Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleWeight Gain, Conditioning and Metabolic Syndrome: A Sled Dog ModelAline Collin, Shannon Jimmie, Arleigh Reynolds et al.Type II Diabetes (T2D) and insulin resistance are growing national health concerns. Obesity is a risk factor for developing T2D and is associated with chronic and systemic inflammation. Exercise on the other hand has been shown to improve glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity. We investigated the effects of conditioning and weight gain on adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor and glycosylated hemoglobin, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 18 Aug 2019 · 7,728 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleFeeding by Logistic Feed (Mash, Silage, Pellet and Wafer) Compared with Conventional Feed on Physiological, Blood Biochemical and Body Weight Gain Recovery in Tropical Sheep Pasca TransportationYuli Retnani, Anuraga Jayanegara, Sazli Tutur Risyahadi et al.The process of transportation of animals from one to another area can lead to stress. Animals tend to reduce feed intake which then affects animal performance, so palatable feed is needed, with high energy content, and can speed up the body weight recovery process. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of logistic feed (mash, silage, pellet, and wafer) compared … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2022 · 6,222 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mannan-Oligosaccharides on Daily Weight Gain and Health of Pre-Weaned Holstein Calves in ChilePedro Melendez, Pablo Pinedo, Maria Paz Marin, Angelica AriasThe objective was to compare the effect of S. cerevisiae and mannan-oligosaccharides on Average Daily Gain (ADG), live weight and health of dairy calves in Chile. Calves were weighed at birth and randomly assigned to 3 groups: (i) Yeast (YS): 5 g/calf/day of a live yeast (n = 25); (ii) Mannan (MN): 3 g/calf/day of mannan-oligosaccharides (n = 25); (iii) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 1 Feb 2018 · 8,073 accessesView PDF Cite
