Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPregnancy Rate and Reproductive Disorders Examination of Inseminated Brahman Cross Cows by Rectal Palpation and UltrasonographyMohamad Ervandi, Muhammad Nur Ihsan, Sri Wahjuningsih, Trinil SusilawatiPregnancy is a condition when a fetus began to develop in the uterus of the cow. Early pregnancy detection becomes important as it would determine the success of breeding management as well as to achieve the best productivity. This study aimed to evaluate and observe the pregnancy rate and reproductive disorders of Brahman Cross (BX) cows and compare the results … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 28 Mar 2020 · 7,783 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Fibrous Diets for Finishing Pigs: Digestibility, Performance and Carcass TraitsBernardo Berenchtein, Adibe Luiz Abdalla, Patrícia Pimentel Santos Riguetto et al.Two experiments were conducted to evaluate digestibility, performance and carcass traits of finishing pigs fed fibrous diets, such as, basal diet (Control treatment) and inclusion of Tifton-85 hay, Soybean hulls or Citrus pulp. Twenty crossbred castrated male pigs, with average body weight of 70.00±1.95 kg, distributed in a randomized block design with four treatments and five repetitions (blocks) were used … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2019 · 7,273 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPro-Inflammatory Cytokine (IL-1β and IL-6) Response in Goats Challenged with Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and its Immunogen Mycolic AcidsFaez Firdaus Jesse Abdullah, Odhah Mohd Naji, Mohd Azmi Mohd Lila et al.The causative agent of Caseous Lymphadenitis (CLA) is Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. A chronic disease of sheep and goats which is mainly characterized by suppurative abscesses in both superficial and visceral lymph nodes. There is paucity of information on the proinflammatory cytokine (IL-1β and IL-6) responses due to C. pseudotuberculosis and Mycolic Acid (MAs) inoculation in goats. Therefore, this study was conducted … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Feb 2017 · 7,790 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Single and Combined Effect of MC4R and GH Genes on Productive Traits of PigsLyubov Getmantseva, Maria Leonova, Aleksander Usatov et al.The aim of our work is to identify the single and combined effect of MC4R and GH polymorphism genes on growth and reproduction traits of pigs. The study was carried out on 204 crossbred F1 females (♀Landrace х ♂Large White) of the Breeding Farm in Russia. The analyzed productive traits were: The number of Days to 100-kg (Days to 100 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 18 Jan 2017 · 8,115 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF MELANOCORTIN-4 RECEPTOR GENE ON GROWTH AND MEAT TRAITS IN PIGS RAISED IN RUSSIAA. Klimenko, A. Usatov, Lyubov Getmantseva et al.The Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R), a G-protein coupled receptor, is implicated in mediating the effect of leptin on food intake and energy balance. A previous candidate gene study reported an association between an MC4R polymorphism (Asp298Asn) and growth and meat productive traits of pigs. The aim of this work was to determine frequencies of the MC4R/Taq I genotypes and alleles in … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 11 Feb 2014 · 7,608 accessesView PDF Cite
