Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePrediction of Body Weight of Yearling Boer Goats from Morphometric Traits using Classification and Regression TreeMadumetja Cyril Mathapo, Thobela Louis TyasiClassification and Regression Tree (CART) is a predictive algorithm method used to explains how the dependent variable can be predicted using independent variables (numerical and characters). The study was conducted to investigate the relationship between body weight and morphometric traits (Body Length (BL), Heart Girth (HG), Rump Height (RH), Rump Width (RW), Ear Length (EL), Cannon Circumference (CC) and Head … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 3 May 2021 · 8,444 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePerformance, Carcass Traits and Quality of Longissimus lumborum muscle of Santa Inês lambsFabio Borba Ferrari, Juliana Lolli Malagoli de Mello, Rodrigo Fortunato de Oliveira et al.The aim of this research was to evaluate carcass traits and meat quality of finishing lambs in pastures with different leaf area index with or without high protein-mineral supplementation. In this study, forty-eight young Santa Inês rams were used, with an average initial body weight of 13.5 kg and an average age of 4 months.

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOptimizing Boar Epididymal Sperm Preservation: Comparative Analysis of Slicing Float-Up vs. Flushing and BTS vs. Andromed® Extenders on Sperm Motility and Morphometry TraitsMamonene Angelinah Thema, Ntuthuko Raphael Mkhize, Gerhard van der Horst et al.Epididymal sperm collection represents a valuable strategy for preserving genetics from deceased or castrated boars of superior breeding value. The two primary collection methods-slicing float-up (high sperm yield) and flushing (low blood contamination risk)-differ in sperm recovery efficiency, while semen extenders provide cryoprotective nutrients that protect against cold shock during preservation. This study compared the effects of slicing float-up versus … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 14 Mar 2026 · 1,800 accessesView PDFCite
