The productivity of Glossina austeni Newst., maintained on lop-eared rabbits, has been calculated by Jordan & Curtis (1968a). The distinction was made between colonies in the " expanding phase ", when all female offspring produced by the colony are added to the breeding stock and growth is exponential, and the "stationary phase", when sufficient offspring are retained to keep the colony at cons...

Haemonchus contortus isolates were collected from goats of five locations with different climatic characteristics in Guadeloupe archipelago. They were investigated for morphology, morphometrics and allozyme diversity after passage in immunosuppressed lambs using long acting corticoids. The basic aim of the work was to construct a synthetic strain in laboratory conditions which was representativ...

The history, origin and characteristics of the South African Boer breed of goats are reviewed. The development was carried out by a handful of farmers in the Eastern Cape, particularly in the district of Somerset East. The prototype for the breed was selected from several existing breeds of goats in South Africa in order to achieve the present functional characteristics and type. The Boer goat ...

The infectivity of Schistosoma bovis cercariae administered orally was evaluated in Sahelian goats. Compared to the percutaneous route, a single massive oral dose resulted in a worm burden and in fecal egg excretion reduced by one-half. Surprisingly, tissue egg counts were increased by more than 4-fold. Fecundity of individual female schistosomes was, therefore, markedly increased. When infecti...

OBJECTIVE An experiment was conducted to determine the relationship between the KAP11.1 and the regulation wool fineness. METHODS In previous work, we constructed a skin cDNA library and isolated a full-length cDNA clone termed KAP11.1. On this basis, we conducted a series of bioinformatics analysis. Tissue distribution of KAP11.1 mRNA was performed using semi-quantitative reverse transcripti...

The luxury sector is characterised by several critical success factors, including 'premium quality'. Although quality management (QM) has been deeply studied in recent years, few authors explicitly addressed QM with regard to industry as a whole, let alone the idiosyncrasies of Italian approach luxury. contribution present study twofold: 1) first all, it introduces novel and rigorous research p...
