association of genetic polymorphism in the calpastatin (cast) gene with average daily gain was examined in iranian purebred kurdi sheep. the genotypes for cast were determined by the pcr-sscp method. blood samples were collected from 84 purebred kurdi sheep belonging to the kurdi breeding station located in the khorasan province, north-east of iran. extraction of genomic dna was based on the gu...

the objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of inbreeding on average daily gains and kleiber ratios in moghani sheep. traits included average daily gain from birth to 3 months (adg1), average daily gain from birth to 6 months (adg2), average daily gain from 3 months to 6 months (adg3), average daily gain from 3 months to 9 months (adg4), average daily gain from 3 months to ye...

this study highlights the costs and benefits of indigenous beef cattle fattening schemes in shinyanga urban and kishapu districts in tanzania. specifically, in this study the net profit (np) for fatteners between beef cattle fattening schemes has been determined. the schemes were divided into two main categories, scheme 1 in which the animals were fed on cottonseed hulls (cshl) based diets and ...

this study was investigate the effects of two levels of metabolism energy (me) and length of fattening periods on performance and growth characteristics of chalishtori male lambs. 64 ram lambs were weaning and intake diets with two levels of energy include: 2.5 and 2.3 mcal me/kg dm in 90 and 120 days fattening period. in this study used of completely random designs with 2×2 factorial methods (...

The aim of the research was to evaluate the influence of sex, breeding group, litter size and age of lambs when placed in lambing pens for their growth rate during rearing. The average daily gain of lambs was evaluated based on their weighing data each week after their placement into lambing pens. Lambs of Improved Valachian, Tsigai and Lacaune breed (n=26) had been gradually integrated to the ...
