The weighing records of 18 crossbred females with average live weight of 14.7 ± 3.14 kg were analyzed to study the relationship of the growth of crossbred hair sheep with some zoometric measures. The weight was established and took the measures thoracic perimeter, cannon perimeter, body length, neck length, hip amplitude, ischial amplitude, withers height and croup height. All parameters were s...

In the present study a deterministic bio-economic model was used to estimate economic values for reproduction traits (conception rate, twining rate and litter size), production traits (body weight of kid sold at 6.5 months, annual cashmere weight, body weight of doe and annual milk yield) and longevity (survival of doe, survival of kid until weaning and survival of kid until sale age at 6.5 mon...

The main movement of the temporomandibular joint of dogs and cats is in vertical dimensions (opening and closing the mouth). An objective evaluation of the vertical mandibular range of motion (vmROM) may favor early diagnosis of a number of conditions affecting the joint mobility. vmROM, corresponding to the maximum interincisal opening, was measured in 260 dogs and 127 cats anesthetized betwee...

Meat quality and cut yield of pigs slaughtered between 100 and 150kg live weight were evaluated. Pigs (417 Agroceres PIC barrows and gilts) were fed a daily allowance of 2.8kg per head from 80kg until 100.71±0.85, 118.58±0.99, 134.07±1.18 or 143.90±1.24kg live weight. Seventy-one pigs were used for the evaluation of primal and subprimal cuts. There was no interaction between sex and slaughter w...

Background: Protected calcium salts-fatty acid-amino acid supplement contains high-density of energy that can be used as cattle feed. This study aimed to test the efficacy supplements in growth rate young Ongole crossbred bulls. Methods: Thirty bulls (345±14 kg; live weight±SEm) were ranked and blocked based on liveweight randomly allotted one three levels (A: null 0 g/kg; B: 0.3 g/kg C: 0.6 LW...

The combination of intermediate-dose cyclophosphamide (ID-CTX) and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) fails to mobilize peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) in approximately 20% of treated patients with multiple myeloma (MM).In this cohort study, patients with MM underwent PBSC mobilization with either an ID-CTX plus G-CSF plus recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) regimen (72 pati...

HHKV includes 4 herbal plants. In this study, we used an extract from HHKV for the rats and mice orally. All mice were divided into three groups, group 1: drinking HHKV at a dose of 2 g/kg body weight/day, group 2: drinking water, group 3: drinking Giloba at a dose of 2 mg/kg body weight/day. All rats divided into four groups, two controls receiving drinking water or receiving Giloba at a dose ...

Morphometric characterization provides baseline information for initiating population’s improvement. Thus, the study aims to investigate variations of morphometric traits in five indigenous chickens of Bhutan. A total of 122 adult female birds belonging; Seim (Red Jungle-fowl type), Yuebjha Narp (Black), Khuilay (Naked neck), Phulom (Frizzle) and Shekheni (Short-legged) were included for live w...

This study evaluated the effects of live yeast (LY, Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, immune function, antioxidant status and intestinal morphology broilers. A total 224, 1 day-old broilers were assigned 4 treatments (7 replications, 8 chicks each) fed a basal diet control group (CTR); antibiotic (CTC) diets with chlortetracycline at 75 mg/kg; LY-1 LY-2 gr...

BACKGROUND Whether testosterone treatment has benefits on body composition over and above caloric restriction in men is unknown. We hypothesised that testosterone treatment augments diet-induced loss of fat mass and prevents loss of muscle mass. METHODS We conducted a randomised double-blind, parallel, placebo controlled trial at a tertiary referral centre. A total of 100 obese men (body mass...
