85 × 44 × 14 cm) to create micro-swards. Yorkshire fog (Holcus lanatus L.); creeping bent (Agrostis stolonifera L. cv Kromi); rough meadow-grass (Poa trivialis L.); and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L. cv Glen) were offered to yearling Simmental ×

Effect of forage type on swallowed bolus mass and a method for counting swallows in dairy cattle
Journal of Dairy Science, 2023 : Dry matter intake (DMI) is a primary determinant of milk production in grazing dairy cows and an ability to measure the DMI of individual cows would allow herd managers to formulate supplementary rations that consider the amount of nutrients ingested ...

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2022 AbstractKnowledge about individual daily herbage dry matter (DM) intake (DMI) helps identifying efficient dairy cows and adapting supplementation better to herbage intake and nutrient requirements of grazing dairy cows. With the aid of behavioural characteristics, raw data recorded with the RumiWatch (RW) system and processed with the RW converter 0.7 ...
