abstract the goal of this survey is to prepare the dry land wheat atlas for zanjan province, according to the climate data. so we can recognize which areas are susceptible and to understand climate capabilities and limitations for dry land wheat. for reaching this purpose first raining and temperature datas of the research region were gathered and analyzed. at the first stage, proper according ...

A survey of existing atlases of the cat's brain has revealed a lack of coronal sections on the levels of the prefrontal cortex. On the other hand, neurophysiological and behavioral studies of this region have increased greatly in recent years. As the extent of coronal sections through the prefrontal cortex was seen to differ markedly even at separations of 1 mm, a stereotaxic atlas was made on ...

Introduction: To improve anatomical atlases, we tried to create a printable 3D atlas of rabbit's anatomy based on the Anaglyph. Methods: In this study, twenty white rabbits euthanized and dissected. All 3D images were reconstructed by means of "stereo photo maker (SPM®)" software. Results: By this atlas, users can easily understand nomenclature, the topography and, certainly, the transpo...

This study was conducted to evaluate maternal breed effects, direct breed effects, and individual heterosis on subsequent steer performance, carcass, and feed efficiency traits. This was a consecutive 2-yr trial using 158 steers. The same dam breeds, Angus (AN) and purebred Simmental (SM), were used both years. Also, the same AN and SM sires (n=11) were used both years. Steers were AN, SM, or A...

Computed tomography (CT) myelography is used occasionally in the diagnosis of cervical spondylomyelopathy, but the type of lesion found in large- versus giant-breed dogs using this modality has not been characterized. Our purpose was to report the frequency of compressive lesions in large- and giant-breed dogs with cervical spondylomyelopathy and imaged using CT myelography. Fifty-eight dogs we...

The objectives of this study were to develop breed-specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five pig breeds sequenced with Illumina's Genome Analyzer and to investigate their usefulness for breed assignment purposes. DNA pools were prepared for Duroc, Landrace, Large White, Pietrain and Wild Boar. The total number of animals used for sequencing was 153. SNP discovery was performed by ...

Ethiopia has the largest livestock population in Africa but the contribution of this resource to the economy is limited and yet the country is in poverty. Dairy development has a big role for the contribution of income generation and employment. Demand for dairy products seems to exceed supply in the country in general and the study area in particular. Hence, the situation of dairy production a...
