Initial research indicates dairy goats used to clear poison oak do not transfer toxicant to milk

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1992
Dairy goats that eat poison oak do not transfer detectible amounts of the toxic principle, urushiol, to the milk or to the urine. Furthermore, this oily, toxic irritant is found in goat manure at less than 9% of its concentration in ...

Genomic variations associated with attenuation in Mycobacterium avium subsp paratuberculosis vaccine strains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) whole cell vaccines have been widely used tools in the control of Johne's disease in animals despite being unable to provide complete protection. Current vaccine strains derive from stocks

Trends in Dairy Goats

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science, 1980
Gain in importance of the dairy goat industry of the United States from 1960 to 1978 is evidenced by increases in membership of goat associations (482 to 10,680), official shows (72 to 653), and herds on official test (none to 1611). Number of registered dairy goats increased from 3,611 in 1955 to 32,459 in 1976.

Overview of Encapsulated Lysine and Methionine and Their Impacts on Transition Cow Performance and Health

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The transition period in dairy cows, spanning 3 weeks before and after calving, is a critical phase characterized by increased nutrient demands, reduced dry matter intake (DMI), and elevated risk of metabolic disorders such as negative nutrient balance (NNB), lipolysis, proteolysis, and oxidative stress.

Fat addition in the diet of dairy ruminants and its effects on productive parameters

open access: yesRevista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2013
This review analyzes the current knowledge on the effects of fat supplementation in dairy ruminant diets. Research conducted on dairy cows and goats shows that dry matter intake decreases when diets contain extra fat due to a negative effect on ...

Determination of microbiological characteristics in the digestive tract of different ruminant species

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, 2019
Holstein dairy cows, Chinese Luxi Yellow cattle, Chinese Laoshan dairy goats, and Chinese Bohai Black cattle were selected for the study. The 16S rDNA sequencing technique was used to analyze the microflora in the digestive tract. The rumen flora in high

Genotype effects on energy and protein requirements in growing male goats

open access: yesAnimal, 2020
Goat genotype may alter the net energy and protein requirements for maintenance (NEm and NPm, respectively) and weight gain (NEg and NPg).This study was designed to investigate and quantify the effect of goat type on NEm, NPm, NEg and NPg, and quantify ...

Kinetics of fat and protein secretion in dairy cattle, sheep, goats and buffaloes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The negative correlations of fat and protein concentrations and milk yield, existing in all ruminants dairy species (Oftedal, 1984; Mepham, 1987), reflect a deep mechanism regulating the respective kinetics of secretion of carrier (mainly lactose which ...

Dietary Mannan‐Rich Fractions Attenuate Weaning Stress in Piglets via Modulating Gut Microbiota and TLR5/NF‐κB Signaling

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the potential of a mannan‐rich fraction (MRF) as a dietary intervention to alleviate weaning stress in piglets. Our results revealed that MRF could alleviate weaning stress by modulating the gut microbiota and the TLR5/NF‐κB signaling pathway, offering a novel and sustainable alternative to antibiotic use in swine ...
