Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Genetic Diversity among Elite Breeding Lines of Arabica Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) in Ethiopia using Simple Sequence Repeats MarkersTadesse Benti, Endale Gebre, Kassahun Tesfaye et al.Despite being the center of origin and genetic diversity, there has beenlimited application of molecular markers in arabica coffee breeding inEthiopia. In this study, the extent of genetic diversity and relationships of48 elite breeding lines of arabica coffee from different geographical originswere evaluated using 14 SSR markers. The SSR markers amplified 105 alleles ofwhich 104 are polymorphic with an average … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2022 · 6,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCow Efficiency, Relative-Birth Weight and Subsequent Pre-Weaning Growth Performance of Nguni CattleTakalani Judas Mpofu, Khathutshelo Agree Nephawe, Muzi Mandla Ginindza et al.The objective of this study was to evaluate factors influencing Cow Efficiency (CE), Relative-Birth Weight (R-BW), and subsequent pre-weaning growth performance of Nguni cattle in Limpopo Province, South Africa. Factors that were considered were dammed weight at calving, agro-ecological zone, the season of birth, sex of calves, parity, and dam age. Data from Nguni cows and their calves (n = … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 23 May 2022 · 7,141 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDevelopment of a Methodology for Determining the Nutritional Value of Pasture Feed Considering the Fractions of Easily Digestible Carbohydrates in the Desert Zone of Southern KazakhstanAmanbay Karynbayev, Beybit Nasiyev, Kuzembayuly Zharylkasyn et al.Due to the absence of easily digestible carbohydrates (sugar and starch, which are of great importance in animal nutrition) in the existing methods of assessing the nutritional value of feed, the need to include them in the methods for improving the overall nutritional value is a particularly urgent matter in feed manufacture for desert livestock industries. The study was carried … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 4 · 4 Sep 2023 · 4,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUltrasound Imaging of the Testes and Accessory Sex Glands in Male Goat Treated with GnRH During Non-Breeding SeasonHamed T. Elbaz, Emad M. Abdel Razek, Ahmed DawodThe aim of the present study was to determine the effect of GnRH on the measurements of testes, accessory sex glands and testosterone hormonal concentrations during the non-breeding season. Eight mature healthy Egyptian Baladi male goat injected with Buserelin acetate (GnRH analogue) 8μg once weekly for one month. Ultrasonographic measurements of the scrotum and its contents and all accessory sex … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 15 Apr 2019 · 7,838 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Polymorphism Exon 9-11 at the Leptin Gene Receptor in Breeder Hens of Mazandaran Native FowlsHossein Ali Abbasi, Shahabodin Gharavysi, Rohullah AbdullahpourProblem statement: Leptin a 16 kD protein synthesized by white adipose tissue and involved in regulation of feed intake, energy balance, fertility and immune function. In order to evaluate the leptin gene receptor polymorphism, we have used a Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) method. Approach: Blood samples were collected from randomly chosen 100 native fowls breeding station of Mazandaran.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetermining the Time Required to Detect Induced Sow Lameness Using an Embedded Microcomputer-Based Force Plate SystemBrady McNeil, Julia Calderón Díaz, Caitlyn Bruns et al.Lameness in swine breeding herds is a common cause of compromised animal well-being and economic loss to pig producers. Current lameness assessment methods are subjective and require intensive training. It has been shown that embedded microcomputer-based force plate systems can detect lameness by measuring weight distributions in livestock. The objective of this study was to determine the minimum time required … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 25 May 2018 · 7,612 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManagement of Beef Cattle Production in Malaysia: A Step Forward to SustainabilityIbragimov Abdulla, Fatimah Mohamed Arshad, B.K. Bala et al.The beef cattle industry recorded progressive growth in the last two decades. Despite this growth, suppliers are having difficulty to meet the domestic demand for beef. Continued strong growth of beef cattle production capacity depends on supplier profitability, which in turn will be influenced by primarily on availability of feedstuffs that constitutes a large proportion of the cost of production. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 9 · 16 Sep 2016 · 8,282 accessesView PDFCite
