Gadolinium implanted cerium oxide (Gd-CeO2) nanocomposites is an important candidate which have unique hexagonal structure and high K- dielectric constant. Gd-CeO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using hydrothermal method. ...

This contribution reports on the synthesis and the main physical properties of p-type NiO nanoparticles synthesized for the first time by a completely green process using Agathosma betulina plant extract as an effective ...

Feeding is an important aspect in the management of any farm animal. It requires knowledge of the feeding behaviour and nutrient requirements of animals for specific production functions, e.g. work. The objective when ...

Genetic variations through their effects on gene expression and protein function underlie disease susceptibility in farm animal species. The variations are in the form of single nucleotide polymorphisms, deletions/insertions ...

This contribution reports on the synthesis and the main physical properties of ZnO nanoparticles synthesized for the first time by a completely green process using Agathosma betulina plant extract as an effective chelating ...

A cross-sectional study was carried out to determine the prevalence and distribution of Fasciola gigantica infections in communally grazed and ranch-grazed beef cattle through coprological examination. A total of 8646 ...

Canola meal (CM) is a potential alternative dietary protein source for indigenous chickens but its utility may be limited by anti-nutrients such as fibre and phytochemical compounds. This study, therefore, explores the ...

Ostriches are monogastric herbivores. Palatability is crucial to stimulate feed ingestion by the birds. When formulating rations for ostriches, cotton seed cake, meal or seeds should not be used to avoid gossypol poisoning. ...

Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) catalyses the synthesis of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and mono-unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in the mammary gland of ruminant animals. Considerable variations in CLA and MUFA have been ...
