The effect of bovine somatotropin treatment on production of lactating angora does with kids. (1/204)

Fourteen Angora does (35+/-2 kg), each with a single kid and in the first month of lactation, were used to determine ongoing (Period 1) and residual (Period 2) effects of chronic bovine somatotropin (bST) treatment. Specifically, we sought to determine whether chronic bST treatment was capable of improving milk yield, and thus kid growth, and mohair production of nursing does. The experiment consisted of a 2-wk pretreatment period, 5 wk of weekly subcutaneous treatment of slow-release bST (n = 7; Period 1), and a 4-wk posttreatment period (Period 2). The weekly dose of bST was calculated to release 100 microg/(kg BW.d(-1)). To estimate milk production, kids were separated from the does daily for 5 h, and their BW was recorded before and after suckling. The difference in BW was taken as milk production for 5 h. Fiber growth was measured by shearing does at the start of the experiment and at the end of Periods 1 and 2. Dry matter intake and BW of does were not affected by bST (P>.05). Average daily gain of kids that were suckling bST-treated does was higher (P<.05) than for kids of untreated does during Period 1 (184 vs. 139 g/d) but not during Period 2 (140 vs. 136 g/d; P>.10). Treatment with bST did not affect (P>.10) milk composition or clean fleece production in either period. Injection of bST did not affect (P>.10) plasma concentrations of glucose (mean = 49.5 mg/dL), urea N (mean = 19 mg/dL), total protein (mean = 72.5 g/d), or NEFA (mean = 122 microEq/L). During the period of bST treatment, plasma concentrations of somatotropin and IGF-I were increased (P<.05), concentrations of thyroxine and cortisol were decreased (P<.10), and plasma insulin levels were unchanged (P>.10) by bST. In conclusion, treatment of Angora dams with bST did not change DMI or mohair growth, but it improved growth of their kids.  (+info)

Copper status of ewes fed increasing amounts of copper from copper sulfate or copper proteinate. (2/204)

The Cu status of mature, crossbred ewes fed two sources (CuSO4 vs. Cu proteinate) and three levels (10, 20, or 30 mg/kg) of dietary Cu was determined in a 73-d feeding trial. Ewes (n = 30) were fed a basal diet containing rice meal feed, cottonseed hulls, cottonseed meal, meat and bone meal, cracked corn, and vitamin-mineral supplements at 2.5% of BW to meet NRC requirements for protein, energy, macrominerals, and microminerals, excluding Cu. The basal diet contained 5 mg/kg Cu, 113 mg/kg Fe, .1 mg/kg Mo, and .17% S. Copper sulfate or Cu proteinate was added to the basal diet to supply 10, 20, or 30 mg/kg of dietary copper in a 2x3 factorial arrangement of treatments. Ewes were housed in 3.7- x 9.1-m pens in an open-sided barn. Blood samples were collected on d 28 and 73. Ewes were slaughtered on d 74, and liver and other tissues were collected to determine Cu concentrations. An interaction (P = .08) occurred between source and level for liver Cu. The interaction existed due to an increase in liver Cu concentrations when ewes were fed increasing dietary Cu from CuSO4 but not when fed Cu proteinate diets. There was no source x level interaction (P>.10) for the blood constituents measured. On d 73, plasma ceruloplasmin activity was greater (P<.05) in ewes fed Cu proteinate than in those fed CuSO4 (33.1 vs. 26.8 microM x min(-1) x L(-1)). Increasing the concentration of dietary Cu did not affect (P>.10) plasma ceruloplasmin. Packed cell volume (PCV), red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell count, whole blood hemoglobin (wHb), plasma hemoglobin, and plasma Cu were similar between sources of Cu. Ewes fed 20 mg/kg Cu had lower (P<.05) PCV, RBC, and wHb than those fed 10 or 30 mg/kg Cu diets. Feeding up to 30 mg/kg Cu from these sources did not cause an observable Cu toxicity during the 73-d period.  (+info)

Biologically based coefficients for partitioning lamb and wool production costs. (3/204)

Global competition for selling lamb and wool requires sheep producers to effectively prioritize wool and lamb production. Both products are produced simultaneously, and this makes it difficult to differentially assess costs and net returns. This study addressed this issue by developing coefficients for use in financial analysis of lamb and wool profitability across and within five regions of the United States (Eastern, Midwestern, Intermountain West, Great Basin, and Texas). A procedure was developed using a sheep simulation model to partition the amount of nutrients used for lamb and wool production and then using the partitioning information to determine the proportion of costs to be assessed to lamb and wool production. Blackface breed types, when managed without nutritional limitations, had lamb and wool coefficients of .90 and .10, respectively. Wool breeds with unlimited and limited nutrition had lamb coefficients between .80 and .20 and .60 and .40, respectively. In-depth analysis of the Great Basin system indicated that wool and its improvement may contribute as much, if not more, under certain pricing conditions, as increased prolificacy to enterprise profitability. With low lamb prices ($1.32/kg) and moderate wool prices, the partial net returns for a Merino x Rambouillet were higher than the tested prolific breed type ($13.85 vs $11.27/ewe, respectively). This ranking was reversed under high ($2.31/kg) lamb prices ($47.90 vs $55.22, respectively). The derived method provides a basis for analyzing, comparing, and making management and breeding objective decisions.  (+info)

Genotypic expression at different ages: II. Wool traits of sheep. (4/204)

Genetic parameters for wool traits for Columbia, Polypay, Rambouillet, and Targhee breeds of sheep were estimated with single- and multiple-trait analyses using REML with animal models. Traits considered were fleece grade, fleece weight, and staple length. Total number of observations ranged from 11,673 to 34,746 for fleece grade and fleece weight and from 3,500 to 11,641 for staple length for the four breeds. For single-trait analyses, data were divided by age of ewe: young ages (age of 1 yr), middle ages (ages of 2 and 3 yr), and older ages (age greater than 3 yr). Heritability estimates averaged over breeds for fleece grade decreased from .42 at a young age to .37 for older ages. For fleece weight, heritability estimates averaged .52, .57, and .55 within the successively older groups. Heritability estimates for staple length averaged .54 for young and middle age classes. Few older ewes had staple length measurements. After single-trait analyses, new data sets were created for three-trait analyses with traits defined by three age classes when animals were measured. Heritability estimates with three-trait analyses, except for a few cases, were somewhat greater than those from single-trait analyses. For fleece grade, the genetic correlations averaged over breeds were .72 for young with middle, .42 for young with older, and .86 for middle with older age classes. For fleece weight, the average genetic correlations were .81, .83, and .98. For staple length, the average genetic correlation for young with middle age classes was .82. Estimates of genetic correlations across ages varied considerably among breeds. The average estimates of correlations suggest that fleece grade may need to be defined by age, especially for the Columbia and Rambouillet breeds. For fleece weight and staple length, however, the average correlations suggest no need to define those traits by age.  (+info)

Genetic parameters among weight, prolificacy, and wool traits of Columbia, Polypay, Rambouillet, and Targhee sheep. (5/204)

Genetic parameters for Columbia, Polypay, Rambouillet, and Targhee sheep were estimated using REML with animal models for prolificacy, weight, and wool traits. All bivariate analyses included a covariance between additive genetic effects for the two traits plus appropriate additional covariances. Number of observations by breed ranged from 5,140 to 7,095 for prolificacy traits, from 7,750 to 9,530 for weight traits, and from 4,603 to 34,746 for wool traits. Heritability estimates ranged from .03 to .11 for prolificacy traits (litter size at birth and litter size at weaning), from .09 to .26 for weight traits (birth weight and average daily gain), and from .25 to .53 for wool traits (fleece weight, fleece grade and staple length). Estimates of direct genetic correlations among prolificacy and among weight traits were positive and ranged from .58 to 1.00 and .18 to 1.00, respectively. Estimates of direct genetic correlation between fleece weight and staple length were positive (.50 to .70) but were negative between fleece weight and fleece grade (-.60 to -.34) and between staple length and fleece grade (-.72 and -.40). Prolificacy and wool traits were essentially uncorrelated. Weight and prolificacy traits were slightly positively correlated. Weight traits had a moderate positive direct genetic correlation with fleece weight and staple length, but were uncorrelated with fleece grade. These estimates of genetic parameters between prolificacy, weight, and wool traits can be used to construct multiple-trait selection indexes for dual-purpose sheep.  (+info)

Studies on the high-sulphur proteins of reduced mohair. The isolation and amino acid sequence of protein scmkb-m1.2. (6/204)

The complete amino acid sequence of mohair protein, SCMKB-M1.2 (97 residues), was determined. The protein was isolated from reduced and carboxymethylated mohair by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose phosphate. Peptides for sequence determination were obtained by digestion with trypsin, pepsin, chymotrypsin, thermolysin and papain, and were fractionated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, paper chromatography and electrophoresis. The sequence of the peptides were determined by the Edman degradation method (by use of both the Beckman Sequence and a non-automatic procedure), and by partial acid hydrolysis. The protein is closely homologous to wool protein SCMKB-IIIB2, and also contains acetylated alanine as N-terminal amino acid.  (+info)

Expression of the homeobox gene, Barx2, in wool follicle development. (7/204)

We have cloned ovine Barx2, a member of the Bar class of homeobox genes, and present the first description of Barx2 expression in wool follicle development. Barx2 is uniformly expressed in the embryonic ectoderm but is transiently downregulated during the initiation of follicle morphogenesis. Subsequently, Barx2 is expressed throughout the epithelial component of the developing follicle except for a small group of cells at the leading edge of the follicle placode. These Barx2-negative cells are destined to form the follicle bulb and are the progenitors of the inner root sheath and hair shaft. In adult follicles, Barx2 is expressed throughout the outer root sheath but not in the inner root sheath or hair shaft, or in dermal cells associated with the follicle. The pattern of Barx2 expression in follicle morphogenesis is similar to that of the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin, a similarity that echoes Barx2 coexpression with the L1 cell adhesion molecule in other tissues during mouse embryogenesis. Barx2 is also expressed in tongue and esophagus, two other keratinizing tissues, and we speculate that Barx2 may have a general function in controlling adhesive processes in keratinizing epithelia.  (+info)

Metabolic hormones and tissue concentrations of mRNA for IGF-I in lines of sheep that differ in their protein synthesis response to feed intake. (8/204)

The rate of protein synthesis in the skin and muscle of sheep that have been genetically selected for high wool staple strength (SS) is less dependent on the level of dietary intake than that of low SS sheep. This study examined potential hormonal mediators of this difference in responsiveness. Sheep from SS+ and SS- genotypes were fed at 0.4, 1.1 or 1.8 times maintenance. Circulating concentrations of metabolic hormones and tissue concentrations of the mRNA for IGF-I were measured and compared with rates of protein synthesis measured previously. Plasma concentrations of GH, insulin, cortisol, thyroxine and IGF-I responded similarly to dietary intake in both genotypes, but SS+ sheep had higher plasma concentrations of IGF-I at all levels of nutrition (P<0.05). There were no interactions between diet and genotype. The concentration of mRNA for IGF-I was higher in the liver of SS+ sheep (P<0.05), and tended to increase (P=0.06) with nutrient intake, but there were no significant effects of genotype or nutrition in skin, muscle or gut. Concentrations of mRNA for IGF-I were not related to the rate of protein synthesis in any tissue examined. It was concluded that IGF-I did not drive the rate of protein synthesis directly, but it may mediate the responsiveness of protein synthesis rate, or protein degradation rate, to nutrient supply.  (+info)

I'm sorry for any confusion, but "wool" is not a term that has a medical definition. Wool refers to the thick coat of hair that is characteristic of sheep and some other animals. It is often used to create textiles and clothing due to its warmth and durability. If you have any questions related to medicine or health, I'd be happy to try to help answer them for you!

I apologize, but "sheep" is not a term that has a medical definition. It is a common animal with the scientific name Ovis aries. If you have any medical or health-related questions, I would be happy to try and help answer those for you.

Mineral fibers are tiny, elongated particles that occur naturally in the environment. They are made up of minerals such as silica and are often found in rocks and soil. Some mineral fibers, like asbestos, have been widely used in various industries for their heat resistance, insulating properties, and strength. However, exposure to certain types of mineral fibers, particularly asbestos, has been linked to serious health conditions such as lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis.

Mineral fibers are defined by their physical characteristics, including their length, width, and aspect ratio (the ratio of the fiber's length to its width). According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), mineral fibers with a length of at least 5 micrometers, a width of no more than 3 micrometers, and an aspect ratio of at least 3:1 are considered to be "respirable," meaning they can be inhaled and potentially become lodged in the lungs.

It's worth noting that not all mineral fibers are created equal when it comes to health risks. Asbestos, for example, is a known human carcinogen, while other mineral fibers such as fiberglass and rock wool are considered less hazardous, although they can still cause respiratory irritation and other health problems with prolonged exposure.

I believe there may be some confusion in your question. "Nylons" is a common term for a type of synthetic fiber often used in clothing, hosiery, and other textile applications. It is not a medical term or concept. If you have any questions related to medical terminology or concepts, I would be happy to try and help clarify!

I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Textile Industry" and "medical definition" are not related. The textile industry is the overall system of designing, producing, and distributing clothing and their raw materials, which include fiber, yarn, and cloth. It involves several processes such as spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing, and finishing.

If you're looking for a medical term or definition, please provide me with the term so I can assist you better.

I'm sorry for any confusion, but "Silicic Acid" is not a recognized medical term. Silicic acid, also known as orthosilicic acid, is a compound that contains silicon and oxygen in a ratio of 1:2 (Si(OH)4). It's commonly found in water, soil, and various plants.

In the context of health and medicine, silica or silicic acid supplements are sometimes used for their potential benefits to bone health, collagen production, and hair and nail growth. However, more research is needed to fully understand these effects and their optimal usage.

If you have any questions related to a specific medical condition or treatment, I would recommend consulting with a healthcare professional.

I'm sorry for any confusion, but "textiles" is not a term that is typically used in a medical context. In general, textiles refer to the broad category of flexible materials made by weaving, knitting, braiding, or felting fibers together. They include things like clothing, upholstery, and other soft goods.

In a medical setting, terms such as "medical textiles" or "healthcare textiles" might be used to refer to textile-based products that are specifically designed for use in medical applications, such as bandages, wound dressings, sutures, and implantable materials. These products must meet strict regulatory requirements to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

However, it's important to note that while some healthcare professionals may be familiar with the term "textiles" in this context, it is not a standard medical term and would not be used in a formal medical definition.
