Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPrediction 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 · 8,439 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing 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 · 1,794 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphology of Female Adult Black Soldier Fly Under Slaughterhouse Waste and Rice Bran Growing MediumFadilla Rizkia Fasha, Dedes Amertaningtyas, Faizal Andri, Nurul IsnainiThe effectiveness of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming within a sustainable waste management framework heavily depends on the choice of a suitable rearing substrate. This study aimed to assess the morphological characteristics of female adult BSF reared on growing media composed of slaughterhouse waste (SW) and rice bran (RB). This study was conducted at the Laboratory of Animal Reproduction, Faculty … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 4 Dec 2025 · 2,265 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOn-Farm Phenotypic Characterization of Sheep Breeds in BotswanaKaelo Pelotshweu, Monosi Andries Bolowe, Nicodemus Pungi Mosweu et al.Phenotypic characterization data serve as a baseline for the evaluation of the effectiveness of selection programs and the development of conservation strategies. Therefore, this study aimed to phenotypically characterize Tswana, Dorper, Damara, Meat-master, and Karakul sheep breeds in Botswana under a ranch management system. Qualitative and quantitative data was collected from 595 adult sheep (one year and above). Data on … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 1 Mar 2025 · 7,311 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Deploying the Flow Guide Vane in Upstream of Triangular Duckbill Weirs on the Efficiency of this Type of Weir in Laboratory ConditionsSayedeh Zahra Hosseini-Teshnizi, Manuchehr Heidarpour, Saeid Eslamian et al.One of the effective ways for the flow of water in low head water conditions is using triangular duckbill weirs. Regarding the high efficiency of these weirs in higher rate of flow discharge in constant head water conditions, the investigation about this type of weirs is greatly required. The present study is done on triangular duckbill weir with two different … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 27 Jun 2019 · 7,199 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Performance of the Red-Stripe Weevil Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Meridic DietsChoon-Fah J. Bong, Chin-Chin Er, Pang-Hung Yiu, Amartalingam RajanBiology and growth performance of Red Stripe Weevil, Rhynchophorus schach Oliv. were studied using meridic diets. The diets consisted of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) bagasse, copra (Cocos nucifera L.) cake and sago (Metroxylon sagus Rottb.) flour as main ingredients. Larvae or locally known as sagoworm, in copra cake diet exhibited the fastest growth with maximum weight gain of 1609 mg … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,134 accessesView PDF Cite
