چکیده مقاله:

Reproduction in domestic animals, as a major source of food and other products for human, has greatimportance and study of related subjects including sex differentiation and gonadogenesis during fetal life can solve many questions on normal development and various disorders of urogenital system. Since studies on sex differentiation in goat fetus are scarce, this study was performed. Twenty-five goat fetuses with 5–40 mm crown-rump lengths (CRL) were obtained from slaughter-house and fixed in 10% formalin solutionimmediately. The development and features of external genitalia of these fetuses as well as their sexdifferentiation were then examined. In externally indifferentiated fetuses, the cranial half of the body was cut away at the diaphragmatic level and serial sections, 6-micron thick, were prepared and the ovarian andtesticular differentiation was studied. Results showed that considering the development of the externalgenitalia, external sex differentiation occurs at 31 mm CRL in male fetuses and at 33 mm CRL in femalefetuses. Microscopic studies suggested that testicular tissue differentiation occurs at 23 mm CRL withformation of tunica albuginea and medullary cords. Ovarian tissue differentiation occurs at 38 mm CRL withestablishment of cortical and medullary regions.

Stress Hormone Responses to Hypoxemia in Preterm Goat Fetus

Fetal endocrinological responses to chronic hypoxemia are useful in elucidating the process of growth restriction at earlier stages of fetal development. The purpose of this study was to observe endocrinological responses to prolonged (24-h) non-acidemic hypoxemia in preterm goat fetuses. Fetal hormonal changes were examined in chronically instrumented goat fetuses at gestational day 96-102 (0....

Morphological differentiation of northern Morocco goat

Data from 183 animals raised in 61 flocks were collected to investigate the morphological characteristics of the Northern Morocco goat. Nine zoometric measures and seven combined indices were obtained. Three zones were defined  based on geo-climatic characteristics and environmental influences: Mediterranean, Atlantic and Dual. The morphological variables showed the absence of sexual dimorphism...

Morphological differentiation between two Moroccan goat breeds

The objective of this study was to identify morphological measurements that best distinguish Moroccan Barcha and Atlas goat breeds. Ten measurements (body weight - BW, body length - BL, heart girth - HG, withers height - WH, rump height - WH, back length - BAL, neck length - NL, head length - HL, ear length - EL, and ear width - EW) of 876 adult animals of both sexes (547 Barcha and 329 Atlas) ...

The two radicals, a-naphthyl-diphenylmethyl and a-naphthylxanthyl, were found to give a molecular weight less than that calculated for the monomolecular phase. Schlenk and Renning's" results show that a-naphthyl-biphenyl-phenylmethyl ...

FOXL2 Is a Female Sex-Determining Gene in the Goat

The origin of sex reversal in XX goats homozygous for the polled intersex syndrome (PIS) mutation was unclear because of the complexity of the mutation that affects the transcription of both FOXL2 and several long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). Accumulating evidence suggested that FOXL2 could be the sole gene of the PIS locus responsible for XX sex reversal, the lncRNAs being involved in transcripti...
