Phenotypic Characterization of Marwari Goats under Field Conditions

Comparative Characterization of Parallel Distribution Sensors Under Field Conditions

Evaluation of furazolidone, sulfadimidine and amprolium to treat coccidiosis in Beetal goats under field conditions.

Coccidiosis is a protozoal and occasionally fatal diarrheic disease of goats imposing heavy economic losses to farming community. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacies of Furazolidone, Sulfadimidine and Amprolium against coccidiosis in Beetal goats. Twenty-four (24) Beetal goats naturally infected with coccidiosis were randomly divided into four groups of 6 (A-D). Goats in groups A, B and...

Transgenerational phenotypic plasticity under future atmospheric conditions

Edward B. Mondor,* Michelle N. Tremblay and Richard L. Lindroth Department of Entomology, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA *Correspondence: E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Organisms often exhibit transgenerational phenotypic changes in response to an increased risk of parasitism or predation. Shifts in global atmospheric composition could modify these phenotypic effec...

The Survey on Quantity and Quality of Hair Produced by Goats Under Fars Province Conditions

This study was conducted to investigate the hair production and fleece characteristics of hair goats in Fars province. The material of the study included a total data of 84 hair goats, which were between kids and adult in male and female goats, respectively. The overall average for fleece weight, fiber length, staple lengths, washing yield, hair fiber diameter, of fiber diameter, breaking force...

Characterization and Pattern of Culling in Goats

In order to describe the proportion and pattern of culling in commercial goatherds, this survey was carried out in an industrialized goatherd in Torbat-e-Jam, Iran, over a period of 18 years from 1996 to 2013. In total, the data of 3945 goats were used in this study. Finally, out of all samples, 499 (12%) goats were culled. The involuntary culling was performed mainly due to shortage disorders ...
