The Composition of Turkeys as Affected by Age and Sex

Growth and chemical composition of three pistachio cultivars as affected by soil salinity and boron fertilization

Normal hematological values of native iranian cattle as influenced by age,breed and sex

Feed intake of sheep as affected by body weight, breed, sex, and feed composition.

The hypotheses tested were that genetic size-scaling for mature BW (A, kg) would reduce variation in intake between kinds of sheep and that quadratic polynomials on u = BW/A with zero intercept would provide good descriptions of the relationship between scaled intake (SI, g/A(0.73) d) and degree of maturity in BW (u) across feeds of differing quality. Both sexes of Suffolk sheep from 2 experime...

Chemical composition and physico-chemical properties of meat from capons as affected by breed and age

The influence of the breed [Mos (Spanish indigenous breed), Sasso T-44 and X-44 (commercial strains)] and the age (5, 6, 7 and 8 months) of capons (castrated male cockerels) on some qualitative traits of breast and drumstick meat were studied. The chemical composition (dry matter, protein, lipid and ash contents), pH, water holding capacity, drip loss, cooking loss, colour and texture (compress...

Carcass traits and physical characteristics of eggs in Japanese quail as affected by genotype, sex and hatch

The effect of genotype, sex and hatch on carcass traits and physical characteristics of eggs was investigated in the Japanese quail. Two strains of Japanese quails including the White (P1) and Wild (P2) genotypes were chosen as the parental generation and crossed reciprocally (10 single-pair mating) to create the F1 progeny. The F1 birds (27 males and 81 females) were mated randomly to produce ...
