(2022)
In the present study, linseed oil and vitamin A were fed to the laying hens during hot summer months to produce n-3 PUFA-enriched eggs. Two hundred and forty White Leghorn hens were randomly divided into 24 replicates and ...
Determinants of venous return in steady-state physiology and asphyxia-induced circulatory shock and arrest: an experimental study
(2022)
Background: Mean circulatory filling pressure (Pmcf) provides information on stressed volume and is crucial for maintaining venous return. This study investigated the Pmcf and other determinants of venous return in dysrhythmic ...
Vaginal prolapse in ewes
