The aims of this study were to determine the factors that affect follicle size at the time of artificial insemination (AI) and to detect the relationship between ovulatory follicle size at the time of AI and pregnancy rate in dairy cows. A total of 1428 follicle size measurements were obtained from Holstein-Friesian (HF) and Swedish Red (SR) cows that were inseminated with the fixed-timed AI protocols used in this study. Follicle size was affected by breed (P - 0.0001), milk production (P - 0.01), parity (P - 0.05), and season (P = 0.04). Follicle size was greater (P = 0.0001) in the HF (15.55 ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of three different dietary starch levels on postpartum milk yield, blood metabolites, and reproductive traits in cows. A total of 23 primiparous Holstein-Friesian cows were fed three different diets including different starch levels on a dry matter basis from parturition until day 80. Cows were randomly assigned into the three groups according to the starch levels: low (LS, 16%, n = 7), medium (MS, 20%, n = 8), and high (HS, 24%, n = 8). Milk yields were recorded daily, and body condition score (BCS) was determined every week. Transrectal ultr ...Daha fazlası
The reaction of N-(4-aminophenyl)aza-15-crown-5 (1) with anti-chlorophenylglyoxime (2) produces a novel azacrown ether containing vic-dioxime, N-(4-aminophenyl)aza-15-crown-5-phenylglyoxime (LH_2). LH_2 reacts with Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Cd(II), and Zn(II) ions to yield the mononuclear transition and nontransition metal complexes [M(LH)_2] (M = Ni and Cu), [M(LH)_2(H_2O)_2] (M = Co), and [M(LH)(H_2O)(Cl)] (M = Cd and Zn). The structural features of LH_2 were studied using several techniques including elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet visible (UV ...Daha fazlası
The objective of this study is to synthesize ZnO and Mg doped ZnO (Zn1-xMgxO) nanoparticles via the sol-gel method, and characterize their structures and to investigate their biological properties such as antibacterial activity and hemolytic potential.Nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by the sol-gel method using zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH3COO)(2) .2H(2)O) and magnesium acetate tetrahydrate (Mg(CH3COO)(2) .4H(2)O) as precursors. Methanol and monoethanolamine were used as solvent and sol stabilizer, respectively. Structural and morphological characterizations of Zn1-xMgxO nanoparticles wer ...Daha fazlası
