Characterization of Black Bengal bucks and does was performed in this study. A total of 50 goats of different aged were studied. The experiment was performed in Black Bengal bucks and does at 1 day and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age for measuring different parameters such as body length, heart girth, wither height, hip height, fore and hind leg length, head length and width, head length and wi...

A total of 120 ejaculates from six adult Black Bengal bucks were studied to determine the semen attributes and evaluate their fertility. The various semen attributes of fresh semen were volume, sperm concentration, mass motility, live spermatozoa and normal spermatozoa percentage. All the semen attributes differed significantly (P<0.05) except normal spermatozoa percentage between the bucks. A ...

the study was undertaken to elucidatethe beneficial effects of goat follicular fluid (gff) added to maturation and culture media on in vitro maturation, fertilization and post-fertilization development of oocytes in black bengal goats. follicular fluid and oocytes were collected from slaughter house goat’s ovaries using the aspiration technique. media were prepared using tcm-199 supplemented wi...

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are single transmembrane cell-surface receptors, which play a significant role in the innate immune system. Lysozyme is abundant in the body fluid and it is considered as a non-specific bactericidal substance. Serum immunoglobulin levels provide key information on the humoral immune status of the animals. The aim of the present investigation is to find out the polymor...

Carcass quality of JamunaparixBlack Bengal (JBB), Black Bengal selected for growth (SBB) and random-bred (RBB) wethers of 1 year of age was studied. There was no significant difference between JBB and SBB in pre-slaughter traits and carcass characteristics, except height at wither and dressing percentage which were significantly higher in JBB than in SBB, and muscle fiber diameter which was sig...

The glycaemic index (GI) and the triacylglycerol response were measured in thirty non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients given 50 g portions of five different conventional Indian meals containing semolina (Triticum aestivum) cooked by two different methods, or combinations of semolina and pulse (black gram dhal (Phaseolus mungo), green gram dhal (Phaseolus aureus) or Bengal gram dhal ...

Accumulated five years data on 197 kids of 15 Black Bengal bucks in the nucleus breeding flock of Black Bengal goats were analyzed for the study of production traits. The traits considered were birth weight, weight at every 3month interval up to 12-month, semen characteristics and milk yield. Semen parameters were evaluated from 450 ejaculates of 15 Black Bengal bucks collected twice a week by ...

The genetic relation among different populations and breeds of goats in Bangladesh was studied using 15 microsatellite markers. A total of 181 goat samples36 from Black Bengal of western part (BBW), 39 from Black Bengal of central part (BBC), 40 from Black Bengal of Hilly region (BBH), 28 from exotic breeds (JAM) and 39 from crossbred (CRW) were genotyped. The allele number per locus ranged fro...
