The goal of this paper is to present Yabloesque versions of Grelling’s and Zwicker’s paradoxes concerning the notions of “heterological” and “hypergame” respectively. We will offer counterparts of these paradoxes that do not seem to involve self-reference or vicious circularity.

Goat is a domesticated small ruminant, reared by farmers across the country primarily for meat production. Productivity of goat often low, which could be related to several genetic and non-genetic factors. A field study was carried out characterize, evaluate estimate effect factors on hill kids during December, 2015 August 2016 in different eco-zones Rolpa district, mid-west Nepal. Altogether15...

Lice have been described on goats in commercial farming systems in South Africa but not from flocks on communal grazing. During a longitudinal survey on the causes of goat kid mortality, conducted in Jericho district, North West Province, lice were collected from communally grazed indigenous goats. These lice were prepared for and viewed by scanning electron microscopy, and micro-morphological ...

Atresia of the distal ileum concurrent with ileocaecal valve agenesis is one of the rare types of intestinal atresia with very few reports in the literature. We herein present a case of type II distal ileal atresia, ileocaecal valve agenesis and volvulus of the ileum and the terminal jejunum with a history of depression, anorexia and failure to pass meconium. On necropsy, volvulus of the ileum ...

This study was performed to determine the effects of different levels of chromium methionine (Cr-Met)supplementation on growth performance, meat oxidative stability and ruminal metabolites in male kids. Thirty-two male Mahabadi goat kids, with an average initial body weight (BW) of 22 ± 2 kg at 4 months of age, were allocated in a completely randomized design with four treatments: control witho...

The data presented here on the oxygen tension in the maternal and fetal bloods entering and leaving the placenta of the goat were obtained as a part of a wider investigation of the oxygen supply to the fetal kid. As the first step in the program we estimated the rate at which blood reaches the uterus of the goat at selected stages in gestation and the arterio-venous oxygen difference across tha...
