Literature ReviewOpen accessPhrase in the titlePrediction of Body Weight from Linear Body Measurements in Sheep: A Systematic ReviewMathemba Kwezi Molosi, Lubabalo Bila, Thobela Louis TyasiThe aim of the study was to systematically review the literature on the prediction of the body weight from linear body measurement traits in sheep using four databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct and Web of Science. The findings showed that eighteen (n = 18) articles with22% (n = 4) were from South Africa certified to be utilised in this … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 5 Jul 2025 · 3,543 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPhenotypic Characterisation of the Bapedi SheepKgothatso Masethe, Thinawanga Joseph Mugwabana, Tlou Caswell Chokoe et al.Bapedi sheep are at risk of extinction, which necessitates thorough documentation to inform and drive effective conservation efforts. We aimed to characterize Bapedi Sheep phenotypic characteristics using 231 Bapedi sheep (≥1 year of age) from Limpopo and Gauteng Provinces. The Bapedi Sheep were grazed on natural pasture and the data was collected during the autumn season. Qualitative and quantitative phenotypic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2025 · 5,909 accessesView PDFCite
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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphometric Differentiation of Indigenous Tswana Goat Populations in Botswana Using Canonical Discriminant AnalysisDitiro MaletsanakeIndigenous goats are renowned for their endurance and capacity to withstand extreme climatic conditions. To categorize indigenous animal genetic resources, morphometric measurements have been employed to analyze the properties of numerous farm animal populations and breeds. The purpose of this research was to use canonical discriminant analysis to categorize the diverse Tswana goat populations in Botswana based on their morphometric … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 3 · 26 Jul 2023 · 6,094 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhenotypic Diversity of South African Indigenous Goat Population in Selected Rural AreasTlou Caswell Chokoe, Tlou Cornelia Matelele, Ayanda Maqhashu et al.Phenotypic characterisation of indigenous goat populations is crucial in providing information on goat types and their attributes and may play an important role as guideline for conservation and sustainable us of these resources. The objective of this study was to characterise indigenous goat populations in rural areas of South Africa. Appearance of indigenous goat phenotypes and their typical features were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2020 · 8,233 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,755 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDepth Estimation of 2-D Magnetic Anomalous Sources by Using Euler Deconvolution MethodM. G.E. Dawi, Liu Tianyou, Shi Hui, Luo DapengEuler deconvolution method is the method of depth estimation which is best suited for anomalies caused by isolating and multiple anomalous sources. In the present study, algorithmic programs based on generalizing linear inverse theory, uses a least square sense to solve for Euler’s equation is being written. The Euler technique that can estimate the location of a simple body from … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 7,459 accessesView PDFCite
