Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Different Freezing Curves on the Acrosome Integrity of Male Goat Sperm CellsSofia Alexandra Fagundes Lopes, Henrique José Duarte Rosa, António Chaveiro, Fernando Moreira da SilvaThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three different freezing curves on male goat’s sperm viability and acrosome integrity. Semen was collected on three adult male goats in February (Azores, Portugal, latitude 38°39′N) using an artificial vagina and a female with induced heat. Three collection sessions were spaced of approximately 5 days. The study followed … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 19 Feb 2021 · 6,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWinter Forage Program Benefitted Small-Scale Goat ProducersUma Karki, Lila Bahadur KarkiSmall and limited resource farmers are raising goats on pastures in the southeast USA. Nevertheless, many of these farms do not have productive and quality pastures to support the nutrient requirements of their animals. Information on forages that are suitable to improve goat pastures and sustainably grazing those pastures with goats is still lacking. Study objectives were to (1) find … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 13 Jun 2017 · 8,354 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Polymorphisms at Heat Shock Protein 90 Gene by High Resolution Melting Assays for Potential Heat Tolerance among Nigerian Zebu Cattle BreedsGbolabo Onasanya, George Msalya, Aranganoor Thiruvenkadan et al.Heat Shock Protein (HSP) 90 gene is a member of HSPs sub-family that act as molecular chaperons whenever animals come under thermal stress. The genes fulfill essential roles of providing cellular protection, immune response, protein synthesis, protein folding and unfolding, protection from cellular stress, inhibitory apoptosis and adaptation. This study was designed to analyze polymorphisms of HSP 90 and to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 7 Mar 2020 · 7,264 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy on Sero-Prevalence of Small Ruminant and Human Brucellosis in Yabello and Dire Districts of Borena Zone Oromia Regional State, EthiopiaWubishet ZewdieCross-sectional study was conducted in Yabello and Dire districts of Borena zone Oromia regional state, Ethiopia to estimate sero-prevalence of small ruminant and human Brucellosis. Sero-survey was applied to the target population of 228 small ruminants and 86 humans. The sera samples were collected from small ruminants (sheep and goats) and humans for serological analysis of brucellosis. Samples were serially … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 21 Jan 2020 · 7,989 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of a Mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) Based Probiotic on Goat HealthKingsley Ekwemalor, Emmanuel Asiamah, Sarah Adjei-Fremah, Mulumebet WorkuMaintenance of an adequate immune response is essential to goat health. CorPet biomass is a mushroom (Coriolus versicolor) based probiotic used as an immune-stimulant in man, horses and small animals. Fifteen BoerXSpanish goats were used in a crossover design to evaluate the effect of a commercial mushroom based probiotic across two periods on resilience of goats to gastrointestinal parasites in … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 4 Oct 2016 · 7,925 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDETECTION OF PROSAPOSIN AND MATURE SAPOSINS IN GOAT MILKAndrea Robertson Byers, Salam Ibrahim, Mulumebet WorkuIncreased scientific knowledge related to the nutritional, functional and biological activities and health benefits of goat milk is needed to further promote goat farming, goat milk and traditional or innovative neutraceuticals as a basis for socio-economic benefit. Identification and characterization of milk derived Prosaposin is essential to development of neutraceuticals from goat milk that maybe beneficial to human health. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 11 Nov 2014 · 6,997 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 · 7,576 accessesView PDFCite
