The purpose of this study was to determine the effect Barley Sprout Fodder (BSF) on milk production and composition Saanen goats Friesian ewes. Twenty does (1-year-old) twenty East ewes (1 5 years old), were selected for experiment, where each species divided into four treatment groups. Goat treatments consisted 0 (CRTL), 758 (BSF1), 1498 (BSF2) 2270 (BSF3) g wet BSF/d added an alfalfa/grass ha...

The Effect of Spray Solution Nutrition Elements on the amount Macro Healthy and Drought Oak Trees (Quercus brantii Lindl.) in Monj Region Chaharmahal Bakhtiari Province

The effect of carcass weight, age at slaughter and sex on some chemical components was evaluated in twenty-two Boutsiko lambs (twelve females and ten males). Chemical composition of meat was expressed as percentage of fat, protein, collagen and moisture content. Measures of the four chemical components were taken by carcass cuts included shoulder, leg, racks, kidney, rear flank, breast ribs and...

BACKGROUND Babesia ovis and Theileria ovis are among the important and main etiological agents causing ovine babesiosis and ovine theileriosis, causing severe economic losses among sheep and goats. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and molecular diagnosis of B. ovis and T. ovis in Lohi sheep at Livestock Experiment Station Bahadurnagar, Okara, Pakistan. METHODS The ...

p REVIOUS work at this laboratory has indicated that the short half-life isotopes '~4Na and 42K could be used in dilution experiments for the prediction of various body components such as fat-free tissue in live sheep (Lynch et al., 1965a). The use of this method appeared to contain an unacceptable error of prediction, particularly in the estimation of potassium space. This error might possibly...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of inbreeding on average daily gains and Kleiber ratios in Moghani sheep. Traits included average daily gain from birth to 3 months (ADG1), average daily gain from birth to 6 months (ADG2), average daily gain from 3 months to 6 months (ADG3), average daily gain from 3 months to 9 months (ADG4), average daily gain from 3 months to ye...
