Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIncrease in Crude Protein Content of Milk Replacers with Vegetable Protein: Effect on Health and Dairy Calves' PerformanceEvangelina Miqueo, Thais Manzoni Torrezan, Nathalia Britto Rocha et al.The use of milk replacer instead of whole milk may be an economical alternative to calf-rearing systems. However, together with the volume fed, its composition is critical for high performance, especially regarding the origin of the protein. Two milk replacers with different protein content were evaluated to see the effect on the performance of calves. Thirty-three Holstein calves were distributed … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 6 Feb 2017 · 7,779 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Complete Feed Silage Made from Agricultural Waste on Milk Yield and Quality of Dairy CowsAmbo Ako, Syahdar Baba, Fatma et al.The problem facing dairy cow producers in tropical area is the low availability of proper nutrition, especially during the dry season. One solution to overcome this problem is to utilize technology of Complete Feed (CF) silage using ensiled several local abundant ingredients from agricultural wastes. This study aimed to find a formulation of CF silage from agricultural wastes as forage … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 17 Nov 2016 · 7,508 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPathologies of Acute Interstitial Pneumonia in Feedlot CattleJose A. Valles, Michael D. Apley, Chris D. Reinhardt et al.Acute Interstitial Pneumonia (AIP) is a costly issue that affects feedlot cattle. Research has yet to elucidate the etiology of AIP; therefore a case-control study was conducted to evaluate possible management and physiological factors that contribute to AIP in feedlot cattle. The experiment was conducted during the summer of 2011 in a commercial feedyard in Kansas. Animals exhibiting clinical signs … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2016 · 7,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDo Cows Under Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) Attempt to Self-Medicate?Erin Hendriksen, Ousama AlZahal, Tom C. Wright et al.The objective of this study was to examine feed-sorting behavior of dairy cows in response to a grain challenge that leads to Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA). Sixteen multiparous, rumen-cannulated lactating Holstein cows were used. During the first 49 days of the experiment, all cows received a High-Forage diet (HF; 77:23, F: C; NFC=35). Cows were then transitioned to a High-Grain … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 2 Sep 2015 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStandardized Ileal Digestible Lysine Requirement of 6- to 10-kg Weanling PigsChan Sol Park, Beob Gyun KimThe objective of the experiment was to determine the Standardized Ileal Digestible (SID) lysine requirement for weanling pigs from 6 to 10 kg of Body Weight (BW). A total of 216 weanling pigs with an initial BW of 6.23±0.93 kg were assigned to six diets in a randomized complete block design with five blocks based on BW. Six corn-dried whey-soybean … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 10 Jun 2015 · 7,548 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSESSMENT OF MIXED MINERALS BY OBSERVING INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL ALTERATIONS IN PIGLETSChamroon Maneewan, Apichai Mekbungwan, Koh-En Yamauchi, Keisuke EdashigeThe experiment was conducted to assess the effect of dietary Mixed Minerals (MM) on intestinal epithelial cell morphology, villus height and area and growth performance in piglets. Thirty two-month-old hybrid piglets (15 kg BW) (Large White × Landrace × Duroc), consisting of 15 castrated males and 15 females, were allocated into three experimental groups with five replicates of one castrated … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 28 Jun 2014 · 7,116 accessesView PDFCite

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 · 7,611 accessesView PDFCite
