The use of polymorphic markers in breeding programmes could make selection more accurate and efficient. A total of 324 individuals from six Iranian cattle populations (Sarabi, Golpayegani, Sistani, Taleshi, Mazandarani, Dashtiyari), F1 Golpayegani × Brown Swiss and Iranian buffalo populations were genotypedfor the Pit-1 HinfI and leptin Sau3AI polymorphisms by the polymerase chain reactio...

This study was undertaken to estimate the genetic parameters for some reproduction traits in Sistani beef cattle. The data set consisted of 1489 records of number of insemination, calving, and insemination dates in different calving was used. Reproduction traits including calving interval (CI), gestation length (GL), days open (DO), calving to first service (CTFS), first service to conception (...

Background IgE mediated cow’s milk allergy (CMA) is a frequent disease in pediatric population, and challenge tests are considered gold standard in its diagnosis, although its use is limited in clinical practice. An appropriated anamnesis and laboratorial analysis are the most frequent and feasible used tools. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of these practices in IgE mediated CMA...

this study was performed to investigate two polymorphic sites from cyp19 gene (pvuii and mspi) and one polymorphic site from erα gene (snabi) in four cattle breeds including mazandarani, taleshi, sistani and simmental. in overall 278 samples for cyp19 and 206 samples for erα marker sites were genotyped using polymerase chain reactionsingle-strand conformation polymorphism (pcr-rflp) procedure. ...

background: congenital heart disease (chd) is the most common congenital anomaly in newborns. this study was performed to determine the live birth incidence of chd by ethnicity and sex in gorgan, northern iran. methods: in this longitudinal, hospital-based study, 18162 live births in dezyani hospital in gorgan, north of iran, were screened for chd, from 2007 through 2009. clinical examination, ...

the polymorphism in exon three of fabp4 gene and its association with growth traits of 45 sistani (n=30) and dashtiari (n=15) cattle were investigated. dna extraction from the whole blood was performed and its quality was determined by electrophoresis of one percent agarose gel. animal genotypes were determined based on polymerase chain reaction (pcr) products and their band size electrophorese...

background: the main objective of this study was to assess the malnutrition and some socio-economic related factors based on three ethnic groups among primary school children in north of iran in 2010 . methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out through multistage cluster random sampling on 5698 subjects (2505 fars-native, 2154 turkman, and 1039 sistani) in 112 schools. well-trained sta...

This study was performed to investigate two polymorphic sites from Cyp19 gene (PvuII and MspI) and one polymorphic site from ERα gene (SnaBI) in four cattle breeds including Mazandarani, Taleshi, Sistani and Simmental. In overall 278 samples for CYP19 and 206 samples for ERα marker sites were genotyped using polymerase chain reactionsingle-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) procedure. ...

A digital management system of cow diseases is presented in this paper, which based on standardization disease management framework. It can manage dairy cow disease from each stage including cow file creation, routine monitoring, disease prevention and control. Integrate electronic medical records was set up, which based on medical records include cow basic information and routine monitoring re...
