Effects of lactation stage, parity, beta-lactoglobulin genotype and milk SCC on whey protein composition in Sarda dairy ewes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In 90 Sarda dairy ewes the effects of lactation stage, parity, beta-lactoglobulin genotypes, and somatic cell count (SCC) on the milk content of total protein (TP), casein (CN), whey protein (WP) and its fractions alpha-lactalbumin (ALA), beta ...

Cytoarchitecture and myeloarchitecture of the sheep auditory cortex

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This article describes the cyto‐ and myeloarchitecture of the sheep auditory cortex. It outlines a six‐layered cortical organization, with variations in cellular types and densities. The potential location of the primary auditory cortex is indicated by parvalbumin immunostaining.

Effects of Prepartum Supplementation and Yeast Fermentation Products on the Progesterone‐Modulated Transfer of Passive Immunity in Bos indicus Cows

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inadequate colostrum intake increases risks of calf morbidity and mortality. This study investigated the effects of prepartum and early postpartum supplementation and yeast fermentation products on late‐pregnant Bos indicus cows, and the role of progesterone in mediating passive immunity transfer.

A comparison of Criollo and Suffolk ewes for resistance to Haemonchus contortus during the periparturient period

open access: yesJournal of Applied Animal Research, 2018
Criollo and Suffolk ewes were compared for resistance to an experimental infection with Haemonchus contortus in the periparturient period. Measures on days −28, −14, 0 (lambing date), 14, 28, and 42 were taken on number of eggs per gram of faeces (EPG ...

TEAM‐UP: Mixed‐Methods Data for Understanding Traditional and Modern Contraceptive Use Dynamics in Four Sub‐Saharan African Countries

open access: yesStudies in Family Planning, EarlyView.
Abstract This Data Article describes a novel dataset from the “Re‐Examining Traditional Method Use” (TEAM‐UP) project, which systematically collected data on the measurement of and motivations for use of non‐modern (traditional and folkloric) contraceptive methods and/or modern methods, in four sub‐Saharan African countries: the Democratic Republic of ...

Prediction of the relationship between body weight and body condition score in sheep [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
During the whole production cycle it is important to monitor the energy balance and to quantify body reserve changes of the ewes. This can be done, both in experimental settings and in the field, by estimating the body condition score (BCS) of the ewes ...

Effects of tempol on renal medullary tissue hypoxia in an ovine model of Gram‐negative septic acute kidney injury

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Renal arterial infusion of tempol (RAT) at the onset of Gram‐negative sepsis can prevent sepsis‐induced medullary tissue hypoxia and acute kidney injury (AKI). However, it is not known whether treatment with tempol at a clinically relevant time point of sepsis is similarly effective. Thus, we examined whether tempol can reverse renal medullary
