A 17-weeks study was conducted to observe the effect of feeding solvent extracted karanj (Pongamia glabra vent) seed cake (SKC) and alkali processed solvent extracted karanj seed cake (AKC) on various haematological parameters and overall body weight gains in goat kids. Twenty non-descript male kids were randomly divided into fi ve treatment groups viz., T 1 (control), T 2 , T 3 , T 4 and T 5 c...

CS: Well – let me say first off a couple of things: What I expected to happen in my life, never happened, and what happened was not what I had expected. I fully expected while I was growing up, that I would have kids and a family. I was married but I put off the decision to have kids for too long and when it finally came time to have them, I found that I could not conceive. The subsequent infer...

Many kids describe their perception of programming to be “hard and boring.” Computational Thinking, including programming, is considered by many to be an important skill for the 21 century workforce. However, in order for kids to get interested in Computational Thinking is it essential to understand why kids perceive programming to be hard, i.e., to understand cognitive challenges, and why kids...

Present study was carried out to study the eff ect of solid state fermentation (SSF) biomass on growth performance of Surti growing kids. Fourteen kids (4-7 months age) weighing around 9 kg, were randomly divided in two groups of 7 each. All the kids were fed rations containing 50 % jowar straw and 50% compound concentrate mixture. Animal of group 1 served as control and were off ered TMR (tota...

the effects of replacement of alfalfa hay with pistachio by-product (pb) at 0, 25, 50, and 75% (dm basis) on the ruminal parameters, dry matter intake (dmi) of female rayini goats, after kidding, and on the live weight gain (lwg) of their kids were investigated. five single-bearing female rayini goats each with a single kid were employed in each level of replacement. the basal diet contained ba...

Neonatal mortality occurring within 14 days of birth was recorded in sheep and goats in Jordan during 2000−2001. Post-mortem examination of 155 lambs and kids that died in the neonatal period indicated that 120 (77.4%) of lambs’ and kids’ deaths were due to infectious causes, another seven (4.5%) died of a combination of infectious and non-infectious causes and 18 (11.6%) died because of non-in...

Kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) show promise as a competitive technology for astronomical observations over a wide range of wavelengths. We are interested in comparing the fundamental limitations to the sensitivity of KIDs with that of transition edge sensors (TESs) at millimeter wavelengths, specifically over the wavelengths required for studies of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). We...

The present work was aimed at evaluating the effects of maternal exposure to potassium cyanide (KCN) during lactation in goats. Twenty-seven lactating female goats were orally dosed with 0 (control), 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0 mg KCN/kg body weight/day from lactation days 0 to 90. After this period, all male kids and one mother from each group were killed for a pathological study. Cyanide treatment promo...
