Thermoregulation and heat balance in the dik-dik antelope (Rhynchotragus kirki): a field and laboratory study.
(Elsevier Science LtdDepartment of Veterinary Anatomy and Physiology, University of Nairobi, 1985)xperiments were conducted in the field to study the physiological responses of dik-dik antelope to direct solar radiation and shade. The results were compared to those obtained in the laboratory. The rates of metabolic ... -
Thermoregulation and metabolism in a small desert carnivore: the Fennec fox (Fennecus zerda) (Mammalia)†
(2009-08-20)In controlled laboratory experiments the effects of ambient temperatures on thermoregulation, metabolism, heat balance, heart rate, and total evaporative water loss were studied in the Fennce fox (Fenneus Zerda) from the ... -

Thermostable muscle antigens suitable for use in enzyme immunoassays for identification of meat from various species
(1987)A method for the extraction of thermostable muscle antigens for use in enzyme immunoassays is described. The method yields antigens devoid of contaminating proteins which reduce the adsorption of the antigens on to the ... -
Thiabendazole resistance in a field population of H. contortus from sheep in Rongai Division, Nakuru, Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 1994)Representatives of 3 major groups of broad spectrum anthelmintics with different modes of action (thiabendazole (TBZ), levamisole (LVM) and ivermectin (IVM)) were used at the manufacturer's recommended dose rates against ... -

The thickness of avian blood-gas barrier: qualitative and quantitative observations.
(Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Liverpool,Department of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, 1982)Gas exchange in the avian lung takes place across a blood-gas barrier formed, as in other air-breathing vertebrates, by three essential components, an epithelial cell, a basal lamina, and an endothelial cell. The thickness ... -
Thin and Strong! The Bioengineering Dilemma in the Structural and Functional Design of the Blood-Gas Barrier
(University of NairobiFaculty Of Veterinary Medicine, 2005-07)In gas exchangers, the tissue barrier, the partition that separates the respiratory media (water/air and hemolymph/blood), is exceptional for its remarkable thinness, striking strength, and vast surface area. These properties ... -
Thin layer drying characteristics of grain sorghum
(Department or Food Technology and Nutrition, 2003)Drying characteristics of both naturally moist and.rew.etted grain sorghum were studied. Three varieties of Kenyan grain sorghum were used. The drying air temperature and its flow rate were varied. Relative humidity of the ... -
A three-dimensional cellular model of the human respiratory tract to study the interaction with particles
(Institute of Anatomy, Division of Histology, University of Bern, Bern, SwitzerlandDepartment of Veterinary Anatomy, University of Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya, 2004)A novel triple co-culture model of the human airway barrier was designed to simulate the cellular part of the air–blood barrier of the respiratory tract represented by macrophages, epithelial cells, and dendritic cells. ... -
Three-Dimensional structure and disposition of the air conducting and gas exchange conduits of the Avian lung: The domestic Duck ( Cairina moschata)
(University of Nairobi, 2014)The anatomy of the domestic duck lung was studied macroscopically. by casting and by light. transmission. and scanning electron microscopy. The lung had four categories of secondary bronchi (SB). namely. the medioventral ... -
Thyroid hormones and metabolic rate during induction of Vitamin B12 deficiency in goats
(Taylor and Francis GroupDepartment of Animal Production, University of NairobiDepartment of Animal Physiology, University of Nairobi, 1994)Vitamin B12 deficiency was induced in 15 small East African goats by feeding cobalt deficient Chloris guyana hay (containing 0.02 mg of Co/kg dry matter) over a 25week experimental period. Cobalt was supplemented as an ... -

Tillage Effects on Selected Soil Physical Properties in a Maize-Bean Intercropping System in Mwala District, Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2014)A field study was carried out to evaluate the effects of tillage practices on soil physical properties in Mwala district, Eastern Kenya, during the long rains (LR) and short rains (SR) of 2012/13. The treatments were disc ... -
Tillage Method and Residual N, P, K, Zn, B, Mg, Ca, and S Nutrients Effect on Growth and Yield of Dry Bean Grown after the Harvest of Maize
(NST, 2020)Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production is constrained majorly by drought and low soil fertility in Kenya. These limitations have never been adequately approached due to financial challenges and lack of better ... -
Time-course investigation of infection with a low virulent Pasteurella multocida strain in normal and immune-suppressed 12-week-old free-range chickens
(Taylor & FrancisDepartment of Veterinary Pathology, Microbiology and Parasitology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, 2011-11)Twelve-week-old indigenous chickens, either immune-suppressed using dexamethasone (IS) or non-immunesuppressed (NIS), were challenged with a low virulent strain, Pasteurella multocida strain NCTC 10322T, and developed ... -
