This study investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with calcium salts of fatty acids using 48 Afshari ewes randomly allocated to four treatments. All groups used in flushing period and only the source of energy were different between rations. The ewes were divided into four groups: A-barely grain; group B-received 5% of CSFA with source of flaxseed oil (w3); group C-received 5% of CS...

Parasitoid-induced mortality of house fly, Musca domestica L., pupae and parasitoid progeny emergence by four species of pteromalid parasitoids, Muscidifurax raptor Girault & Sanders, M.zaraptor Kogan & Legner, Spalangia cameroni Perkins and S.endius Walker, were determined for a 24 h exposure period using parasitoid: host ratios ranging from 1:2 to 1:50. When the number of parasitoids was held...

at 27 and 32 1C, and 57% relative humidity. Initial population level and temperature, and their interaction, were significant for the number of F1 progeny and feeding damage (Po0.01). A strong positive correlation was also found between initial population size, number of F1 progeny, percentage of insect-damaged kernels (IDKs) and feeding damage. The impact of R. dominica on the milling quality ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the factors underlying differences in population size and composition between segmentally homologous neuronal lineages. The segmental median neuroblasts (MNBs) of grasshoppers are identified stem cells that each produce a midline group of neurons. We traced the embryonic development of the group in two disparate segments, counting MNB progeny and profi...

Efficiency in the use of genetic variability, whether existing or created, increases when properly explored and analysed. Incorporation of biotechnology into breeding programs has been the general practice. The challenge for the researcher is the constant development of new and improved cultivars. The aim of this experiment was to select progenies with superior characteristics, whether or not c...

First lactation production records of 7,825 Mehsana buffaloes, sired by 200 sires maintained at DudhsagarResearch and Development Association, Dudhsagar Dairy, over a period 25 years (1989-2013), wereutilised for estimation breeding value the first milk yield using BLUP - Univariate sire model andanimal WOMBAT software. The study aimed to find out optimum number daughters that maybe sufficient ...

42 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol. 3, No. , January 2009 Based on its pedigree, HoCP 00-950 (Reg. No. CV-135, PI 654823) sugarcane (Saccharum spp.), is a complex hybrid whose genomic makeup consists largely of genes contributed by S. offi cinarum L. and S. spontaneum L., with minor input from S. barberi Jeswiet and S. sinense Roxb. amend. Jeswiet. Modern sugarcane cultivars such as HoCP 00...

While thinking about traditional action-learning, I began to wonder what philosophy Reg Revans espoused back in the 40's in the coal mines of Wales and England. Perhaps "those who do the job are the best people to solve the problems" would have been his catch-cry. Interested in action-learning's recent progeny, anticipatory action-learning (AAL), I began to explore my own philosophy and values ...
