Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerformance of Pre-Weaned Dairy Calves under Hot Arid Environment: Effects of Immunoglobulins and Age on Diseases and MortalityM. A. Razzaque, T. Al-Mutawa, S. Abbas, M. BedairProblem statement: A high mortality rate (crude mortality 43.6%) of pre-weaned dairy calves resulted in unavailability of replacement heifers in Kuwait. Dairy producers resorted to import pregnant heifers for herd replacement. This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of dam vaccination and age, serum Immunoglobulin (Ig) on disease syndromes and mortality in pre-weaned calves. Approach: Late pregnant Holstein Friesian … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2009 · 7,555 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Study of Morphological Structure, Phase Structure and Molecular Structure of Collagen-PEO 600K Blends for Tissue Engineering ApplicationN. F. Mohd Nasir, M. G. Raha, N. A. Kadri et al.A new material which is collagen/ poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) blend was developed to determine its possibility as a promising material for tissue scaffold. PEO with average molecular weight of 600,000 and collagen originated from calf skin were dispersed in 0.1 M acetic acid to prepare a concentration of 1 wt% for PEO and 0.15 wt% for collagen. The collagen-PEO600K … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 7,422 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReplacement Heifer Selection in A Beef Cattle HerdAkin Pala, Roger McCrawThe relationship between a heifer's weaning weight and her fertility and weaning weight of her calves was studied. Also investigated was the effect of dam amount of fat (DAF=dam weaning weight/weaning height) on heifers' ability to breed and rebreed. This is similar to Body Mass Index (BMI) calculated for humans. The relationship of dam's average daily gain from birth to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,814 accessesView PDF Cite
