Influence of hormonal treatments on progesterone levels to enhance embryo survival and kidding rates in goats.

Objective: This study investigated the efficiency of different estrous synchronization programs and hormonal treatments in improving reproductive outcomes in goats. Conducted on a commercial farm in southern Thailand, the study used multiparous Shami and Anglo-Nubian breed goats.

Methods: In experiment 1, goats were randomly allocated to two estrous synchronization treatments: 11-day (CI11D) and 13-day (CI13D) intravaginal progesterone implants, followed by artificial insemination (AI) with frozen-thawed semen.

Multi-locus sequence analysis of Anaplasma bovis in goats and ticks from Thailand, with the initial identification of an uncultured Anaplasma species closely related to Anaplasma phagocytophilum-like 1.

Ticks and tick-borne pathogens (TTBP) pose a serious threat to animal and human health globally. Anaplasma bovis, an obligatory intracellular bacterium, is one of the more recent species of the Family Anaplasmaceae to be formally described. Owing to its diminutive size, microscopic detection presents a formidable challenge, leading to it being overlooked in laboratory settings lacking advanced equipment or resources, as observed in various regions, including Thailand.

Effects of water-soluble curcuminoid-rich extract in a solid dispersion form (CRE-SD) on the sperm characteristics, longevity and casein kinase II catalytic subunit alpha protein stability in chilled goat semen.

The present study evaluated the effects of water-soluble curcuminoid-rich extract in a solid dispersion form (CRE-SD) on goat sperm qualities and sperm protein CSNK2A2 expression during liquid storage. Semen was collected from five fertile goats, using an artificial vagina. Ejaculates with a motility above 70% were cooled to 4 °C using TRIS-citric acid-fructose diluent with 10% egg yolk containing various concentrations of CRE-SD (0, 0.

Improving the quality of barbecued culled-dairy-goat meat by marination with plant juices and sodium bicarbonate.

Meat from dairy goats is less tender than that from meat goats since generally they are of an older age when culled. The objective of this study was to improve the quality of barbecued culled-dairy-goat by using juices (ginger and pineapple) and sodium bicarbonate (SB). The optimum time (30, 60, 90 min) for marinating the goat meat with ginger and pineapple juices was evaluated.

Carcass Characteristics and Meat Quality of Betong Chicken Fed with Diets Supplemented with Crude Glycerin.

Experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of crude glycerin inclusion in the diets of Betong chicken on the characteristics of their carcasses, internal organs, meat quality, lipid oxidation, and fatty acid profiles. One hundred 1-day-old chicks were raised for 8 weeks. Subsequently, the birds were sexed based on their morphological features, and weighed.
