| hematologic and serum chemical effects of a ketamine/xylazine combination when used for immobilizing springbok. | a ketamine hydrochloride/xylazine combination was found effective for immobilizing springbok. following intramuscular injection by hand, the onset of immobilization ranged from 3 to 10 minutes and duration of immobilization ranged from 1 hour to 2 hours 20 minutes. hematologic and serum chemical values before and after immobilization were compared. serum alanine transaminase and serum glucose values were significantly higher after immobilization, whereas serum potassium was significantly lower. | 1983 | 6643239 |
| an alternative to the service 'too young to benefit from lessons in its own history'. | the government's green paper on the elderly suggests the possibility of nhs nursing homes. is this really a good idea? author looks back over the history of springbok house, one of four experimental rest homes for the infirm elderly run by the national corporation for the care of old people in the fifties and the early sixties, and suggests that this might provide some answers. | 1978 | 10297571 |

| changes in the physico-chemical attributes through processing of salami made from blesbok (damaliscus pygargus phillipsi), eland (taurotragus oryx), fallow deer (dama dama), springbok (antidorcas marsupialis) and black wildebeest (connochaetes gnou) in comparison to pork. | drying kinetics and changes in proximate composition, ph, salt content, water activity (aw) and lipid oxidation through processing of salami made using five different game meat species were evaluated and compared to pork. eight batches of salami from each species were made and sampled for analysis throughout processing. processing time was a significant factor on all measured attributes whilst species affected (p ≤ .05) ph and moisture but not drying kinetics. black wildebeest meat exhibited hig ... | 2018 | 30138886 |
| wild antelope skeletal muscle antioxidant enzyme activities do not correlate with muscle fibre type or oxidative metabolism. | wild antelope are some of the fastest land animals in the world, presenting with high oxidative and glycolytic skeletal muscle metabolism. however, no study has investigated their muscle antioxidant capacity, and may assist in understanding their physical ability and certain pathophysiological manifestations, such as capture myopathy. therefore, the primary aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant activities superoxide dismutase (sod), catalase (cat) and glutathione reductase (gr), as ... | 2020 | 31862242 |
| review of the global distribution and hosts of the economically important fish parasitic isopod genus ceratothoa (isopoda: cymothoidae), including the description of ceratothoa springbok n. sp. from south africa. | fish parasites from the isopod family cymothoidae have, in recent years, received increased global attention due to both their ecological and economic importance. this is particularly true for the buccal inhabiting genus ceratothoa dana, 1852, whose members have been implicated in negatively impacting the health of both farmed and wild-caught fishes. as research on this group increases, so does our understanding of their host specificity and distribution. the aims of this paper were thus to revi ... | 2020 | 32750362 |
| differentiation of south african game meat using near-infrared (nir) spectroscopy and hierarchical modelling. | near-infrared (nir) spectroscopy, combined with multivariate data analysis techniques, was used to rapidly differentiate between south african game species, irrespective of the treatment (fresh or previously frozen) or the muscle type. these individual classes (fresh; previously frozen; muscle type) were also determined per species, using hierarchical modelling. spectra were collected with a portable handheld spectrophotometer in the 908-1676-nm range. with partial least squares discriminant ana ... | 2020 | 32316308 |
