More than 60 years later, the Normandy Invasion, or D-Day, remains the largest seaborne invasion in history, involving nearly three million troops crossing the English Channel from England to Normandy in occupied France.
The clinical heterogeneity observed in leptospirosis may be associated with host factors or bacteria virulence. Human serum mannose-binding lectin (MBL) recognizes many pathogens, and low levels of this lectin are associated with susceptibility to infection. MBL is also implicated in the modulation of the inflammatory process. We determined the levels of serum MBL during leptospirosis infection.
Remember that dairy research has a lot of value to us as beef producers because we are basically attempting to do the same thing: get cattle bred and turn feed and forage into milk. A typical dairy cow ideally requires protein components at about the following levels: soluble protein - 31.0%; degradable protein - 61.0%; undegraded or by-pass protein - 39%. These numbers would hold fairly consistently for a heavy milking beef cow.
