To investigate the relationship between chemical composition of meat from the carcass cuts and thewhole carcass, 48 nine-month-old randomly selected ram lambs of Ghezel and Mehraban (24 rams per breed)were used in a trial arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial experiment with two breeds and two feeding levels (high andlow), in a completely randomized design. After 80 days, all animals were slaughtered a...

the relationship between blood physiological attributes and carcass characteristics wasstudied in 40 randomly selected 8-month-old ram lambs of ghezel and mehraban (20 rams per breed)sheep. one day before slaughter, blood samples were obtained after a 24 hr fast. serum samples wereassayed for glucose, cholesterol, serum urea nitrogen (sun), total protein, albumin, triglycerides,creatinine, and ...

Improving reproduction of this breed will have a significant impact on the economic development of local farmers. Therefore, in the present study the effect of simultaneous use of estrus synchronization(controlled internal drug releasing (CIDR) and equine chorionic gonadotropin (...

This survey was carried out to determine the infection rate of Coenurus cerebralis in Urmia abattoir, West Azerbaijan, Iran. A total of 402 sheep heads were examined and the number of C. cerebralis cysts per each head was recorded. Thirty three sheep heads were examined each month during 12 months from 2006 to 2007. Of 402 heads, a number of 75 heads (18.65%) were infected with C. cerebralis. T...

Abstract. Tail fat content affects meat quality and varies significantly among different breeds of sheep. Ghezel (fat-tailed) Zel (thin-tailed) are two important Iranian local sheep with patterns storage. The current study presents the transcriptome characterization tail using RNA sequencing in order to get a better comprehension molecular mechanism lipid storage mentioned breeds. Seven (Zel = ...
