the relationship between live body weight, body length, girth circumference, animal hight, upper, middle as well as lower width of fat-tail, fat-tail length, fat-tail gap length, fat-tail depth and fat-tail circumference along with fat-tail weight were determined using records of 731 loribakhtiari sheep. principal component and least square analyses were applied to solve the collinearity instab...

the objective followed in the present study was to survey the relationship between 18 body trait measurements (live weight, height at wither, paunch girth, neck diameter, body length, girth around the body, width of fat tail at above, below and midpoint of fat tail, fat tail length lowers right and left sides, fat tail gap length, fat tail depth at the above, below, and midpoint, and girth arou...

the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship among body weight and fat-tail measurements with fat-tail weight by using multiple regression and principal component analysis. the eleven characters includes, body weight, fat-tail length, fat-tail circumference, width and diameters in 3 position of upper, middle and lower before the slaughter, and also fat-tail weight after the s...

a crossbreeding experiment involving four iranian fat-tailed sheep breeds, namely kurdi (k), chaal (c), afshari (a) and sanjabi (s) was carried out to determine the ram breed effects on productivity of kurdi fat-tailed ewes (k) under extensive production system. a total of 475 kurdi ewes were mated to 24 rams from four breeds producing 454 lambs including pure kurdi, kk, (116 lambs), afshari × ...

this study was carried out to investigate the effect of selection on the reduction of fat-tail size in lori-bakhtiari lambs. the study lasted for five years at the development and breeding center of lori-bakhtiari sheep station. estimation of fat-tail weight, using external fat-tail dimensions was obtained from regression procedure at 6 month age. soft tissue depth at the point 12 cm from the m...

in the present study, the effect of tail fat on recovery times in intact sheep and sheep with a ligated median sacral artery following similar anesthetic exposure with isoflurane was investigated. this study was performed using seven healthy fat-tailed iranian lori-bakhtiyari ewe lambs. the lambs were anesthetized twice at two week intervals (the experiment was performed in two stages). after m...

introduction the common isoform of fatty acids in animal and herbal lipids are cis fatty acids, however in some sources such as milk and meat of ruminant, the trans fatty acids are more abundant as compared to the plant lipids. the trans fatty acids are very important because they increase the cardiovascular and heart attack. the heart disorders were increased by enhancing the concentration of ...
