Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleDNA Polymorphism of Bovine Pituitary-Specific Transcription Factor and Leptin Gene Between Iranian Bos indicus and Bos taurus CattleArash Javanmard, Nader Asadzadeh, Fatollah SarhadiProblem statement: Variations at DNA level contribute to the genetic characterization of livestock populations and this may help to identify possible hybridization events as well as past evolutionary trends. Approach: The leptin and Pit-1 are attractive candidate genes for production and reproduction traits in cattle. A total of 247 Animals from four breeds from two species of Iranian cattle populations … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,028 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTesticular Development in Holstein, F1 Crossbred Holstein-Gyr, Gyr, and Nellore Bulls During Puberty and Sexual Maturity in Tropical ConditionsGustavo Eduardo Freneau, Jose Domingos Guimaraes, Vicente Ribeiro Vale Filho, Arnhold EmmanuelContext: Puberty and sexual maturity are very important economic aspects in the beef industry and bull production. The aim of this study was to characterize and determine the sexual development of Bos taurus, Bos indicus, and F1 crossbreeds of these two subspecies of bulls and their testicular growth and shape. We observed the evolution of testicular development characteristics and seminal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2026 · 1,204 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Cooled Bull Semen as a Strategy to Increase the Prenancy Rate in Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination Prgrams-Case ReportAndre Maciel Crespilho, Frederico Ozanam Papa, Marcos de Paula Santos, Manoel Francisco de Sa FilhoSemen cryopreservation is still considered suboptimal due to lower fertility when compared to fresh semen. The reasons for the loss of fertility are various and related to irreversible damage caused to the cells during the freeze-thaw process. An alternative to conventional cryopreservation represents the use of chilled bull semen, preventing the damage associated with freezing, thereby guaranteeing greater sperm viability. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 2 Feb 2013 · 8,684 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFatty Acid Content of Bovine Milkfat From Raw Milk to YoghurtO. O. Santos Júnior, M. R. Pedrão, L. F. Dias et al.Problem statement: The present study aimed to study the evolution of fatty acid content, focusing on rumenic acid content, from raw milk to yoghurt processed from this milk. Approach: Milk samples were collected in a dairy plant in the northwest of Paraná State weekly in January 2011 (Brazilian summer). It processed one truck load of 26,000 L of refrigerated type-C … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 8 · 7 Jul 2012 · 7,886 accessesView PDF Cite
