The article presents the results of a biochemical and morphological analysis pure blood cross-bred sheep Edilbaevsky breed, born in different seasons year. parameters animals studied groups by us were within physiological norm, but there some differences between groups. It was found that redox processes body cross-breed group more intense than peers same group, which turn affected higher indica...

BACKGROUND The occurrence of Mannheimia species in healthy sheep has only been investigated to a very limited extend since the genus and its five named species were established. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the occurrence of haemolytic Mannheimia species in apparently healthy sheep originating from four sheep flocks in South-Western Norway. METHODS Typical beta-haemolytic Past...

MAŠKOVÁ E., PAULÍČKOVÁ I. (2006): PCR-based detection of cow’s milk in goat and sheep cheeses marketed in the Czech Republic. Czech J. Food Sci., 24: 127–132. A method based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) principle was validated for detecting cow’s milk in goat and sheep cheeses. DNA was isolated from the cheeses using the isolation kit Invisorb Spin Food I by Invitek Co., designed for ...

The present study was done to evaluate the breed, sex and sampling site influence on fat-tail and visceral fatty acid composition of five pure and cross bred lambs from three Iranian sheep breeds. Particularly, on the content of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids from two cut-able fat depots (fat-tail and visceral). All animals were managed and finished up together and received the same diet....

BACKGROUND Global left ventricular (LV) torsion declines with chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation (MR), which may accelerate the LV remodeling spiral toward global cardiomyopathy; however, it has not been definitively established whether this torsional decline is attributable to the infarct, the MR, or their combined effect. We tested the hypothesis that chronic "pure" MR alone reduces global...

This report describes an outbreak of purulent mandibular and/or maxillary osteomyelitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a sheep flock located in the Khuzestan province, Iran. Jaw bones of almost 100 out of 500 mature sheep in a flock became severely deformed with a variably sized firm swelling, without any signs of inflammation in the surrounding soft tissues. The affected animals showed an...

a population of a little over 4,000. The people of this village are pure Russians and obtain their livelihood chief!)7 by agriculture and sheep farming, a few only work outside. The fields cultivated by these people are at so great a distance from the village that it entails their absence from home for several days together, in consequence of which they are obliged to provide themselves for thi...

Image processing technique was used to compare udder morphological characteristics in two Iranian crossbred sheep populations including Ghezel-Arkhamerino, Moghani-Arkharmerino and a pure one that was Ghezel ewes. In addition, the resulted measurements were applied as independent variables for estimation of daily milk yield by regression models. Udder height of Ghezel was higher than Ghezel-Ark...

background: based on the information no research has been done on the identification and isolation of anaerobic fungi in the baloochi sheep’s rumen in the dry climate up to now. objectives: the purpose of this research was the separation and study of the appearance morphology of anaerobic fungi in the baloochi sheep’s rumen in sistan region. methods: the semi-defined medium environment was used...

This paper reviews research being undertaken by ILRI and collaborators to identify Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for resistance to gastrointestinal (GI) nematodes in the resistant East African Red Maasai sheep and in inbred strains of mice. Six F1 rams, crosses of Red Maasai (resistant) and Dorper (susceptible) sheep, were bred and then backcrossed to pure Red Maasai and Dorper ewes to produce ...
