Heat stressed cows increase respiration rate (panting) in an effort to lose heat. One indirect consequence is a reduction in the availability of bicarbonate in saliva. With lower salivation as feed intake falls‚ this predisposes the cow to ruminal acidosis and the accompanying milk fat depression. Feeding I.C.E.™ to heat-stressed cows in Brazil mitigated this problem (Figure 4). Figure 4. I.C.E.™ improves milk fat %. 3.38 3.40 Milk fat % 3.30 3.20 3.10 3.12 3.00 2.90 Control I.C.E.™ Source:

RICKETS For Scientific Principles and Health and Disease By: Mackenzie Gray 112-69-7540 April 7‚ 2010 Rickets is a disease that deals with a deficiency with Vitamin D. Vitamin D is important by controlling calcium and phosphate levels. If the blood levels of these minerals become too low‚ the body may produce hormones that cause calcium and phosphate to be released from the bones eventually this leads to weak and soft bones.

Synchronized Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation Mode/CareFusion Avea Ventilator I have chosen the mode Synchronized Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation Mode because it is one of the modes that is most commonly used in the hospital. I wanted to further understand this mode since it is used as an initial mode setting and is also used to wean patients off the ventilator. I will be going over the taxonomy‚ description of the mode‚ its purpose & use‚ and its advantages & disadvantages. Taxonomy: Volume
