Targets of Elf5 in Mouse Trophoblast Stem Cells
(The University of Waikato, 2007)The Placenta is an essential organ for all mammalian embryonic development as it provides the nutritional link between maternal and foetal blood streams. The cells which go on to proliferate and contribute to all the major ... -
The effects of food restriction on the perception of hunger, metabolic state and stress responsiveness in sheep
(University of Waikato, 2010)Sheep in temperate regions may be exposed to periods of limited food availability and a range of environmental conditions. Insufficient dietary intake may change live weight (LW) and body condition score (BCS) resulting ... -
The effects of early handling on dairy calves' physiological and behavioural responses to routine husbandry procedures
(The University of Waikato, 2010)The quality and quantity of human-animal interactions are crucial to animal welfare, productivity and management of livestock on-farm. Forty Holstein Friesian calves, from one week of age, were exposed to experimental ... -
The effects of early handling on play behaviour and social interactions in dairy calves
(The University of Waikato, 2010)The effects of early handling on play behaviour, faecal corticosteroid metabolite concentrations and social interactions during regrouping was studied in 40 Holstein Friesian group housed dairy calves. Calves were exposed ... -
The Role of ELf5 in Mouse Trophoblast Stem Cells
(The University of Waikato, 2010)Elf5 is a DNA transcription factor that has been identified as being involved in placentation of the early embryo. Elf5 is expressed in the extra embryonic ectoderm (ExE), a lineage that contributes to the placenta of the ...
