Genetic and Economic Evaluation of Progeny Testing Selection Programs with Different Levels Artificial Insemination Milk Recording for Breeding Khuzestani Buffalo

Immature stages of Anopheles bellator and of An. argyritarsis were found in artificial containers. The great number of on-returnable containers now produced, may be playing an important role in the increase in the number of available breeding places for culicid mosquitoes.

As for the entire Amazon Region, malaria continues to be a major health public problem in Roraima that presented an Annual Parasitic Index of 85.4 in 2005, the highest in Brazil. Information on anopheline breeding sites is an essential component in malaria control strategies. Aiming to contribute to the limited knowledge on anopheline immature forms in Roraima, collections and breeding site obs...

This study was conducted in order to compare the hornwort aquatic plant (Ceratophyllum demersum) with an artificial filter for purification in a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS). At first, the fluctuation of nitrogen components of the water reuse system equipped with artificial filtration was evaluated. Experiments were performed during three months. The hornwort aquatic plant was collect...

Abstract With the development of high-throughput technologies, biology has become a large-scale and data-rich field, especially for genomics phenomics. Concurrent with this expansion in availability their use livestock sectors accordingly increased. This occurred most notably field animal breeding, where technologies hold promise as means more efficiently connecting phenotypes pedigree to drive...
