Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction and Reproduction of Primiparous Guinea Pigs Concerning Lysine LevelsYasmeen Camila Vargas-Jauja, Karin Marleny Casilla-Huallpa, Liz Beatriz Chino-Velasquez et al.The development of breeding animals is essential to ensure the productivity of guinea pigs, so an adequate supply of nutrients is required. However, information on their nutritional requirements is limited, particularly with regard to amino acids such as lysine, wich affects their productive performance. We evaluated the effects of dietary lysine levels (0.84, 1.01, 1.18, and 1.34%) on prim parous … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 28 May 2025 · 5,467 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Use of Management and Hormonal Oestrous Synchronisation on Indigenous Sheep Reared ExtensivelyAyanda Maqhashu, Jabulani Nkululeko Ngcobo, Hester Adri O'Neill et al.As the global population increases, demand for animal products will result in increased livestock-related greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. One of the strategies for reducing this impact would be the improvement of indigenous livestock reproductive efficiency that are hardy and well adapted to harsh environmental regions. The use of reproductive technologies increases efficiency of animals necessary for … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 29 Aug 2024 · 4,778 accessesView PDFCite
