AN INVESTIGATION ON FERMENTATIVE PROFILE, MICROBIAL NUMBERS, BACTERIAL COMMUNITY DIVERSITY AND THEIR PREDICTED METABOLIC CHARACTERISTICS OF SUDANGRASS ( STAPF.) SILAGES

An investigation on fermentative profile, microbial numbers, bacterial community diversity and their predicted metabolic characteristics of Sudangrass ( Stapf.) silages

Objective This study aimed to investigate the fermentation profiles, bacterial community and predicted metabolic characteristics of Sudangrass (Sorghum sudanense Stapf.) during ensiling.Methods First-cutting Sudangrass was harvested at the vegetative stage and ensiled in laboratory-scale silos (1 L capacity).Triplicate silos were sampled after 1, 3

Metabolism of high density lipoprotein lipids by the rat liver: evidence for participation of hepatic lipase in the uptake of cholesteryl ester.

In order to determine the role of hepatic lipase in the hepatic uptake and metabolism of high density lipoprotein (HDL) triglycerides, cholesteryl esters, and phospholipids, isolated rat livers Ice Makers were perfused with a reconstituted HDL (rHDL) radiolabeled with [3H]triolein and [14C]cholesteryl oleate or palmitoyl-[14C]linoleoyl phosphatidyl

Five SNPs Within the FGF5 Gene Significantly Affect Both Wool Traits and Growth Performance in Fine-Wool Sheep (Ovis aries)

Fibroblast growth factor 5 (FGF5) gene, a member Ice Makers of fibroblast growth factor superfamily, plays significant roles in the regulation of the hair growth cycle during the development of mammalian hair follicles as well as the skeletal muscle development.In this study, DNA sequencing was used to scan the putative SNPs within the full-length
