Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUsing Morphometric Traits to Estimate Live Body Weight of South African Bapedi SheepThabang Sako, Jones Ng’ambi, Thomas Raphulu et al.This study was carried out for the estimation of Body Weight (BW) of bapedi sheep from Body Length (BL), Sterna Height (SH), Heart Girth (HG), Height at Withers (WH), Rump Height (RH) and Head Length (HL). Correlation and regression were used. Correlation displayed that body weight is highly positively associated (p<0.01) with WH and HG in males while for females, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 26 Jun 2024 · 5,656 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe COXII Haplotypes and their Association with Productive Traits in Large White Breed PigsMaria A. Kolosova, Lyubov V. Getmantseva, Nekruz F. Bakoev et al.The mitochondrial genome encodes key electron transfer chain (ETC) proteins which produce the vast majority of cellular ATP. Sequence analysis of maternal inherited mitochondrial DNA is an effective way to assess the individual characteristics of commercial breeding lines of pigs. The aims of our study were to analyze the nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial gene COXII in Large White pigs, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 2 Jul 2019 · 7,658 accessesView PDFCite
