Measuring of Udder Morphological Characteristics among Crossbred and Pure Sheep Breeds

Udder Morphological Traits and Milk Yield of Chilota and Suffolk down Sheep Breeds

Morphological traits of the whole udder (circumference, width, height, and length), teats (angle, length and width), udder cistern (teat opening and cistern height), and milk yield were measured over one lactation in a total of 18 ewes (nine Chilota and nine Suffolk Down sheep) belonging to the same experimental flock (Centro Experimental INIA Butalcura, Chiloé, Chile). Analysis of variance sho...

Comparison of external udder measurements of the sheep breeds Improved Valachian, Tsigai, Lacaune and their crosses

Morphological udder traits have recently become of greater interest from farmers to researchers. In dairy ewes, the udder is very important due to its physiological and conformational characteristics. External udder traits were measured in ewes (Ovis aries L.) of nine genotypes (355 ewes) created of the basis of Improved Valachian (IV), Tsigai (T), and Lacaune (LC) breeds (six traits; 1185 data...

Morphological characterization of breeds of sheep: a discriminant analysis approach

In this study the characterisation and separation/discrimination of three sheep breeds (crosses, West African Dwarfs (WAD) and West African Long Legged (WALL)] based on their physical traits (morphological characterisation) was investigated extensively with the application of discriminant analysis. The study's main objective was specifically based on developing a variable selection criterion th...

Relationship between Peak Milk Yield and Udder Parameters of Dehong Crossbred Dairy Buffaloes

To determine the relationship between udder traits and peak milk yield, udder parameters of 203 Dehong crossbred dairy buffaloes were measured. The average peak milk yield (kg/day) of buffaloes was 9.60 ± 2.73, with average udder dimensions of 16.51 ± 10.05, 8.07 ± 3.26, 8.68 ± 3.92, 50.74 ± 8.82, 11.38 ± 3.08, 7.18 ± 2.18 and 7.73 ± 2.15 cm for udder depth, rear udder width, rear udder height,...

گوشت قرمز یکی از مهم ترین فرآورده های دامی در تأمین پروتئین و انرژی می باشد که در حمل ویتامین های محلول در چربی نیز حائز اهمیت می باشد. انسان مانند سایر مهره داران اسید های چرب ضروری (لینولئیک و آلفا لینولنیک) مورد نیاز خود از طریق غذا تأمین می نماید. اسید های چرب ضروی پیش ساز اسید های چرب غیر اشباع با چند پیوند دوگانه هستند. اسید لینولنیک پیش ساز اسیدهای چرب امگا 3 و اسید لینولئیک نیز پیش ساز ...
