ASSOCIATION BETWEEN BIOCHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND PATHOLOGICAL FINDINGS IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF FATTY LIVER IN DAIRY COWS

Association between biochemical parameters and pathological findings in the diagnosis of fatty liver in dairy cows

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of some serum parameters in the diagnosis of fatty liver in cattle with special attention to its degree and to determine the best cut point of these parameters in order to predict the occurrence of fatty liver.Blood and liver samples of 28 cows were taken at the time of slaughter.Serum concentrat

Impact of Bt cotton expressing single (Cry1Ac) and dual toxins (Cry1Ac and Cry2Ab) on the fitness of the predator Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi (Esben-Petersen): prey-mediated tri-trophic analysis

Abstract Transgenic Bt cotton with genes from soil inhabiting spore forming bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner produces δ-endotoxin for the control of lepidopteran insects.The prey-mediated effects of Cry protein on the third trophic level is the most realistic exposure pathway that needs to be addressed as an important component of environ

When top-down becomes bottom up: behaviour of hyperdense howler monkeys (Alouatta seniculus) trapped on a 0.6 ha island.

Predators are a ubiquitous presence in most natural environments.Opportunities to contrast Mattress Protector the behaviour of a species in the presence and absence of predators are thus rare.Here we report on the behaviour of howler monkey groups living under radically different conditions on two land-bridge islands in Lago Guri, Venezuela.One gro
