Although sheep (Ovis aries) have been one of the most exploited domestic animals in Estonia since the Late Bronze Age, relatively little is known about their genetic history. Here, we explore temporal changes in Estonian sheep populations and their mitochondrial genetic diversity over the last 3000 years. We target a 558 base pair fragment of the mitochondrial hypervariable region in 115 ancien...

Serum lysozyme is widely known for its immuno-protective action. The level is an index of macrophage function and this reflects the status of Reticulo-endothelial (RE) system in the body. It is a ubiquitous bacteriolytic enzyme present in the body fluids and tissues. It acts as an important antimicrobial component in the serum and body fluids. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to dete...

Abstract. For breeding work in order to increase productivity indicators sheep, it is necessary use the most informative exterior parameters. This dictates need develop new approaches assessing phenotypic Purpose. Development of parameters for live assessment meat sheep Dzhalginskiy merino breed and study their significance using method principal components. Scientific novelty. We have proposed...

The objective of the present study was to detect polymorphism in follicle stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) and beta subunit of follicle stimulating hormone (FSHβ) genes and their relation to litter size and body weight trait in Baluchi, Iran black and Arman sheep breeds. PCR-RFLP technique using ACCI and HinfI enzyme treatments employed to detection of polymorphism in FSHβ marker site but de...

SELF-GOVERNANCE AMONG MANHATTAN BANKS, 1840-1980

Electrocardiography (ECG) is one of the non-invasive, inexpensive diagnostic techniques to detect the spread of the cardiac impulses. The electrocardiographic parameters have the greatest value in recognizing and diagnosing arrhythmias in animals. Different disease conditions lead to changes in the electrolyte balance [1]. The majority of arrhythmias and conduction disturbances can be detected ...
