Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Traits as Indicators of Body Weights in Dorper SheepMolabe Kagisho Madikadike, Vusi Mbazima, Busisiwe Gunya, Thobela Louis TyasiThe growth traits help rural farmers who lack weighing equipment to anticipate the body weights of their animals for a variety of reasons, including feeding, medication, and breeding purposes. The study aims to predict body weights from the growth traits of Doper sheep. Data on growth traits such as body length, heart girth, sternum height, withers height, rump height, and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 26 Dec 2022 · 6,287 accessesView PDF Cite

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.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuperovulation Response and Embryo Quality Recovered Following Flushing Nguni Heifers and CowsAyanda Maqhashu, Masindi L. Mphaphathi, Pokgedi J Sebei et al.The aims of the study were to compare super ovulatory response, fertilization rate and evaluate embryo quality recovered from super ovulated Nguni stud cows and heifers. Nguni cows (n = 15) and heifers (n = 10) aged 4-6 and 2 years, respectively, were used as embryo donors. Embryo donors were synchronized for estrus before superovulation. For superovulation donors were administered … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2021 · 6,431 accessesView PDF Cite

The objective of this study was to characterise indigenous goat populations in rural areas of South Africa. Appearance of indigenous goat phenotypes and their typical features were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2020 · 8,233 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFace Biometrics Based on Principal Component Analysis and Linear Discriminant AnalysisLih-Heng Chan, Sh-Hussain Salleh, Chee-Ming TingProblem statement: In facial biometrics, face features are used as the required human traits for automatic recognition. Feature extracted from face images are significant for face biometrics system performance. Approach: In this thesis, a framework of facial biometric was designed based on two subspace methods i.e., Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). First, PCA is used for … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2010 · 7,664 accessesView PDF Cite
