In this study, production, reproduction, management and economic parameters resulted from recording of 4 flocks with 1155 head of breeding ewes during annual cycle of production (August 2011 to August 2012) in extensive rearing system were used to determine the breeding objective and relative economic values for Dalagh sheep. To calculate the economic values for traits, the level of each trait ...

the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...

This research was carried out to investigate the heterogeneity of milk yield variance components in different production levels of holstein cattles. The first lactation milk yield records of 95945 Holstein cattles, which had calved in 651 herds through years 1991 to 2000, were used in this research. Data was collected by the Animal Breeding Center of Iran and adjusted for two-time milking per d...

      The present study aimed to estimate the genetic for parameters of biometric traits in Iranian Moghani-sheep breeds. The data set consisted 15115 biometric records from 3702 individual progenies of 499 male and 3203 female, involve for a 15 years period (1996 to 2011). obtained from Moghani sheep breeding and raising station. Variance components and genetic parameters were estimated using ...

Improvement of feed efficiency in dairy farming economically has a great importance. In this study, the genetic parameters of net energy efficiency and its relationships with milk yield, 3.2% fat corrected milk, body weight, gross income and income over feed costs were investigated, by the 2589 monthly records collected from the 723 lactating cows in the 3 herds. The different requirements of e...
