raeini breed is the most productive cashmere goat in iran. helminthes infections cause major economiclosses globally to the livestock industries and farming communities. the objective of this study was todetermine the seasonal prevalence and intensity of eimeria and gastrointestinal helminth parasitic infectionsin raeini goats in iran. a total of 438 faecal samples were randomly taken from clin...

in this research, in order to describe milk production traits lactation mahabadi goat breed, seven statistical functions were fitted using 1665 milk production traits records and 833 body weight records. the milk production traits were milk yield, fat percent, fat yield, protein percent, protein yield, lactose percent and snf percent. these records have been recorded on 123 goats during years o...

the follicle arrangement and secondary to primary follicle ratio (s/p) were studied in the ‎skin of nine male and nine female markhoz goats breed from one week to 16 weeks of age. the ‎skin samples were taken from mid-side area of each animal in nine stages every other week. the ‎follicles were arranged in groups, predominantly including three primary and several ‎secondary follicles. each prim...

This study was conducted to collect comprehensive identification about Markhoz goat population and to simulate past dynamics of the population under its living conditions.Census data of the population size and the required parametersfor the simulation modelwere obtained frompublished data or were collected in its habitat in the last 3 years. In this study, past population dynamics and expected ...

The FecB, a mutation in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor IB (BMPR-IB) gene, which increases the fecundity of Booroola Merino sheep, and FecGH, a mutation in the Growth and Differentiation Factor 9 (GDF9), which affects the fecundity of Cambridge and Belclare sheep in a dose sensitive manner, were analyzed as candidate genes associated with the prolificacy in Rayini goats. These polymorph...

Securigera securidaca (Fabaceae) or goat pea is growing wild in West Asia, Europe and Africa as an annual herb. In Persian, it is called “Gandeh Talkheh”. The seeds of goat pea are applied in the traditional medicine to treat different dysfunctions e.g., hyperlipidemia and hypertension. This study was done at altitude of 2100 m above sea level. The effects of dietary Securigera securidaca seed ...

Growth hormone (GH) has an effect on a broad variety of physiological parameters such as lactation, reproduction, growth and metabolism. Thus, the aim of this study was to detect GH gene polymorphism and its association with breeding values of production and reproduction traits in Raini Cashmere goat. Breeding values were estimated using records on 26731 Raini Cashmere goats. To study GH gene p...

the fecb, a mutation in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor ib (bmpr-ib) gene, which increases the fecundity of booroola merino sheep, and fecgh, a mutation in the growth and differentiation factor 9 (gdf9), which affects the fecundity of cambridge and belclare sheep in a dose sensitive manner, were analyzed as candidate genes associated with the prolificacy in rayini goats. these polymorph...

this study investigated the effects of five levels of galanin on plasma concentrations of growth hormone, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and milk protein in dairy goat breed was sannan. 15 breeds of dairy goats sannan all about the same age and weight were selected for this study and were randomly divided into five treatments (three replicates per treatment). levels of the hormone injection of ga...
