Correlation between L-Lactate Concentrations in Beef Cattle, Obtained Using a Hand-Held Lactate Analyzer and a Lactate Assay Colorimetric Kit
(MDPI, 2021-03-25)
Lactate is a product of anaerobic glycolysis, used in animal research as an indicator of muscle fatigue. Therefore, it has been used as an indicator of cattle response to long distance transportation. ...
Short communication: A milk replacer aversion model in calves to test flavour-masking effects
(Elsevier, 2022-01-18)
This study aimed to evaluate the availability of two sensory additives (SAs) to masque non-palatable ingredients commonly present in milk replacers (MRs). Both SAs were based on a synergistic mixture ...
A Meta-analysis Describing the Effects of the Essential oils Blend Agolin Ruminant on Performance, Rumen Fermentation and Methane Emissions in Dairy Cows
(MDPI, 2020-04-03)
There is an increasing pressure to identify feed additives which increase productivity or decrease methane emissions. This paper aims to elucidate the effects of supplementing a specific essential oils ...
Effect of a single subcutaneous injection of meloxicam on chronic indicators of pain and inflammatory responses in 2-month-old knife and band-castrated beef calves housed on pasture
(Elsevier, 2020-10-19)
One hundred and thirty-one 2 mo. old pasture housed Angus cross bull calves were evaluated for 62 d over two years (Year 1: n = 69, 134.1 ± 20.37 kg BW; Year 2: n = 62, 118.1 ± 15.49 kg BW) to determine ...
Feeding pasteurized waste milk to preweaned dairy calves changes fecal and upper respiratory tract microbiota
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06-06)
In the present study bacterial communities from both, the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract of pre-weaned dairy calves fed two different milk-feeding programs were characterized using 16S rRNA gene ...
CXCR4+-targeted protein nanoparticles produced in the food-grade bacterium Lactococcus lactis
(Future Science Group, 2016-08-16)
Aim: Lactococcus lactis is a Gram-positive (endotoxin-free) food-grade bacteria exploited as alternative to Escherichia coli for recombinant protein production. We have explored here for the first time ...
A prospective longitudinal study of risk factors associated with cattle lameness in southern Alberta feedlots
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2021-03-15)
The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence proportion of lameness in feedlot cattle and the associated risk factors. Lameness was studied in two southern Alberta feedlots over a 2 yr ...
Aggregation-prone peptides modulate activity of bovine interferon gamma released from naturally occurring protein nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2020-02-03)
Efficient protocols for the production of recombinant proteins are indispensable for the development of the biopharmaceutical sector. Accumulation of recombinant proteins in naturally-occurring protein ...
Effects of exogenous glucoamylase enzymes alone or in combination with a neutral protease on apparent total tract digestibility and feces D-Lactate in crossbred angus bulls fed a ration rich in rolled corn
(MDPI, 2020-06-23)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two glucoamylases (GA) and the
combination of one GA with a neutral protease on apparent total tract digestibility in beef bulls fed a
total mixed ...
Prediction of tissue composition of live dairy calves and carcasses by computed tomography
(Elsevier, 2020-12-13)
Computed tomography (CT) is a non-destructive technique, based on X-rays, that has been used in several livestock species to evaluate carcass composition. The objective of this study was to construct ...
