Abstract

Under the conditions of a specialized farm equipped with amodern technology or rearing, sixteen ewe lambs of the Improved Wallachian breed were studied for the dynamics of acid-base indices in the blood from the seventh day of post-natal life unitl the age of 19 months. The acid-base parameters were measured by the Astrup BMS 2 apparatus. After weaning at an age of 45 days, the lambs were fed mixture COJ 1 for ten days, then mixture COJ 2, followed by the administration of a VJ mixture and granular feed in a 1 : 1 ratio. The mentioned feeds were given to the lambs ad libitum. At the beginning of July the animals were driven to pasture where they were kept with no supplementary feeding. In the winter season they were kept indoors and were fed briquettes of forage at a ration of 2.3 kg per head per day. In the second year of age the sheep were driven to pasture in early. May. Throughout the period of study, the values of actual pH in the blood ranged ranged from 7.29 to 7.39 and pCO2 from 4.33 to 6.25 kPa, on an average; BE ranged from -8.2 to -1.8 mmol 1(-1), BB from 35.7 to 49.3 mmol 1(-1), and SB had limiting means of 18.0 and 22.7 mmol 1(-1), AB 16.7 and 23.5 mmol 1(-1), and tCO2 ranged from 17.7 to 24.8 mmol 1(-1), on an ave...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
