This research aimed to compare the growth performance of Ongole Grade (PO) cattle in Purwodadi Dalam and Wawasan villages. was conducted from December 2019 January 2020 at People's Animal Husbandry Center, Village Village, Tanjungsari District, South Lampung Regency, Province. study used a survey method (purposive sampling), using primary secondary data. The observed variables were birth weight...

Though normal antlers are branched and bilaterally symmetrical, male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) sometimes develop malformed antlers because of various reasons. As management for antler quality has grown more popular in recent years, there has been concern that spike-on-one-side (SOOS) antler configuration has a genetic cause. We hypothesized that the majority of SOOS antlers are...

Widespread anthelmintic resistance in small ruminants has necessitated alternative means of gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) control. The objective was to determine the effectiveness of copper oxide wire particles (COWP) administered as a gelatin capsule or in a feed supplement to control GIN in goats. In four separate experiments, peri-parturient does (n=36), yearling does (n=25), weaned kids (...

Three types of cattle (Angus x Hereford yearling steers, Charolais x British breed steer calves and Hereford heifer calves) were evaluated for their response to different feeding systems utilizing high moisture corn, corn silage and soybean meal as major feed ingredients. Feeding ing systems for steers included: A = 85% concentrate; B = 40% concentrate; C = two phase, with switch from all corn ...

Data associated with 1,531 Herefords shown at the National Western Stock Show at Denver from 1978 to 1984 were used to estimate heritability and repeatability of show-ring placing (SRP) and genetic, environmental and phenotypic correlations. The correlations were those between: SRP and individual measurements (IM) taken at the time of show and available to the judges, SRP and parents' SRP and I...

OBJECTIVE To compare financial returns between pinhooked yearling horses (ie, bought and trained for approximately 5 months with the goal of selling the horse at "2-year-olds in training" sales) that had mild or severe training failure and horses that had planned versus nonplanned training failure. ANIMALS 40 Thoroughbred pinhooked yearling horses. PROCEDURE During the period from September...

On farm monitoring of central highland goats were conducted in Sekota district of the Amhara regional state, Ethiopia to evaluate the growth performances under the traditional management practices. On farm feeding trial was also conducted to see the feeding performances and carcass characteristics of Central Highland goat types. Data used for the study was collected from randomly selected on-fa...

A 2-yr study was conducted using 200 long yearling steers/yr (436 ± 30 kg) to determine the effect on performance and economics of sorting by BW at feedlot entry and feeding 200 mg/steer of Optaflexx (OPT) daily for the last 28 d. At feedlot entry, steers were allotted into 1 of 4 treatments in a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement: sorted or unsorted with or without OPT. Sorted steers were placed into...

Effects of inbreeding of animal and dam on estimates of genetic parameters and predictions of breeding values for five productive and reproductive traits of Piedmontese cattle were studied. Traits were (a) age at first insemination, (b) age at first calving, (c) 120-day weight, (d) yearling weight of males, and (e) yearling weight of females. Data for animals born from 1970 to 1995 were used. I...
