Dairy Essentials 6) FEEDS FOR DAIRY COWS Michel A. Wattiaux Babcock Institute W. Terry Howard Department of Dairy Science INTRODUCTION In general, feeds are classified into one of the following categories: • Forages; • Concentrates (energy and protein feeds); • Minerals and vitamins. This classification is a convenient way to group feeds, but it is somewhat arbitrary. Classifying feeds is not as important as knowing which feeds are available, their nutritive value, and the…

Ischemia and Reperfusion In recent years, basic research has enabled a better understanding of the molecular and cellular basis of myocardial ischemia. In this context, cardiac mitochondria have been shown to perform an important role, being essential to energy production and ionic homeostasis, and thus controlling cardioprotection and cell death. Knowledge of these facts has led to the development of new therapeutic strategies for myocardial ischemia, aiming to modify its biochemical…

small-scale distributed plant. This is among the highest proportions in the world, although around half are diesel generators. The country is making progress towards its goal of a ‘new energy paradigm’ writes Mario Alberto Arrastía Avila. Distributed generation in Cuba part of a transition towards a new energy paradigm uba depends on fossil fuels to generate electricity and the country consumes 7.6 million tons of oil a year. Before 1959, the Cuban Electric Power Industry was…

1. The metric prefixes (micro, pico, nano, …) are given for ready reference on the inside front cover of the textbook (see also Table 1–2). (a) Since 1 km = 1 × 103 m and 1 m = 1 × 106 μm, 1km = 103 m = 103 m 106 μ m m = 109 μ m. The given measurement is 1.0 km (two significant figures), which implies our result should be written as 1.0 × 109 μm. (b) We calculate the number of microns in 1 centimeter. Since 1 cm = 10−2 m, 1cm = 10−2 m = 10−2 m 106 μ m m = 104 μ m. We conclude that the…
