For this reason, the monitoring of surface parameters, in particular soil moisture, is essential. Satellite remote sensing appears to be the most suitable means of obtaining data relevant to such parameters. The present paper presents the results of...

متن کاملProminent Signs of Oestrusin the West African Dwarf Goat
In order to study the signs of œstrus in the West African Dwarf goat, 28 non pregnant females younger than 24 months of age were used. Most of them (94.7%) had waggled the tail during heat. The frequency of micturition was higher in the presence of the male. The swelling of the vulva was observed in 68.4% of goats in heat. The cervico-vaginal mucus was significantly (P≤0.05) abundant and elasti...
