Assessment of the Reproductive Tract Score (RTS) and cervical mucus characteristics is a very effective and accurate method in Bali cattle breeding and reproductive management programs. In conclusion, both RTS and cervical mucus characteristics a...

...oxide dismutase (T-SOD), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Meanwhile, the mRNA expression of HO-1 and NQO1 in liver tissue was also not significantly different. These results indicate that PNP may damage liver tissue through oxidative stress. Arg may improve growth performance and attenuate PNP-induced liver inflammation in healthy animals, but not by reducing oxidative levels.
