Indications exist that paramagnetic calcium phosphates may be able to promote
regeneration of bone faster than their regular, diamagnetic counterparts. In this study …

Oxidative stress (OS) related to birth in ruminants may increase susceptibility to diseases.
However, information about the physiological changes related to OS in lambs is limited. This …

Colostrum consumption is crucial for passive immunization and development of the newborn
