using melatoninin ewes of iran black breed, this study aimed to compare the reproduction and production performances in lambing program of two and three times per years for duration of two years. a hundred ewes allocated to two parallel groups: group a (ewes in three lambing managing system using melatonin) and group b (ewes in two lambing managing system without using melatonin). to induce the...

Powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe necator, is one of the most economically damaging diseases of grapevine throughout the world. This is the first molecular biology study on this fungus in Iran. The aims of the present study were (a) to analyse genetic diversity between isolates of E. necator fungus in four main grape production regions in Iran, i. e., Qazvin, Alamoot, Takestan and Shahriar and ...

Adams, James N. (University of South Dakota, Vermillion). Recombination between Nocardia erythropolis and Nocardia canicruria. J. Bacteriol. 88:865-876. 1964.-Nutritionally complementary auxotrophic mutants derived from Nocardia erythropolis did not yield prototrophic recombinants when progeny from mixed cultures or newly mixed strains were inoculated onto minimal medium. Similarly, complementa...

The adaptive significance of learning is supported by studies showing its positive effects on mating behaviour, but they rarely go beyond fertilization success. Here we studied how learning contributes to qualitative reproductive investment, by testing the hypothesis that mating in the context that predicts male appearance has positive effects on female reproductive investment compared with uns...

An experiment was conducted to assess the optimum nutrient requirement and ideal mating ratios for Alabio ducks for production of fertile eggs and hatchability under rural feeding management. A total of 135 forty weeks old females and 27 males were used in the study. They were fed on low (17.5%), medium (19.5%) and high (21.5%) crude protein (CP) in diets containing approximately 3050 kcal of m...

many of insects have re-mating behavoiur during their reproductive period. the re-mating phenomenons have been observed in many ladybirds, too. in current study, the change of proportion of male to female (sex ratio) was used in order to changing of possibility and times of re-mating in hippodamia variegata. in previous studies it has been indicated that males make up about 50% of this predator...

Background: Due to the seasonality reproduction of albino hamster (April to October in the Northern Hemisphere) and the need to produce blastocysts for research applications, producing and collecting blastocysts by natural mating in non-breeding season is complex in this species. In the present study in vivo blastocysts production and collection using super-ovulation and intrauterine inseminati...

Abstract This study was conducted to observe Bali cows’ primipara reproductive performance between natural mating and artificial insemination. Fifty cows owned by 44 farmers in Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, were used as the research sample at first mating; 19 subjected (NM) 31 insemination (AI). Farmer’s profile data, rearing system, (the age of puberty, mating, gestation...
