Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordComparison of Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines and Classification Regression Tree for Prediction of Body Weight of Bapedi SheepMadumetja Cyril Mathapo, Ramaisela Barley Mthembu, Albino Joas Tsenane et al.The study aimed to compare the performance of multiple adaptive regression splines and classification regression trees for the prediction of the body weight of Bapedi sheep. A total of 100 Bapedi sheep aged between one and five years old of different sexes were employed. The study measured the following: Body Length (BL), Withers Height (WH), Heart Girth (HG), Rump Height … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 12 Jul 2024 · 5,184 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordNUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DAIRY COW DURING EARLY GESTATION AND SUBSEQUENT GROWTH AND CARDIAC MEASUREMENTS OF HER OFFSPRINGJ. E. Larson, B. E. Voelz, D. K. Hardin, C. O. LemleyThe objective was to determine whether maternal nutritional status and milk production during early gestation influenced or were correlated with parameters of the calf at birth and at 1 month of age. From parturition until 90 days pregnant, blood samples were collected every 14 days in dairy cows and plasma was assayed for concentrations of glucose and β-Hydroxybutyrate (BHBA). Calves … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2014 · 7,625 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordSelection of Kalmyk Cattle in KazakhstanAnuarbek Temirbekovich Bissembayev, Alzhan Smailuly Shamshidin, Zhanat Maratovich Kasenov et al.The purpose of the study is to determine the precocity of Kalmyk cattle breeding stock in Kazakhstan and the accuracy of productivity assessment by indices of breeding value. It is established that calves are born with a live weight of 22.4-25.7 kg, at the age of six months they reach a live weight of 165.2-175.3 kg.

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordExperimental Study of Load Sharing in Roller-Bearing Contact by Caustics and PhotoelasticityKonstandinos G. Raptis, George A. Papadopoulos, Theodore N. Costopoulos, Andonios D. TsolakisProblem statement: In this study a comprehensive methodology for calculating load sharing in Roller-bearing contact was presented based on the experimental stress-optical method of caustics and Photoelasticity. Approach: The theoretical equations describing the geometry of transmitted caustic in relation to the length of the contact zone were derived and a simple mathematical set of equations correlating the maximum diameter of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 8,397 accessesView PDF Cite
