The data on 6772 growth records of Sirohi goats maintained at All India Coordinated Research Projecton Sirohi goat at Livestock Research Station, Vallabhnagar, Udaipur, India, and recorded between 2004 and 2016, were analysed to study the growth related traits and their genetic control. The overall least squares means of body weight at birth, W3M, W6M, W9M, W12M, were 2.34 ± 0.03, 12.44 ± 0.19,...

The present study aimed to analyze the live weight (LW) and some body measurements estimate LW of lambs in five different meat-type sheep breeds reared same flock under intensive conditions. A total 202 head lambs, including both genders Kivircik (K), Bandirma (B), Karacabey Merino (KM), Hampshire Down x crossbreed (HM), Ramlic (R), were conducted this study. Birth weights ranged between 3.94-5...

BACKGROUND Approximately ten percent of patients placed on mechanical ventilation during acute illness will require long-term ventilator support. Unfortunately, despite rehabilitation, some will never be liberated from the ventilator. A method of predicting weaning outcomes for these patients could help conserve resources and minimize frustrating failed weaning attempts for this population. The...

BACKGROUND Therapist-implemented protocols have been used to extubate or wean patients in the ICU setting. Barlow Respiratory Hospital (BRH) functions as a center for weaning patients from prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) in the post-ICU setting of a long-term acute-care (LTAC) facility. A therapist-implemented patient-specific (TIPS) weaning protocol was developed at BRH to standardize w...

Embryo cryopreservation is a valuable tool for maintaining genetic variability and preserving breeds lines, allowing to assess the response selection enabling diffusion. This study aimed evaluate impact of rederivation by embryo vitrification transfer procedures on growth reproductive traits in paternal rabbit line selected average daily gain from weaning (28 days old) fattening (63 old). The r...
