Molecular Diagnostic PCR Handbook
Edited by Gerrit J. Viljoen, Louis H. Nel and John R. Crowther. Springer Publishers. If you wish more information about this publication, then please E-mail to?NAFA - Animal Production and Health Section Contact point. The uses of nucleic acid-directed methods have increased significantly in the past five years and have made important contributions to disease control country programmes for improving national and international trade. These developments include the more routine use of PCR as a diagnostic tool in veterinary diagnostic laboratories. However, there are many problems associated with the transfer and particularly, the application of this technology. These include lack of consideration of: the establishment of quality-assured procedures, the required set-up of the laboratory and the proper training of staff. This can lead to a situation where results are not assured.

Methods in Gut Microbial Ecology for Ruminants
Edited by Harinder P.S. Makkar and Christopher S. McSweeney. Springer Publishers 2005. This book gives a comprehensive account of the methodologies for conventional (classical culture based techniques, such as isolation, enumeration and nutritional characterization) and modern molecular techniques (the use of small sub-unit rDNA analysis e.g. 16S rDNA using RT-PCR, Oligonucleotide Probes, Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis, Northern Blot Analysis, etc.) that are currently in use for studying the gut microbial ecology of ruminants. These technologies have the potential to revolutionize the understanding of rumen function and will overcome the limitations of classical based techniques, including isolation and taxonometric identification of strains important to efficient rumen function and better understanding of the roles of microorganisms in relation to achieving high productivity and decreasing environmental pollutants. ?

Estimation of Microbial Protein Supply in Ruminants Using Urinary Purine Derivatives
IAEA-CN-110. Vienna 2003. H.P.S. Makkar and X.B. Chen (eds) 2004. Kluwer Academic Publishers. This publication presents various models, describing the quantitative excretion of purine derivatives in urine, developed for various breeds of cattle and for sheep, goat, camel and buffalo and their use for estimation of microbial protein supply in ruminant livestock. It also describes progress made over the last decade in analytical methods for determining purine derivatives, and a unique approach for estimating microbial protein supply using spot urine samples developed under the FAO/IAEA CRP.

Quantification of Tannins in Tree and Shrub Foliage
Here is the most complete guide available to the analysis of tannins. A battery of tannin methodologies is presented in a simple, clear and easy-to-understand manner. This unique covers chemical, biological and radio isotopic tannin assays. Comprehensive step-by-step protocols are presented for each method. The protocols enable non-specialists and specialists alike to implement the methods easily in the laboratory. It is an ideal laboratory manual for research scientists, graduate students, and laboratory personnel working in the fields of animal nutrition, soil nutrient management, wild life-plant interactions, and plant breeding. Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, The Netherlands 2003.
