Ten male Nubian kids, 6 months old, were used to investigate the effect of castration on production performance and some blood metabolites (glucose, total cholesterol, total protein, albumin, globulin, urea and uric acid). Five males were castrated using Burdizzo method, while equal number and weight of animals remained intact. The kids were individually accommodated and fed ad libitum on a con...

The aim was to investigate the growth of certain non-carcass components and hind limb tissues using allometric coefficients in Saanen goat kids reared under natural artificial systems slaughtered at 80 days or 120 age. 42 were used study [(24 (SA-80: 12 kids, SA-120: kids), 18 9 kids)] for determination indicated parameters. effect rearing system not significant weights tissue compositions, whi...

The heterogenous nature of breast tumours (Hawkins et al., 1977; Silfversward et al., 1980) complicates the application of oestrogen receptor assay results to the management of breast cancer. Much effort has therefore been expended on the development of histochemical assays to detect receptors in tissue sections, initially with oestrogenprotein conjugates (e.g. Pertschuk et al., 1979; Lee, 1978...

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of mineral supplementation on post-parturient complication in pregnant goats and perinatal mortality in their kids. The study revealed increased in survival percentage of kids and reduced post parturient complication during kidding in mineral supplemented group than non supplemented group.

the present study was carried out to determine the effects of supplementing chromium-methionine(cr-met) on performance and carcass traits in mahabadi goat kids. thirty-two male kids (averageinitial bw of 22 ± 2 kg, 4-5mo) were used in a completely randomized design of four treatments vis.:1) control (with no cr suppl.), 2) 500ug cr suppl., 3) 1000ug cr suppl.and 4) 1500ug cr suppl.as cr-met/ani...

The prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection among lambs and goat kids in Serbia was examined. The animals were grouped according to age, i.e., up to 30 days and from 31 to 90 days. The infection was diagnosed using three coprological procedures. Sheather’s sugar flotation was employed to determine the concentration of oocysts. Modified Ziehl-Neelsen technique and modified Kinyoun technique were...
