Essential Oils (EO) are complex mixtures of plant secondary metabolites that have been proposed as promising feed additives for mitigating methane and ammonia emissions. We previously demonstrated Oil-Cobalt (EOC) supplementation resulted in increased average daily gain improved phenotypes (cashmere fiber traits, carcass weight, meat quality) when cashmere goats received at approximately 2 mg/kg body weight. However, the ruminal microbiological effects EO remain poorly understood with regard...
With the increased demand for safe and sustainable alternatives to growth promoting antibiotics in livestock industry, oregano essential oils (OEO) Lactobacillus reuteri (LR) have been examined as promotion improve animal health performance. However, mechanism underlying OEO LR mediation of sheep remains unknown. In this study, 16S rRNA gene sequencing untargeted metabolomics were used determine role gut microbiota improvements observed. The potential modulating roles intestinal microbial...
Clinical endometritis (CE) is a major cause in affecting the reproductive performance of dairy cows. The objectives this study were to ascertain prevalence CE and evaluate effect on cows using vaginal discharge score (VDS) grading system. 803 examined by vaginoscope with 4-point VDS at 26 ± 3 days milk (DIM) classified into six groups: non-endometritis 0 (control; CON), 1 (MEM), non-treated 2 (NTME), treated (TME), (NTPE), (TPE). Cows TME TPE groups 200 mL 50% dextrose solution intrauterine...
We investigated the incidence of posttraumatic stress disorder among 2,448 middle-school students in Sichuan Province, China, soon after Wenchuan earthquake occurred on May 12, 2008. also tested reliability and validity a Chinese version Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist – Civilian Version (Weathers, Litz, Huska, & Keane, 1994) with this group. PTSD more frequently females compared males, those exposed directly, indirectly, or not at all to earthquake, highest was group directly....
