An abattoir survey of gastrointestinal helminth parasites in cattle, sheep and goats in Mali (West Africa)
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)An investigation of helminth parasites in cattle, sheep and goats was carried out at eight abattoirs in various regions of Mali between August 1983 and 1984. Fecal and viscera examinations from 698 cattle, 152 sheep and ... -
Bacteriologic, ecologic, serologic, and immunogenetic studies of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis-induced caseous lymphadenitis in small ruminants
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis-induced caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) is an economically important chronic disease of small ruminants characterized by abscessation of either or both lymph nodes or visceral organs. The ... -
Caseous lymphadenitis in small ruminants : clinical, pathological, and immunological responses to Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis and to fractions and toxins from the microorganism
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is the etiologic agent of caseous lymphadenitis, a chronic, debilitating disease of small ruminants characterized by suppurative infection of either or both lymph nodes and visceral organs. ... -
Characteristics and effects of ruminal proteolysis on ruminant nutrition
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)To determine if amino acids are released equally during ruminal protein degradation, 4 hr ruminal in vitro degradation was determined on 10 proteins. Correcting for recovery of each amino acid, net release of 12 amino acids ... -
Comparative histological study of ruminant placentomes
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Histological structures of placentomes and cotyledons were studied in eight antelope species (Uganda kob, common duiker, common eland, greater kudu, wildebeest, sable antelope, steenbok, impala) and domestic cattle. A few ... -
Factors affecting intake and digestion of forages by cattle
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)An experiment was conducted to measure voluntary intake, nitrogen flow and digestibility of fiber and nitrogen fractions in the gastric (G), small intestines (I) and hindgut (H) digestive segments of crossbred yearling ... -
The flow of feed residues through the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)The results of three different experiments involving different aspects of digesta flow in ruminants are presented in five chapters. In experiment one, increasing level of either rice hulls or ground hay from 0 to 30% in a ... -
Ruminant Methanogenic Activity in the United States Beef Cattle Industry
(2016-05-24)In the U.S., gastrointestinal fermentation from cattle is estimated to account for approximately 25% of total anthropogenic related methane (CH4) emissions. In addition, 2-8% of gross energy consumed by cattle is lost in ... -
Toxicity of Radiant Color Powder® in ruminants
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)The toxicity of Radiant Color Powder®, a commercial fluorescent powder containing 1% 7-diethylamino-4-methyl coumarin and 8.5% 4-methyl benzene sulfonamide, was tested in sheep with single oral dosage levels of 0, 1, 2, ... -
Use of active immunization against somatostatin in the manipulation of the ruminant endocrine system
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Three experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of active immunization against somatostatin (SS) on, 1) the lactational performance of ruminants, 2) growth hormone (GH) secretion and metabolism and 3) the ...
