Intestinal nitrogen degradation of hay and grass silage estimated by the mobile bag technique by Varvikko, T., Vanhatalo, A.

“…Intestinal degradation was measured by the mobile bag method, containing 800 mg of hay or freeze-dried grass silage or their rumen-incubated residues. 31.0-38.4 percent of original hay and grass silage dry matter (DM), and 9.6-13.7 percent of DM of their rumen-incubated residues disappeared from the bags during the intestinal exposure. …”

Kinetics of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) release in the peripheral blood of calves vaccinated with BCG by Ameni, G., Tibbo, Markos

“…After being screened for bovine tuberculosis (BTB), the calves were vaccinated with 1 m L inoculums containing 6 x 10 6 CFU of BCG. The level of IFN-y in the peripheral blood was measured two times before vaccination and seven times after vaccination, using a sandwich ELISA. …”

Host preference of tsetse: An important tool to appraise the Nagana risk of cattle in the cotton zone of Mali by Hoppenheit, A., Steuber, S., Bauer, B., Ouma, E.M., Diall, O., Zessin, K.H., Clausen, Peter-Henning

“…DNA extractions and amplification using universal vertebrate cytochrome b primers of 120 assorted samples detected 74 DNA-containing specimens. The subsequent use of cattle-specific primers yielded 52 visible amplicons in the gel electrophoresis. …”

Investigation of the risk of exposure to antimicrobial residues present in marketed milk in Tanzania by Kurwijila, Lusato R., Omore, Amos O., Staal, Steven J., Mdoe, N.S.Y.

“…The risk of consumer exposure to marketed milk containing antimicrobial residues was investigated by testing 986 samples of unpasteurized milk collected in dry and wet seasons from market agents along milk supply chains in and around Mwanza and Dar es Salaam in Tanzania during 1999 and 2000 and estimating the frequency of consuming such milk. …”

Micro-distribution of freshwater snails before and after water flow events in hydraulic structures in Tessaout Amont Irrigation System, Morocco by Laamrani, Hammou, Madsen, H., Boelee, Eline

“…The snail species is therefore associated with the 'siphon boxes' connecting canal segments, as these contain water that stagnates between irrigation cycles. …”

Estimating environmental flow requirements downstream of the Chara Chara weir on the Blue Nile River by McCartney, Matthew P., Shiferaw, A., Seleshi, Y.

“…The Desktop Reserve Model (DRM) was used to determine both high and low flow requirements in the reach containing the Falls. The results indicate that to maintain the basic ecological functioning in this reach requires an average annual allocation of 862 Mm3 (i.e. equivalent to 22% of the mean annual flow). …”

Potential of cowpea variety mixtures to increase yield stability in subsistence agriculture: preliminary results by Okonya, J., Maass, Brigitte L.

“…Unlike in commercial agriculture, where variety mixtures are known to give higher and more stable yields, the performance of cowpea variety mixtures in subsistence agriculture is little known. Mixtures containing up to four cowpea varieties were subjected to all possible 2-way, 3-way, and 4-way combinations. …”
