Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of the Sheep Farming System in the Brazilian Semiarid from the Multivariate PerspectiveJanaina Kelli Gomes Arandas, Ângelo Giuseppe Chaves Alves, Olivardo Facó et al.This study aimed to characterize the purebred Morada Nova sheep and crossbred farming systems in Ceará State, Brazil, through multivariate analysis. The study was carried out in the Morada Nova municipality in Ceará. Thirteen representative Morada Nova pure sheep Breeders (MNB) and 48 crossbreds’ breeders of Morada Nova with other breeds (CMN) were interviewed. Was used a questionnaire-based including 12 … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 1 Jul 2020 · 7,403 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Polymorphisms at Heat Shock Protein 90 Gene by High Resolution Melting Assays for Potential Heat Tolerance among Nigerian Zebu Cattle BreedsGbolabo Onasanya, George Msalya, Aranganoor Thiruvenkadan et al.Heat Shock Protein (HSP) 90 gene is a member of HSPs sub-family that act as molecular chaperons whenever animals come under thermal stress. The genes fulfill essential roles of providing cellular protection, immune response, protein synthesis, protein folding and unfolding, protection from cellular stress, inhibitory apoptosis and adaptation. This study was designed to analyze polymorphisms of HSP 90 and to … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 7 Mar 2020 · 7,264 accessesView PDF Cite

Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractSome Biological Characteristics and Prediction of Sheep Productivity at Different Variants of Breed SelectionKolosov Yuri A., Klimenko Aleksander I., Vasilenko Vyacheslav N. et al.The paper presents the findings on the morpho structural diversity of sheep placenta, depending on such factors as age, exterior and physique characteristics, breeds, ewes prolificacy that are fundamental in assessing progeny viability. The experiment involved the ewes of the Caucasian and North Caucasian meet-and-wool breeds inseminated by the rams of the same breeds as well as the Texel, Poll … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2017 · 7,622 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCONTRIBUTION TO THE GENETIC DETERMINISM OF THE SHEEP’S MILK QUALITY. RACE INFLUENCE (HAMRA AND OULED DJELLAL) ON PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS AND PROTEIN PROFILEA. Ameur Ameur, F. Chougrani, A. Cheriguene et al.In order to study the race effect on the physico-chemical characteristics and protein profile, two sheep or ovine breeds Hamra and Ouled Djellal were raised in the same condition sat the ITELV (National institute of breeding) (Ain Hajar-Saida, Algeria). The analyses were focused on the pH, density, freezing, fat, total protein, dry defatted extract and total dry extract. The results … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 18 Jun 2014 · 6,980 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlow Cytometry Baseline on Peripheral Leukocyte Cell Profiles for Dairy Goat KidsDarcy M. Fletcher, Megan B. Vogt, Hannah E. Pirner et al.Small ruminants, like goats, would make excellent animal models for not only infectious diseases in large ruminants but also analogous diseases in humans, such as human tuberculosis, Crohn’s disease, melioidosis and brucellosis. The main disadvantage for the small ruminant model is the lack of sufficient baseline data on normal, healthy goat kids. Furthermore, most reagents (antibodies and the like) were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 26 Sep 2013 · 7,576 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMolecular Characterization of Black Bengal and Jamuna Pari Goat Breeds By RAPD MarkersM.A. Rahman, S.M.M. Rahman, M.A. Jalil et al.This experiment was conducted in the Genetics, Breeding and Reproductive Biotechnology Laboratory under Goat and Sheep Production Research Division, Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI), Saver, Dhaka, Bangladesh. DNA was extracted from 14 goat breeds and the extracted DNA was observed by gel electrophoresis. Eight goat specific primers were synthesized by ASM-800 DNA synthesizer and screened in the study and all … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2006 · 9,588 accessesView PDF Cite
