Incorporation of [14C]acetate into lipids was measured in 24 hr co-cultures of mammary, liver and adipose tissue from Holstein cows at 53, 210 and 318 d of lactation in the presence or absence of bovine growth hormone. Little (less than 1%) of the labeled lipids appeared in the media relative to that incorporated into the tissue. In mammary tissue, incorporation of [14C]acetate was highest into triglycerides (16,298 cpm/mg mammary tissue), followed by phospholipids (1,887 cpm), free fatty acids (1,252 cpm), diglycerides (708 cpm), free cholesterol (360 cpm) and monoglycerides (93 cpm). Bovine growth hormone did not increase incorporation of [14C]acetate when mammary or adipose tissue were incubated separately. However, in the presence of liver and adipose tissue, bovine growth hormone significantly increased the incorporation of [14C]acetate into triglycerides, diglycerides, free fatty acids and free cholesterol by mammary tissue. These results suggest that bovine growth hormone acts on mammary tissue indirectly through liver and adipose tissue to increase lipid synthesis. This mechanism may play a role in the action of bovine growth hormone in vivo to increase milk and milk fat production.

Two experiments evaluated the effects of an injectable trace mineral (ITM) solution at weaning on trace mineral (TM) status, inflammatory and antioxidant responses, grazing behavior, response to vaccination, and growth of beef calves. Experiment 1 used 86 Nellore calves (40 females and 46 males; body weight [BW] = 198 ± 30.8 kg; 8 ± 1 mo of age) weaned (day 0) and assigned into one of two treatments: saline (0.

The principal constituent of liquorice root () is glycyrrhizin, a triterpene saponin that is approximately many times sweeter than sucrose, the main active component. This study aimed to investigate the dietary liquorice root powder (LRP) on production performance, serum biochemical, gut health and carcass characteristics of Kadaknath (KN) birds as replacement of antibiotic growth promoter. Day-old Kadaknath chicks (n = 240) with uniform body weight were selected randomly and divided into six different treatments, each one with five replicates and eight birds per replicate, and raised in battery brooder cages for 15 weeks.

Prebiotics are important for gut health and immunity in animals and could promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. The objective of this study was to investigate the prebiotic potential of lactobin and glucans when combined with goat's milk in the diet of cats. Twenty-four healthy cats (all about 2 y old) were randomly assigned to 4 treatment groups.

A 68-year-old male developed foreign body sensation in both eyes, photophobia and tearing in the right eye approximately 6 weeks after initiating dupilumab for severe atopic dermatitis. The right eye presented a crescent-shaped superficial-stromal ulcer in the peripheral cornea with an undermined edge, which was separated from the limbus of the cornea by a clear zone. The left eye had a pannus at the limbus of the cornea.

Increasing attention has focused on health outcomes of Campylobacter infections among children younger than 5 years in low-resource settings. Recent evidence suggests that colonization by Campylobacter species contributes to environmental enteric dysfunction, malnutrition, and growth faltering in young children. Campylobacter species are zoonotic, and factors from humans, animals, and the environment are involved in transmission.
