Goat is a domesticated small ruminant, primarily reared by farmers for meat production, across the country. The productivity of goat often low, which could be related to several genetic and non-genetic factors. A field study was carried out characterize, evaluate estimate effect factors on productive reproductive performance hill goats in different eco- zones at Rolpa district Lumbini province....

Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effects gallic acid (GA) on frozen-thawed goat spermatozoa. Four Honamli bucks were used at their breeding season, and ejaculates collected by an electroejaculator. Mixed semen divided into following four groups: control (0 mM), low (L; 1 medium (M; 2 high (H; 4 mM) concentration GA. All groups frozen thawed in a water bath for spermatological...

In this study, breeding objective traits were identified, and alternative schemes simulated evaluated for two goat populations. The as follows: body size, twinning ability kidding interval (KI) Arab goats mothering Oromo goats. selection criteria six-month weight (6mw, kg), litter size at birth (LSB), weaning (LSW) KI (days). (1) Scheme 1: 2 years of buck use 10% proportion, (2) 2: 15% (3) 3: 3...

Sapera goat is a dairy resulting from cross between Saanen buck and an Ettawah doe. These small ruminants are reared by rural households for poverty reduction undernutrition prevention. Breeding of through artificial insemination (AI) technique was expected to accelerate the increase in population. Unfortunately, frozen semen not available yet. This study aims determine effect distance straw li...

The New World genus Lepidosina Marshall & Buck gen. n. is described including nine new and two previously described species: L. angusticercus Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Caribbean, Central and South America), L. argentinensis Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Argentina), L. cubensis Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Cuba), L. evanescens Marshall & Buck sp. n. (Central and South America), L. gibba (Spuler) comb. n. (Fl...

In this study, the effect of buck presence on serum progesterone, estrogen and FSH levels during premating in 20 female Akkeçi goats was investigated. The were assigned to two groups as follows: control group (n = 10) treatment 10). At beginning first blood samples (day 0) taken from each goat kept isolated away bucks at mating season. day 13, placed a pen next to, that order provide effect. Se...

-The simulation of a nonlinear controller with power sharing control capabilities for a wind energy system double input buck boost–buck boost converter is presented. A multiple-input DC–DC converter is useful to obtain the regulated output voltage from input power source such as a wind array. Double input DC-DC buck boost converter principle of operation and the equations describing the convert...

Data on growth and milk production from farm records of a community based goat improvement project in Meru Central and South districts in the Eastern Highlands of Kenya were analysed to determine growth parameters and milk production potential of Toggenburg goats and their crosses with local goats. Least Squares means and their standard errors for birthweight (kg), were 3.6 ± 0.16, 3.2 ± 0.19, ...
