The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the type of birth, the sex of the kids, the duration of the birth (categorized as short, medium, or long), and the level of maternal care (categorized as low, medium, or high) on the behavioral variables of kids during the first hour after birth. The parturitions of 78 primiparous goats of Murciano-Granadina breed (46 single-birth and 32 twin-...

We show that the response, frozen and semifreddo fractional susceptibility functions of certain real-analytic unimodal families, at Misiurewicz parameters for differentiation index $0\le\eta<1/2$, are holomorphic on a disk radius greater than one. This is step towards solving conjecture Baladi Smania, in case aforementioned functions.

searching the content for the kids is different from searching for adults. The needs of the kids are different and the way they search the content on the web is also different. There are a lot of issues that needs to be taken care of while searching for the kids. Our aim in this paper is to develop an interface that can help parents, teachers and kids to search the web in a secure way and make ...

Investigations were conducted on one group of White Improved (WI) kids and three groups of WI crossbred kids with various share of the Boer (B) genes: 1/4B3/4WI, 1/2B1/2WI and 3/4B1/4WI. Eighteen male kids were included in each group. Up to 20 kg life weight the kids of all groups had free access to their dams’ milk and to solid feed from day 14 of life. Crossbreds with 25, 50 and 75% of the B ...

The growing interest in reducing methane (CH4) emissions from ruminants by dietary means is constrained by the complexity of the microbial community in the rumen of the adult animal. The aim of this work was to study whether intervention in early life of goat kids has an impact on methane emissions and the microbial ecosystem in the rumen and whether the effects persist postweaning. Sixteen doe...

The effect of maize grain supplementation on the resilience and resistance of browsing Criollo goat kids against gastrointestinal nematodes was evaluated. Five-month-old kids (n = 42), raised worm-free, were allocated to five groups: infected + not supplemented (I-NS; n = 10), infected + maize supplement at 108 g/d (I-S108; n = 8), maize supplement at 1% of body weight (BW) (I-S1%; n = 8), maiz...

Three experiments were conducted including 180 Majorera kids. In the first experiment, the effect of use of lyophilized colostrum vs. frozen colostrum on immunoglobulin G (IgG) blood serum concentration was evaluated. Kids (n = 40) received the same management and IgG mass [3368 mg/kg of body weight (BW)] during the colostrum feeding period. The IgG in blood serum of kids from the lyophilized c...

We prove that almost every non-regular real quadratic map is Collet-Eckmann and has polynomial recurrence of the critical orbit (proving a conjecture by Sinai). It follows that typical quadratic maps have excellent ergodic properties, as exponential decay of correlations (Keller and Nowicki, Young) and stochastic stability in the strong sense (Baladi and Viana). This is an important step to get...
