Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Rumen Fermentability of the Pelleted Feed Containing Water Spinach (Ipomoea aquatica)Himmatul Hasanah, Eko Pangestu, Ali Agus, Joelal AchmadiAn in vitro technique based on two stages of batch culture was used to clarify fermentability and digestibility of pellet feed containing water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica). The portion of Pennisetum purpureum in the pellet feed was substituted with Ipomoea aquatica at respective levels of 0% (T1), 20% (T2), 40% (T3) and 60% (T4). The treatments were allocated in a completely … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 27 Mar 2020 · 7,559 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Ultrasound Processing and Exogenous Cellulase Supplementation on the Ruminal Degradability of Palm Date SeedsAhmed Aboragah, Mohammed G. Embaby, Mevlüt Günal, Amer A. AbuGhazalehThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sonication and enzyme supplements on rumen degradability of date palm seeds (DPS). The effect of alkali-assisted sonication and the addition of cellulase enzyme supplements (40 endoglucanase units/g dry matter) derived from Aspergillus niger or Trichoderma longibrachiatum on DPS ruminal degradability were evaluated under in vitro conditions. The in vitro … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2019 · 7,419 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEpidemiology and Economic Impact Assessment of Caprine Brucellosis in Penang State, Malaysia: A Retrospective AnalysisMuhammad Azri Ahmad Zaki, Abdinasir Yusuf Osman, Muhammad Luqman Nordin et al.Brucella melitensis is a zoonotic pathogen affecting a wide range of hosts with economic significance in the animal industry worldwide. The disease is characterized by abortion, still birth, reduced milk production, weak foetus and infertility mainly in small ruminant populations. There is a wide distribution of the disease among domesticated species and the trends of the disease in goats have … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2018 · 8,191 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLivestock Hydatid Disease (Cystic Hydatidosis) in Libya: A ReviewMohamed M. Ibrahem, Wafa M. Ibrahem, Mostafa M. Abdorrahem, Kawther M. IbrahemCystic hydatid disease is an infection caused by the larval stage of a cestode parasite called Echinococcus granulosus. Hydatid cysts are one of the major parasitic infections in Libya that causes many health problems to human and responsible for economic losses because of the condemnation of the slaughtered animals infected viscera as well as reducing the quality and quantity of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 31 May 2016 · 8,472 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA BIOPHYSIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF SETTLED LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY HOUSING DUSTSCarresse Gerald, Christi McPherson, Tha’Mes McDaniel et al.The levels and composition of agricultural dusts are influenced by animal species, production strategy, housing type and ventilation efficiency. Agricultural dust within animal houses is complex and consists of feed particles, microbes and their products, dander, fecal matter, gases, metals and other organic and inorganic components. Livestock and poultry production facilities may be categorized as confinement, semi-confinement or pasture-based. Characterization … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 16 Jan 2014 · 8,080 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Cytometry Baseline on Peripheral Leukocyte Cell Profiles for Dairy Goat KidsDarcy M. Fletcher, Megan B. Vogt, Hannah E. Pirner et al.Small ruminants, like goats, would make excellent animal models for not only infectious diseases in large ruminants but also analogous diseases in humans, such as human tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, melioidosis and brucellosis. The main disadvantage for the small ruminant model is the lack of sufficient baseline data on normal, healthy goat kids. Furthermore, most reagents (antibodies and the like) were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2013 · 7,572 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlasma Fatty Acid Profile of Gestating Ewes Supplemented with FishmealMamun M. Or-Rashid, Rebecca Fisher, Niel Karrow et al.Problem statement: The very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (>18C) cannot be adequately synthesized by ruminant tissues to meet their requirements; therefore, their concentration in body depends on the supply through feed. It may be possible to improve the essential fatty acid status of ruminant animals, during gestation by manipulating the maternal diet with Fishmeal (FM). The objectives of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Heat or Heat-Xylose Processing on Nitrogen Fractions and in Situ/In Vitro Ruminal and Post-Ruminal Protein Disappearance of Guar MealHossein Jahani-Azizabadi, Mohsen Danesh Mesgaran, Ali Reza Vakili et al.Problem statement: Guar meal is a by-product consisting of hull and germ and is mostly used as a protein source in poultry and ruminant rations. The aim was to determine the effect of heat or heat-xylose processing on nitrogen fractions, in situ ruminal degradation parameters and in situ/in vitro ruminal and post-ruminal disappearance of guar meal. Approach: Samples were intact … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2010 · 8,153 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Replacement of Soybean meal by Dried Tomato Pomace on Rumen Fermentation and Nitrogen Metabolism in Beef CattleC. Yuangklang, K. Vasupen, S. Wongsuthavas et al.Problem statement: Dried tomato pomace may be considered as an alternative feedstuff in ruminant nutrition. The limited literature data that are available so far may be interpreted as indirect and suggestive evidence for diminished ruminal fermentation and bacterial synthesis after substitution of dried tomato pomace for soybean meal. Approach: Rumen-fistulated beef steers were used to address the questions whether the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,867 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHistological Study of Cervix Uteri in Caspian Miniature HorseM. Rezaian, S. HamediProblem statement: Uterine cervix which separates the uterus from the vagina, shows remarkable anatomical and histological differences among mammalian species. Since no cleared observations have been found in regards with the Caspian miniature horses’ cervix, the aim of the present study was to supplement this missing information which could be helpful for providing a stricter basis in detecting reproductive diseases … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,670 accessesView PDFCite
