Effects of mating sex ratios in Indian peafowl (Pavo cristatus) on production performance at Wildlife Research Institute, Faisalabad (Pakistan)
Effects of mating sex ratios on production performance in Indian peafowl were investigated at PunjabWildlife Research Institute, Gatwala Faisalabad. Research was conducted from May through August 2007 toexplore the most productive mating sex ratio. The sex ratios have a significant effect on egg production.Maximum mean eggs (1.63) were produced by the sex ratio 1:2 while maximum egg fertility (...
متن کاملProductive Performance and Hatchability of Alabio Ducks (Anas platyrhynchos Borneo) under Rural Feeding Management: Comparison of Different Dietary Protein Levels and Sex Ratios
An experiment was conducted to assess the optimum nutrient requirement and ideal mating ratios for Alabio ducks for production of fertile eggs and hatchability under rural feeding management. A total of 135 forty weeks old females and 27 males were used in the study. They were fed on low (17.5%), medium (19.5%) and high (21.5%) crude protein (CP) in diets containing approximately 3050 kcal of m...

Present paper is a report on the ratios in different age group of Iranians. In this investigation unlike the former reports, insteed of sampling, we considered the total Iranian population. We calculated the secondary sex ratios in Iranians according to their residential conditions (urbans, rurals and nomads) and age group. Age group in this study were arranged in 5 year periods , and p...
متن کاملGenetic variation for sex ratio traits within a natural population of a parasitic wasp, Nasonia vitripennis.
By analyzing isofemale strains extracted from a natural population of Nasonia vitripennis, we detected variation for the sex ratios produced in fresh hosts (first sex ratios) and in previously parasitized hosts (second sex ratios). Under simple assumptions of population structure, this between-strain heterogeneity of first sex ratios results in heterogeneity of fitnesses. There is approximately...
متن کاملSex ratio dependent dispersal when sex ratios vary between patches.
Female biased sex ratios reduce competition between brothers when mating takes place within local patches. Male dispersal prior to mating is another strategy that reduces competition between brothers. One may thus expect these two traits to co-evolve and this is partially met in that sex ratios becomes less female biased as dispersal increases. However, the evolutionary stable degree of dispers...
متن کاملNational, regional, and global sex ratios of infant, child, and under-5 mortality and identification of countries with outlying ratios: a systematic assessment.
BACKGROUND Under natural circumstances, the sex ratio of male to female mortality up to the age of 5 years is greater than one but sex discrimination can change sex ratios. The estimation of mortality by sex and identification of countries with outlying levels is challenging because of issues with data availability and quality, and because sex ratios might vary naturally based on differences in...
