Comparative growth performance of camel calves kept under station and farmer's conditions
Revue d’Elevage et de Médecine Vétérinaire des Pays Tropicaux, 2000 A six-month study was undertaken on 14 camel calves aged 7 days to observe their growth performance. Five calves belonged to the Barani Production Research Institute (BLPRI), Pakistan, while the farmers living near BLPRI owned the rest.

Calf health and performance during receiving is not changed by fence-line preconditioning on flint hills range vs. drylot preconditioning [PDF]
, 2013 Ranch-of-origin preconditioning can improve the welfare and performance of beef calves by decreasing the stress associated with weaning, transport, diet change, and commingling with other calves.

BLOC: Buildable and Linkable Organ on a Chip
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We developed a “Buildable and Linkable Organ on a Chip” (BLOC) that can construct diverse microphysiological systems (MPSs). The BLOC is standardized to the same size and has one of the functions of “Culture,” “Control,” or “Analysis.” Users can freely configure various MPSs, including developing perfusion, cytotoxicity analysis, and biochemical ...

Gait development in African elephant calves [PDF]
, 2018 Most descriptions of elephant locomotion recognize only one gait: the lateral sequence walk. In contrast, several studies on African elephants (Loxodonta africana) have indicated that elephants use at least two other gaits: an amble and a trot.

PRECONDITIONING BEEF CALVES: ARE EXPECTED PREMIUMS SUFFICIENT TO JUSTIFY THE PRACTICE? [PDF]
The concept of preconditioning calves has been around for a long time, yet adoption of the practice has been slow. Current trends in the beef industry likely will increase interest in preconditioning programs.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A custom shape memory polymer material selection process relates quantitative application criteria (e.g., compression garment yarns) to material characterization information. The selected materials are manufactured into yarn geometries, which expand the design space by creating structural stress‐strain profiles beyond the nominal material stress‐strain
