There is concern about potential antagonistic correlated responses due to intensive selection for scrapie-resistant haplotypes of the prion (PRNP) gene in sheep. The objective of the present research was to test for associations of PRNP haplotypes for codons 136, 154, and 171 with growth, carcass, and meat quality traits in an F2 Dorset x Romanov population (n = 415) segregating the 2 callipyge...

One of the greatest mysteries for most of the twentieth century was the fate of the Romanov family, the last Russian monarchy. Following the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, he and his wife, Alexandra, and their five children were eventually exiled to the city of Yekaterinburg. The family, along with four loyal members of their staff, was held captive by members of the Ural Soviet. According to ...

Abstract The physical and chemical properties structure of lamb fat are derived from the qualitative composition content saturated unsaturated fatty acids. Higher levels acid in sheep increase melting point yield a solid lard. Characteristic deposition carcass young is closely related to meat productivity nutritional value mutton. paper presents results prove influence genotype purebred Tsigai ...

In Exp. 1, ovulation rate was measured in three groups of Romanov ewes given two injections of 600 i.u. PMSG 3 weeks apart with the ewes intact (Group I, N = 8), a similar treatment with the ewes intact at the first injection and unilaterally ovariectomized at the second (Group II, N = 8), or unstimulated ewes which were hemispayed at the same time as Group II ewes (Group III, N = 6). In Exp. 2...

The relationships between genotype and placental traits, parity and litter weight (LW), and factors affecting these characteristics were investigated in this study. In total, 112 ewes (Romanov crossbred and local breeds) were utilized. One-way ANOVA was used for statistical comparison, and a Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationships between the variables. Significant differenc...
