Abdominal radiographs were taken. Radiographic examinations revealed the entire abdominal cavity appeared opaque and no serosal detail could be seen. There appeared to be a small bone in the abdomen. On exploratory abdominal surgery, the entire uterus was found to be brown and necrotic. A mummified fetus and punctured uterus in two locations was discovered. The uterus, ovaries, and as much necrotic omentum as possible were removed. Postpartum complications due to ascites, fetal mummification, and fetal maceration resulted in adhesions of the abdominal and pelvic organs, and metritis.

High lactation performance of the cows requires the continuous presence in the blood of an animal of the substances needed for the milk production. This is provided by organization of quite abundant and continuous feeding of cows and the introduction in the animal rations of various components that allows balancing them in terms of all nutrients and bioactive substances needed by the body. Feeding cows with a complete feed should be carried out during the whole period of their economic use, because it is extremely difficult to correct the metabolic disorders caused by insufficient feeding as well as to get healthy calves in such a situation. In addition, metabolic disorders in the cow and calf due to improper diet increase the risk of developing non-communicable diseases. The primary method of determining the physiological status of dairy cows is body condition score. To determine the fatness of cows, analysis of the dairy herd condition at “Ossetia” livestock farm located in Prigorodny district of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania was carried out. Based on the primary zootechnical documentation, the following parameters were studied: productivity of cows of different lactations, the live weight of cows, fatness of cows, as well as the effect of fatness on milk production. Cow fatness evaluation technique developed by the All-Russian Institute of Animal Husbandry (VIZh) was used. The studies showed that the highest milk yields were observed in cows with fatness score of 3.6-4.0 points and amounted to 4584kg. The cows with the fatness score of 3.6-4.0 points were characterized by the longest duration of economic use. The best economic efficiency was noted in cows with the fatness score of 3.6-4.0 points.","PeriodicalId":403730,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128944726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results revealed that the protein, fat and total solids content of the cheese significantly (P<0.05) increased during storage. Storage temperature significantly (P<0.05) affect the pH, titratable acidity, protein and fat content of cheese. Cheese sample kept at 18±1℃ was significantly (P<0.05) higher in total bacterial count (6.79 log cfu/g), coliform count (7.21 log cfu/g), yeast and mould counts (6.41 log cfu/g) than cheese sample kept at 4±1℃ which is 4.76 log cfu/g, 4.09 log cfu/g and 4.84 log cfu/g of total bacterial count, coliform count and yeast and mould counts, respectively. Firmness of the cheeses were significantly (P<0.05) affected by storage temperature and storage time. The firmness of the cheese sample stored at 4±1°C significantly (P< 0.05) increased from 3.77±0.17N on day one to 6.67±0.12N on day 22. Cheese stored at 4±1°C had acceptable shelf life till days 22 of storage period, but cheese that kept at 18±1℃ had a maximum shelf stability of 6 days without losing consumer acceptability. Therefore, soft cheese made from camel milk can be stored up to 22 days at lower temperature (4±1℃) and for 6 days at 18±1℃. Therefore, a resource poor society produces without cooling can store the soft cheese made from camel milk at 18±1℃ for about 6 days.","PeriodicalId":403730,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115569340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LD forms mainly in the evolutionary process of and animal population selection. Studies showed that dairy goat population in many parts of the world have low DL. Thus, the selection process in these populations was not of intensity to promote high LD.

However, there are still many issues to be understood, especially in the field of taxonomy, which, with molecular studies, have presented great advances in understanding the epidemiological characteristics of G. duodenalis infection. Giardiasis is considered a zoonosis of public health importance, since G. duodenalis can infect a broad spectrum of mammalian hosts, including humans and domestic animals [1,2]. Thus, measures to control giardiasis should consider the participation of animals in the transmission cycles [3]. Currently the G. duodenalis species is divided into eight assemblages, classified in A-H [1,2]. The G. duodenalis assemblages C and D are still considered host-specific for canines and the assemblage F for cats, although they have already been observed in other animal species [4-6]. Assemblages A and B get more prominence because they have high zoonotic potential and can be found in humans and other mammalian hosts, including dogs and cats. As interest in domestic animals has grown in recent years and we have observed a growing humanization of dogs and cats, the existence of assemblages with affinity for humans and domestic animals (A and B) may support the occurrence of anthropozoonotic cycles inside the household [2,7].","PeriodicalId":403730,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114020869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meat is an important source of proteins, minerals, and vitamins. Nonetheless, its consumption has been associated with degenerative diseases, mainly related to its fat content. Although there has been a general recommendation against some kinds of dietary fat consumption over the years, there is a lack of information regarding the different techniques of breeding and feeding animals intended for food that could lead to diverse health effects after their consumption. In the process of obtaining healthier meat products, a number of modifications could be made to add, reduce, or increase substances with proven biological properties (functional ingredients). In this regard, interest in polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as α-linolenic acid (ALA), has become a nutrition research target. The chia seeds are one of the richest sources of ALA and contain high amounts of fiber and minerals. Although studies on the bioavailability of essential nutrients in Chia have not been fully described, based on the compositional data from all reported studies it could be considered that chia seeds are nutritionally valuable. Moreover, the chia-enriched meat and meat products have demonstrated a positive effect in the regulation of lipid metabolism, and the human trials have proved the beneficial effect on lipid composition and lipemia regulation in patients with moderately cholesterolemia.","PeriodicalId":403730,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126605226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
