Mineral Composition and Anti- nutritional Components of Shrubs: Rangeland Species from the Upland Balochistan, Pakistan
نویسندگان
چکیده
Little of the rangeland resources of Balochistan, Pakistan have been assessed and there is little to no information on how abiotic factors such as soil type and topography infl uence the nutritive value of native species. Leaf nitrogen concentrations in all species showed broadly similar patterns of change with season. In all species, non-protein nitrogen (NPN) accounted for more than 35-50% of total N. Th e eff ect of season on the concentration of phosphorus was highly signifi cant. In all shrubs, there was similar response of concentration of Ca, Mg and K. Th ere was a signifi cant eff ect of season on the concentration of both total phenol and condensed tannins in all species.

Bimolecular identification of M.ovinpeumoniae from nasal swab samples of sheep from various districts of Balochistan, Pakistan
Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae is an important respiratory pathogen of sheep across the world. In the present study nasal swab samples (n=778) were processed and 51isolates of M. ovipneumoniae were identified through biochemical tests and PCR. Difference in the isolation rate among districts (n=12), age groups (n=3), breads (n=6) was assessed. Similarly the isolate rate among healthy (n=513) and resp...

To reach the desirable ecosystem management, determining the animal dietselection, which is one of the components of rangeland ecosystem, is important. Therefore, inorder to determine the grazing behavior and diet selection of sheep and goat, the uplandrangeland of northern part of Alborz was selected. In this study, the first weeks of July andAugust of 2009 were chosen for the grazing period o...
متن کاملEffects of Shrub Canopy on the Microclimate and Soil Properties of Steppe Rangeland
In arid and semi-arid ecosystems, shrubs may act as fertility islands but theireffect may vary depending on their morphology and ecological impacts. This research wasaimed to study effect of three shrubs Scariola orientalis, Astragalus heratensis, and Rosapersica on soil properties and on the microclimate conditions (temperature, luminance, andsoil moisture) of their understory in the steppe ra...
