Sequence variants associated with resilient responses in growing pigs
Abstract The current work aimed to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated with resilience in pigs. In previous work, we proposed the body weight deviation from the expected growth curve (ΔBW) and the increase of the positive acute‐phase protein haptoglobin (ΔHP) after a vaccine challenge as resilience indicators which may be improved ...

STUDIES ON SERUM MAGNESIUM LEVELS IN GOATS AFFECTED WITH SUB-CLINICAL PARATUBERCULOSIS [PDF]
Serum magnesium levels of eleven goats having sub-clinical paratuberculosis were compared against that of eleven paratuberculosis-free goats. A decrease in the serum magnesium levels of diseased animals was noticed which was statistically not significant.
