This often involves “blanket” use of antibiotics across all cows to prevent the occurrence of mastitis durin...

in order to study of variation and relationships between yield and quality traits, 14 domestic populations of bitter vetch (vicia ervilia) were collected from different parts of lorestan province and sown in two separate experiments under irrigated and dry land farming system using randomized complete block design with three replications in khorramabad, iran during 2005 and 2006. data were coll...

As a more detailed continuation of a previous study, faecal samples for worm egg counts were collected per rectum from ten marked adult animals in selected flocks of goats, in each of six villages evenly spread out in the communal farming district of Okakarara in eastern Namibia. The study was conducted on a monthly basis from August 1999 to July 2000. Average faecal worm egg counts (FECs) were...

osmotic stress is one of the major factors that significantly reduce yields in dry areas. plants respond to this abiotic stress at physiological and molecular levels. many genes are induced under stress conditions by transcription factors. dehydration responsive element binding (dreb) protein is a subfamily of ap2/erf transcription factors which control expression of many osmotic stress-inducib...
