Successful artificial breeding underpins rapid genetic and production gains in animal agriculture. In sheep, insemination with frozen semen is performed via intrauterine laparoscopy as frozen-thawed spermatozoa do not traverse the cervix sufficient numbers for high fertility transcervical anatomically impossible most ewes. Historically, laparoscopic has always been considered reasonably successful, but recent anecdotal reports of poor place it at risk warning adoption. Understanding male,...
Artificial insemination (AI) plays a critical role in facilitating rapid genetic and production gains within the sheep industry. However, variable rates of AI success remain concern for industry barrier to adoption. Furthermore, degree which female factors influence intrauterine laparoscopic rather than natural mating remains unknown. As such, this study investigates effect several collected during time AI, on AI. Data was generously donated by artificial breeding companies stud breeders...
The causes of variation in the success laparoscopic artificial insemination (AI) sheep are not well understood. As such, this study incorporated contributions multiple male and female factors relevant to AI into a comprehensive prediction model for pregnancy success. Data from Merino ewes (N = 30 254) including age, uterine tone (1; pale/flaccid-5; turgid/pink), intra-abdominal fat little no present-5; high fat), time sire used, were recorded during AI. A subset semen per 388) was thawed...
The effect of fish oil dietary supplementation on the dyslipidemia and coagulopathy seven patients with nephrotic syndrome hypoalbuminemia due to primary kidney disease was studied. Plasma lipids, platelet aggregation studies, simplate bleeding time, fibrinogen levels were determined before after 6 wk treatment (15 g/day MaxEPA; 2.7 g eicosapentenoic acid (EPA) 1.8 docosahexenoic acid. Urea kinetics from urine-urea concentration, urinary proteina, urine volume. A 3-day intake record obtained...
Interest in the modulation of renal diseases by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) led this group to examine effects borage oil (BO) and corn (CO) rat 5/6-renal-ablation model. BO is a rich source gamma-linolenic acid (GLA; 18:3n-6), which elongated dihomogamma-linolenic (DGLA; 20:3n-6). CO linoleic (LA; 18:2n-6), GLA arachidonic (AA; 20:4n-6) precursor. The purpose study was assess whether an increased DGLA:AA ratio as provided would confer benefits beyond those LA present oil. Forty rats...
