        AbstractThe magnetic field in the ion trap of electron beam ion source (EBIS) determines the current density of electron beam and thus the depth of trap potential, which affects the charge breeding efficiency to desired charge state. An EBIS charge breeder has been constructed to be used for the Rare Isotope Science Project in Korea. A 6 T superconducting solenoid is used for the trap, and uniform magnetic field is extended with correction coils at the ends. The effect of field uniformity on the electron current density is evaluated using TRAK, and it is shown sizable improvement in the charge breeding efficiency for rare isotope beams can be obtained by elaborate magnetic design. Furthermore, the electron beam energy affects the ionization efficiency. The electron energy is often reduced in the trap for optimal matching with charge striping cross section. However, virtual cathode formation can appear in the process of energy reduction. Maximum beam currents limited by electron energy are studied analytically and by TRAK simulation in the view of improving the charge breeding efficiency. تفاصيل المقالة

        فیبریلاسیون دهلیزی از مهم ترین آریتمی‌های قلبی در اسب‌های ورزشی است که می‌تواند متعاقب نارسایی‌های دریچه‌ای قلبی ایجاد شود. مطالعه حاضر، گزارش وقوع یک مورد فیبریلاسیون دهلیزی همراه با نارسایی دریچه میترال در یک رأس اسب ورزشی نژاد دوخون ایرانی است که علائم مرمر قلبی، افت کارایی ورزشی و عدم تحمل فعالیت را نشان داده‌است. بدین منظور در یک مادیان 5 ساله نژاد دوخون، جهت شناسایی علل مرمر قلبی و کاهش کارایی، معاینات بالینی، الکتروکاردیوگرافی، آزمایشات هماتولوژی و بیوشیمیایی سرم و اکوکاردیوگرافی انجام گردید. در هنگام سمع، یک بی‌نظمی نامنظم در ریتم قلب و یک سوفل درجه 6/4 هولوسیستولیک با نقطه حداکثر شدت آن در ناحیه دریچه میترال همراه با لرزش شنیده‌شد. در الکتروکاردیوگرافی به روش اشتقاق قاعده‌ای- رأسی هم، وقوع فیبریلاسیون دهلیزی ثبت گردید. افزایش میزان فیبرینوژن و گلبول‌های سفید خون در ارزیابی‌های خون‌شناسی آشکار گردید. در اکوکاردیوگرافی، افتادگی لت دریچه میترال (flail leaflet)، اتساع بطن و دهلیز چپ و نارسایی دریچه میترال با شدت متوسط مشخص شد. همچنین مقادیر کسرجهشی (fractional shortening) کاهش یافته‌بود که نشانگر افت عملکرد میوکارد قلب می‌باشد. در نارسایی میترال، بزرگ شدن دهلیز چپ بخشی از تغییرات پاتوفیزیولوژیکی برای جبران افزایش بار قلب است اما همچنین یک علامت برای اختلالات قلبی در آینده مانند فیبریلاسیون دهلیزی و حتی مرگ ناگهانی خواهد بود. در نهایت اتساع دهلیز متعاقب نارسایی میترال، فیبریلاسیون دهلیزی و کاهش کسر جهشی می‌توانند منجر به افت عملکرد ورزشی و حتی اثر منفی بر امید به زندگی اسب داشته باشند. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of GnRH injection on semen ejaculate characteristics in Awassi rams collected in breeding and non breeding seasons. The study was conducted in late summer to early autumn when breeding activity commences, and in winter during the non breeding season. Twelve mature Awassi rams were used in this study. Animals were randomly allocated into two equal groups, the experimental group received 50 µg IM of GnRH weekly andthe control group received 1 ml of saline. Libido was assessed and semen samples were collected from the Awassi rams 24 hours after IM administration. Scrotal circumference (SC) and testicular volume were measured weekly during the study period. Ejaculates were collected 24 hours after each GnRH/saline administration and assessed for volume, sperm concentration, mass and individual motility, live sperm and sperm abnormalities. Seminal plasma was assayed for the estimation of alanine amino transferase (ALT), aspartate amino transferase (AST), acid phosphatase (ACP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH). Results show that GnRH treatment improves semen volume, total ejaculated sperm and reaction time in both breeding and non-breeding seasons compared to control (P<0.05). However, GnRH treatment reduces the activity of LDH in both seasons. Other seminal traits show similar values for both seasons. In conclusion, GnRH treatment of Awassi rams improved libido, semen volume, sperm numbers, but not sperm viability. تفاصيل المقالة

        Self-sufficient unmanned systems like computer vision products increasingly become essential in managing the data and supporting producers in making decisions in the livestock environment. Image classification is one of the most famous missions for machine learning (ML) methods and its goal is to detect the objects in the frames. The main objective of the research was to investigate whether the classification of two breeds, Hereford and Simmental, often confused with each other due to their morphological similarities, via image processing, is helpful in the case of livestock production. 600 images of different individuals from Hereford (300) and Simental (300) cattle breeds were included in the study. The Fully Connected Neural Networks (FCNN) were established estimate the breeds. Modelling of artificial neural networks, image processing and all other analyses was conducted with EBimage and Keras packages in R language on a PC with 11. Gen. i7 CPU and CUDA supported GPU model of RTX 3060. The results show only 17 were inaccurate in 600 images in total with an accuracy greater than 97%. The training process of the model was executed in 69 seconds. At the end of the investigation, it was clarified that the use of FCNN in livestock would be beneficial in terms of breed classification via image recognition. تفاصيل المقالة

        A purpose of study is to examine sperm quality of Bali polled and horned bulls. The semen samples collected from 4 Bali polled bulls and 4 horned bulls aged between 5 and 7 years using an artificial vagina, then evaluated macroscopically and microscopically. A macroscopic evaluation revealed no significant differences of semen between polled and horned cattle. However, the microscopic evaluation revealed that sperm concentration, motility, and abnormality of polled bulls were significantly lower than the horned bulls, and there was no apparent difference between viability and membrane integrity. Except for abnormalities and DNA integrity of spermatozoa, all parameters of sperm quality were not significantly different between polled and horned bulls. Sperm abnormalities in polled bulls were significantly higher than in horned ones. However, sperm DNA integrity of the polled bulls was significantly higher than horned bulls. The analysis of CASA revealed that most kinematics were higher in polled bull spermatozoa than in horned ones, except for wobble (WOB) or ration of velocity average path (VAP) and velocity curvilinear (VCL) and amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH), which were higher in horned bulls than in polled bulls. We therefore concluded that the quality of fresh sperm from horned bulls was better than polled bulls. However, polled bulls semen has greater freezing ability than the horned ones. Furthermore, the polled and horned bulls had the same semen characteristics that enable them for fertilizing ability, and both bulls have good DNA integrity. تفاصيل المقالة

        The objective of this study was to compare the accuracy of estimating and predicting breeding values using two diverse approaches, GBLUP and BayesC, using simulated data under different quantitative trait locus(QTL) effect distributions. Data were simulated with three different distributions for the QTL effect which were uniform, normal and gamma (1.66, 0.4). The number of QTL was assumed to be either 5, 10 or 20. In total, 9 different scenarios were generated to compare the markers estimated breeding values obtained from these scenarios using t-tests. In comparisons between GBLUP and BayesC within different scenarios for a trait of interest, the genomic estimated breeding values produced and the true breeding values in a training set were highly correlated (r>0.80), despite diverse assumptions and distributions. BayesC produced more accurate estimations than GBLUP in most simulated traits. In all scenarios, GBLUP had a consistently high accuracy independent of different distributions of QTL effects and at all numbers of QTL. BayesC produced estimates with higher accuracies in traits influenced by a low number of QTL and with gamma QTL effects distribution. In conclusion, GBLUP and BayesC had persistent high accuracies in all scenarios, although BayesC performed better in traits with low numbers of QTL and a Gamma effect distribution. تفاصيل المقالة

        Serum protein profile could be considered as a useful indicator of physiological and pathological conditions, but several factors may interfere with the interpretation. This study was conducted to evaluate serum protein fractions in association with age, body weight, birth type and birth season in a meat-type sheep. Blood samples were randomly taken from 96 healthy Lori-Bakhtiari ewes in the Shooli breeding station in Iran. The sampled animals randomly belonged to different age, birth type, birth season and body weight groups. Total protein and other fractions were determined by Biuret and electrophoresis methods, respectively. IgG levels were measured by ELISA method. Total protein, albumin, total globulins, albumin/globulins ratio, α1, α2, β and γ globulins and IgG levels averages were 5.82, 2.35, 3.47, 0.69, 0.06, 0.42, 0.15, 2.82 and 1.56 g/dL, respectively. Total protein had high correlations with total and γ globulins, while albumin and IgG were almost independent from other fractions. Levels of serum protein fractions in adults were also independent from body weights at different ages. Serum protein profile was significantly affected by age and birth season (P<0.05), where by older ewes had lower levels of α2, γ and total globulins and higher albumin/globulin ratios. The winter-born ewes significantly had higher γ globulins levels and probably more immune system activities, compared to the spring-born ewes. Body weight and birth type did not have any significant effect on the studied serum protein fractions. This study suggested that the age and birth season should be considered for interpretation of the serum protein profiles. تفاصيل المقالة

        Variace / covariance components of 227118 first lactaiom test-day milk yield records belonged to 31258 Iranian Holstein cows were estimated using nine random regression models. Afterwards, different measures of persistency based on estimation breeding value were evaluated. Three functions were used to adjust fixed lactation curve: Ali and Schaeffer (AS), quadratic (LE3) and cubic (LE4) order of Legendre polynomial but for random effects, unequal order of Legendre polynomials (LE3, LE4, LE5 and Ali and Schaffer) functions were evaluated. Heterogeneous residual variance considered during days in milk and evaluation of models was based on eigenvalues and associated eigenvectors and residual variance. Model with Ali and Schaeffer function for fixed part and LE3 and LE4 for additive and permanent environmental effects was selected as the best model for random regression analysis in first parity dairy cows. The highest and lowest heritability were observed in the middle (0.29) and beginning (0.08) of lactation, respectively. Persistency measurement proposed by Cobuci (PSY1) (difference between estimation breeding value between 290 and 90 days) was preferential for using in further genetic evaluations for persistency in milk yield of Iranian Holstein cows. تفاصيل المقالة

        The present study aimed to estimate heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations between body weight and body measurement traits in Iranian Makuei sheep. The used data were collected from 1989 to 2012 at Makuei Sheep Breeding Station in Maku (West Azarbayjan province). The data included body weight and five body measurement traits (body length (BL), heart girth (HG), withers height (WH), rump height (RH) and leg circumference (LC)) in 6, 12 and 18 months of age with 400, 900 and 350 records in different time, respectively. The data were analyzed using multi-trait animal model through DFREML software. Results showed that the estimated heritabilities for body weight and body measurement traits in 12 months of age is less than those for 6 and 18 months of age; those comes down from 6 to 12 months of age, then go up to 18 months of age. In six months of age the highest and lowest genetic correlations were between body weight (BW) with WH and LC; respectively, and the highest and lowest phenotypic correlations were between BW with RH and LC; respectively. Genetic and phenotypic correlations between body weight in six months of age and body measurement traits were approximately high but with leg circumference were low. Genetic correlations in 12 months of age were generally higher than phenotypic correlations. Genetic correlations between body weight in 18 months of age and body measurement traits were moderate to high and the highest genetic correlation was found between body weight in 18 months of age and body length. The positive correlation between body weight and body measurements in different ages indicated that selection for body measurements would results body weight improvement. تفاصيل المقالة

        The study was conducted to investigate the fatty acid profile of intramuscular fat in longissimus lumborum (LL) of three genotypic groups: Qazvinian native (Q, n=10), crossbred Qazvinian native × Saanen breed (QS, n=10) and backcrossed Qazvinian native × Saanen breed (QSS, n=9) male kids.All of kids were weaned at 75-days-old and then fed with a diet consisted of concentrate (70%) and alfalfa hay (30%). The kids were slaughtered with an average age of 130 days and immediately samples of LL muscle were collected. Data were analyzed through one-way ANOVA using the generalized linear model (GLM) procedure. The total differences among genotypic groups were evaluated by a canonical discriminant analysis (CDA).The concentration of intramuscular fat (g/100g meat, Q=0.94, QS=2.01 and QSS=1.05) and saturated fatty acids (SFA; Q=40.87, QS=43.25 and QSS=36.9), polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA; Q=12.99, QS=13.89 and QSS=22.41), total conjugated linoleic acids (CLA, Q=2.1, QS=2.32 and QSS=1.02) and desirable fatty acids (Q=73.63, QS=67.18 and QSS=74.87) as g/100 g total fatty acids between genotypic groups were significant (p <0.05). Furthermore, the PUFA:SFA and linoleic (C18:2 n-6):alpha-linolenic acids (C18:3 n-3) ratio in genotypic groups were significant (p <0.05). The genotypic groups were separated by CDA, based on their meat fatty acids profile. Results demonstrated that crossbreeding could significantly change the intramuscular fatty acids profile. Therefore, it can be concluded that the fatty acids profile in crossbred kids are better than that of native Qazvinian kids. In these experimental conditions, results of the present study demonstrated that crossbreeding could be a suitable strategy for producing meat with higher concentration of unsaturated fatty acids with beneficial properties for health of consumers. تفاصيل المقالة

        The use of alternative feeds for animal nutrition has widely been recommended in the last years. Banana (Musa acuminate) is a predominant culture in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world with an estimated world production of 116 million tons. Banana by-products could be used as alternative feeds for ruminant nutrition. The present study assessed the effects of replacing ryegrass hay with banana by-products on carcass characteristic and composition in Canary hair sheep lambs. The animals (N=22, weighted 14.8&plusmn;0.5 kg body weight (BW)) were divided into 2 groups receiving a mixture of fresh banana by-products and commercial ryegrass hay, respectively. A commercial concentrate feed was also added to both groups. After a 58-day trial, 14 animals (n=14) were slaughter at weights of 25.0 &plusmn; 0.6 kg BW. Carcass weight, dressing weight, composition and tissue weight were not significantly different for both groups, except for the weights of the empty digestive tracts (P=0.001) and livers (P=0.002). The results confirm that banana by-products could be used as alternative forage source for Canary hair sheep lambs raised in subtropical conditions. تفاصيل المقالة

        The effect of carcass weight, age at slaughter and sex on some chemical components was evaluated in twenty-two Boutsiko lambs (twelve females and ten males). Chemical composition of meat was expressed as percentage of fat, protein, collagen and moisture content. Measures of the four chemical components were taken by carcass cuts included shoulder, leg, racks, kidney, rear flank, breast ribs and scrag-end. Results have shown that the percentage content of fat, protein, moisture and collagen are in a good level compared to the other sheep breeds and E.U. Directives. Regression analysis showed that among the three independent variables only carcass weight had significant effect on the content of fat, protein and moisture, while the age at slaughter was the only factor which has an impact on the value of collagen. The significant positive relation of carcass weight with fat content and its negative relation with moisture and protein is an indication that lessening the weight by a small amount will have comparatively favorable results in the chemical quality of meat through the reduction of fat and the increasing of moisture and protein content. Small reduction of age at slaughter will further improve the level of collagen, which is the basic parameter affecting the tenderness of the meat. Reduction of carcass weight and age at slaughter means less meat in the market and lower returns for producers. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this study, pedigree data of 7170 lambs produced from 177 rams and 2182 ewes collected during 1989 to 2009 in the Shirvan Kordi sheep breeding station, were used for calculating inbreeding coefficients. The impact of inbreeding on the studied traits was investigated by including inbreeding coefficients for each animal as a covariate in the animal model. Average inbreeding coefficient of the flock in base year, 1989, was estimated as 0.668%. The low average inbreeding in the flock could be ascribed to the structured breeding regime of the station for preventing mating among relatives. Totally, 23.3% of the animals were inbred with average inbreeding coefficient of 2.87%. Out of these, 1668 animals were inbred including 823 males and 845 females with the mean inbreeding coefficients of 2.81% and 2.93%, respectively. Coefficients of inbreeding were also estimated in this population using 6 microsatellite markers (BM8125, BMS2361, BM6526, BM6526, BMS1004 and BM6444) and 100 blood samples. Within population, inbreeding F-statistic (FIS) ranged from -0.1859 (BM6526) to 0.3329 (BM6438). The FIS estimates were positive for BM6438 and BM6444 loci (0.3329 and 0.2287), respectively and estimates for the other loci were negative. Average inbreeding coefficients based on molecular markers was estimated as 0.2617%. Birth weight, weaning weight, body weight at 6 months, body weight at 9 months, body weight at 12 months, annual wool production and number of lambs per ewe lambing were changed by -0.0131, 0.0795, 0.0013, -0.0653, -0.0921, 0.0083 and -0.023 kg, respectively for every one percent increase in inbreeding. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this study production, reproduction, population, management and economic parameters resulted from recording of 7 flocks with size 57 to 400 and 721 heads of camels in a cycle of reproduction, during three years from 2011 to 2013 were used to find out of the economic values of important traits in one hump camel in desert areas rearing system. The economic traits that appeared in profit equation were durability, reproduction and production traits. The economic values, economic weights and the relative importance of traits estimated by increasing one unit and one genetic standard deviation of each trait, using maximizing profit, maximizing efficiency and minimizing cost situations. The results showed that from total annual revenue in each camel (294.10 US$), 66% accounted for sale of calf and 34% resulted from the sale of culling camels. The total annual cost in each camel (72.95 US$), feed, labour and management, facilities, drug and treatment and interest of investment accounted by 40.23%, 34.49%, 7.18%, 1.42% and 16.67%, respectively. The average annual profit and profit to cost ratio in each camel were equal to 221.15 US$ and 3.03, respectively. Relative importance of different group of traits for average of the herds were 58.44% for durability traits (survival rate in camel 14.31%, survival rate in calf to weaning age 34.74% and longevity of camel 9.39%), 24.33% for reproduction traits (conception rate 14.31%, calving interval -8.99%, and age at first calving -1.03%) and 17.23% for production traits (calf weaning weight 13.60%, weight of female replacement -1.09% and weight of camel 2.53%). Relative importance of durability traits resulted from maximizing efficiency and minimizing cost decrease steadily and added to the relative importance of reproduction and production traits. The estimated relative importance of different traits got in this study, could be used to form multiple trait selection indices to one hump camel breeding programs in desert areas rearing system. تفاصيل المقالة

        The article presents the data on a comparative research study of the beef production of Kalmyk steers of compact (Group I), medium (Group II) and tall (Group III) body types. It has been found that the steers of a tall body type had higher pre-slaughter weight at the age of 16 months than steers of compact and medium types by 24.7 and 12.1 kg, respectively; the weight of hot carcasses by 15.9 and 7.6 kg; and the carcass yield was higher by 0.5 and 0.2%. The slaughter yield of steers varied from 58.50 (Group I) to 58.69% (Group III). Boning showed that tall youngsters had higher flesh weight in carcasses by 7.05 and 3.61% compared to their analogs of compact and medium types. The average flesh sample from animals of a tall type contained more protein than their analogs by 0.91 and 0.86%, respectively. The fat content in carcass flesh from steers of compact type was higher than from medium and tall steers by 1.05 and 2.56%, respectively. The longissimus dorsimuscle of tall steers contained more essential amino acid of tryptophan and less non-essential amino acid of hydroxyproline. Furthermore, a tendency of higher values of moisture-retaining ability of meat from steers of a compact type has been revealed. Organoleptic characteristics of meat from all experimental steers differed insignificantly. تفاصيل المقالة

        Aterritorial isolation is adanger to the game population, causing deterioration called the inbreeding depression. The typical signs are anomalous body proportions, such as short lower jaw, shortened lifetime, weak physique and lower birth rate. This is caused by low number of game in the community. White colored deer is in the location of the CzechRepublicbred in separation since 18th century. For their preservation, it was necessary to refresh the population by 'wild colored' Cervus elaphus. By this way, it was reduced the inbreeding depression and population was saved. Simultaneously white colored, beige colored, red colored, combined colored and spotted individuals started to appear. For further breeding development (retention of good health condition, fertility, inbreeding reduction and increase of white colored deer population), practical exploitation of molecular genetics methods were made by deer identification and verification of family relationships. Proven results were used for compilation of breeding groups with target of gradual reduction in: inbreeding, negative consequences of inbreeding depression and increase of white deer population (the origin from Kashmiror Persia). These breeding mechanisms are considered as breeding with controlled reproduction. This project is researching genetic variances within separated white deer population in game-preserve Žleby from 2004 to 2010. The idiotypes have been determined for thirteen microsatellite frequencies (BM888, OarFCB5, RM188, RT1, RT13, T26, T156, T193)and the genetic diversity, heterozygote contribution, polymorphic information content (PIC) and inbreeding factor (f) have been assessed during the project elaboration. Software Power Marker V 3.25 was used for elaboration of obtained results. The project results demonstrated the exploitation of molecular genetic methods for controlled game reproduction. تفاصيل المقالة

        The present study was undertaken to examine the efficacy of a treatment regime using a controlled internal drug release (CIDR) device in conjunction with injections of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) and prostaglandin F2&alpha; (PGF2&alpha;) on conception rate of repeat-breeding Iraqi buffaloes. Data were collected from 100 buffaloeswith repeat breeding in Ninevehprovince housed at six private dairy farms. All buffalo cows were characterized as repeat breeding of more than three natural services with regular oestrouscycles without any signs of pregnancy. Any buffalo with abnormal vaginal discharge and &gt;12% of polymorphonuclear cells in uterine smears was excluded from this study. Buffaloes were randomly assigned to four treatment groups of 25 cows each. Buffaloes in treatment 1 were injected with estradiol benzoate 1 mg and GnRH 250 &mu;g on day 0, aCIDR in the anterior vagina from day 0 to 8, on injection with 25 mg of PGF2&alpha; on day 7 and GnRH (250 &mu;g) on day 9. Buffaloes in treatment 2 received GnRH (250 &mu;g) on day 0, aCIDR, from day 0 to 7 and 25 mg of PGF2&alpha; on day 7. Buffaloes in treatment 3 received a CIDR from day 0 to 7 and 25 mg of PGF2&alpha; on day 7. Treatment 4, acontrol group received no treatments. All buffaloes were mated during oestrus and pregnancy status was diagnosed by palpation of uterine contents at day 45. Pregnancy rates in treatments 1 to 4 were 44%, 52%, 24% and 8%, respectively. On average, Buffaloes treated with different CIDR protocols had higher pregnancy rate than control group. It could be concluded that the use of different CIDR protocols can be applied to improve fertility of repeat breeder Iraqi buffaloes. تفاصيل المقالة

        Heritability, environmentaland genetic correlations between body weight at hatch (BW0), eight (BW8) and twelve (BW12) weeksof age, body weight at sexual maturity (BWM), age at sexual maturity (AFE),the weight of the first egg laid by the hen (EWM), the mean egg weight from 28 to 32 wks (EW28-32) and egg numbers (ENs) were estimated by the restricted maximum likelihood method under an animal model. Data were from six generations (generation ten to fifteen) of hens kept at the Mazandaran Breeding Center of Iran. Heritability estimates for BW0, BW8, BW12, BWM, AFE, EWM, EW28-32 and ENs were 0.134, 0.235, 0.296, 0.247, 0.344, 0.125, 0.240 and 0.156, respectively. Genetic correlations between pairs of body weight measures were moderate with a range from 0.17 to 0.43. Generally, correlations of body weight traits with AFE were weak. Genetic correlation between BW8 and AFE was low, but favorable (-0.17). Egg numbers has unfavorable genetic correlation with BWM (-0.47). However, egg weight traits had favorable genetic correlation with body weight traits, except BW0, which was almost equal to zero. Age at first egg had negative genetic correlation with egg numbers, but positive correlations with egg weight traits. The absolute value of environmental correlations between traits varied from 0.00 to 0.39. The strongest environmental correlation was found between AFE and EWM. There was moderate and positive environmental correlation between BW8 and BW12as well asbetween BW12 and BWM. The results showed that there are considerable genetic variations in important traits of Mazandaran native hens, and that selection on BW8, ENs and EWM, which are the most economicallyimportant traits in this breed, could be effective. تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of the research was to evaluate the influence of sex, breeding group, litter size and age of lambs when placed in lambing pens for their growth rate during rearing. The average daily gain of lambs was evaluated based on their weighing data each week after their placement into lambing pens. Lambs of Improved Valachian, Tsigai and Lacaune breed (n=26) had been gradually integrated to the experiment. Artificial rearing was carried out using a feed slot machine. All lambs were weighted on a digital scale with an accuracy of 0.1 kg at birth, when placed in the lambing pens and then every week until weaning. The breeding group factor had no statistically significant effect on the average daily gain during milk rearing. The average daily gains of lambs at the end of milk rearing were the same for all experimental grups. The ewe lambs at the end of milk rearing reached a higher average daily gain than ram lambs; but we did not detect statistically significant influence of sex on the average daily gain. The litter size factor had a highly significant effect (P&lt;0.01) only on the growth rate of lambs during the first week after beieng placed in the lambing pens. At the end of milk rearing, the average daily gain was the same for single-litter-lambs and twin-litter-lambs too. The difference of the age of their placement into lambing pens had no statistically significant effect on the weight of the lambs at the end of milk rearing. Statistically significant effect (P&lt;0.05) was found in lambs of different age at their placement in the lambing pens on the average daily gain from placing in to the end of milk rearing. The lambs involved in rearing had a lower weight gains when placed into the lambing pens at an older age. تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of this study was to estimate the effective population size (Ne) and genomic inbreeding coefficients in 96 Baluchi sheep genotyped using Illumina OvineSNP50 BeadChip. Using NEESTIMATOR software, the estimation of contemporary Ne based on heterozygote-excess and linkage disequilibrium (LD) methods was obtained 15 and 25, respectively. The historical Ne estimated with SNeP software showed a fast decreasing trend over the last 1000 generations. The Ne estimate for the previous 4 generations was ranged from 48 to 75. Three estimates of inbreeding coefficients including genomic relationship matrix (FGRM), excess of homozygosity (FHOM) and correlation between uniting gametes (FUNI) were calculated using GCTA software. The values of FGRM, FHOM and FUNI were calculated the same at -0.017. The average expected and observed heterozygosity using PLINK software were calculated as 0.374 and 0.383, respectively. Our results showed a considerable genetic variation in Baluchi sheep, however the low values of Ne emphasize that measures should be taken to avoid a further reduction in the effective population size. The results of this study provide guidance for future sheep breeding to increase the conservation activities of the native sheep breeds. تفاصيل المقالة

        The study aimed to design breeding schemes for the improvement of sheep in Northwestern Ethiopia. The alternative breeding schemes were modeled and evaluated using a deterministic approach for genetic and economic efficiency. The input parameters were obtained from a survey of existing flock structures, breeding management, and literature. The predicted genetic response, genetic gain for goal traits, and rate of inbreeding were little different under village-based schemes depending on selection objectives and selection criteria. The highest genetic gains for six month&rsquo;s weight, pre-weaning lamb survival, twining rate, and lambing interval were predicted from village-based schemes with BLUP selection at 5% selection intensity. The highest genetic gain predicted under BLUB at 5% selection intensity for six months weight within and across village breeding schemes were 1.85 kg and 1.87 kg per year respectively. The rate of inbreeding for both schemes increased as the proportion of rams selected decreased from base to 5% selection intensity. The expected genetic gains were higher as it promotes participation of farmers, cooperation of villages, and achieving concentrated lambing which in turn increase selection intensity and genetic progress. This suggested the possibility for sustainable sheep improvement and conservation through village-based schemes. تفاصيل المقالة

        Typically, lambing percentage is classified as a composite trait and is crucial to profitability in domestic sheep farming. In breeding programs, out-of-season reproduction of sheep is an important tool because seasonal reproduction limits productivity and flexibility. Understanding the complexities of genetic aspects of the none- seasonal reproduction has received significant critical attention in the literature. In this puzzle, the arylalkylamine-N-acetyltransferase (AA-NAT) is a rate-limiting enzyme of the melatonin synthesis pathway and is highlighted as a candidate gene that is responsible for melatonin synthesis and is thus directly associated with out-of-season reproduction in sheep. With this scenario research, we aimed to examine the allele frequency of the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) polymorphism in the AA-NAT gene in 11 native and exotic sheep populations. A total of 220 blood samples were taken from 11 breeds of sheep, including the exotic breeds Romanov (ROMV) and [Awassi (AWAS), Arabi (ARAB), Naaimi (NAIM) Iraqi native sheep] and [Ghezel (GHZL), Makui (MAKU)], Kurdi (KURD), Baluchi (BALCH), Afshari (AFSR) Iranian native sheep] and two Afshari-Booroola and Romanov-Ghezel F1 cross). Here, we describe the Smal-RFLP genotypes and allele frequency patterns of the (c.486A&gt;G) casual single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the exon of AA-NAT within and between the examined sheep breeds. In addition, PCR sequencing methods were used to double-check A/G and confirmation of PCR-RFLP results. This mutation changed the Arg &gt; Gly structure from helix to helix-effective in improving non-seasonal reproduction. Interestingly, the observed variation of G allele ranged from 0.1 to 0.43 in all study breeds. ROMV is a candidate for non-seasonal sheep breeds and its cross expresses the highest G allele frequency among other breeds studied. The frequency of the AA-NAT genotype was significantly different between breeds in this study. Therefore, the exotic 486A&gt;G mutation created a useful mirror to identify genomics aspects of seasonal/non-seasonal reproduction in sheep. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was performed to investigate two polymorphic sites from Cyp19 gene (PvuII and MspI) and one polymorphic site from ER&alpha; gene (SnaBI) in four cattle breeds including Mazandarani, Taleshi, Sistani and Simmental. In overall 278 samples for CYP19 and 206 samples for ER&alpha; marker sites were genotyped using polymerase chain reactionsingle-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) procedure. For CYP19/PvuII, the frequency of A allele ranged from 0.89 in Mazandarani to 0.98 in Taleshi. For CYP19/MspI, Taleshi was the only monomorphic breed with just AA genotype. Other breeds were polymorphic with A allele frequency ranging from 0.93 (Simmental) to 0.98 (Sistani). No BB individuals were observed in the studied sample. Considering two loci in combination with each other, only 5 out of 8 theoretically possible combined genotypes were observed in the genotyped samples. For ER&alpha;/SnaBI, all populations showed polymorphism. The highest and lowest frequencies of A allele were observed in Sistani (0.55) and Simmental (0.96), respectively. Based on Nei&rsquo;s method, the most genetic distance was observed between Sistani and Simmental and the least genetic distance was observed between Mazandarani and Taleshi breeds. The results of the present study showed significant differences in genotypic and allelic frequencies among four investigated breeds. These findings may be used in further researches, such as association studies for performance traits in cattle breeding. تفاصيل المقالة

        A pedigree file consisting of 5860 individuals, 167 sires and 1582 dams collected at Makooei sheep breeding station (MSBS) during a period of 24 years (1990 to 2013) was used to calculate the inbreeding coefficients to reveal any probable effects of inbreeding (F) on the studied traits. The studied traits were classified to the five main groups including body weight, Kleiber ratio, body measurements, greasy fleece weight and reproductive traits. The inbreeding coefficient among the individuals ranged from 0 to 25% with an average of 0.33%, and ranged from 0 to 25% among the ewes with an average of 0.21%. Fluctuations in individual and maternal inbreeding were observed in the period under study. The average generation interval was calculated as 3.6 years. The effective population size of the flock was 51.8 animals. The rate of inbreeding was 0.08% per year and 0.53% per generation. Six different models were applied and likelihood ratio test (LRT) was used to select the appropriate model. Based on the LRT, model II was selected as appropriate model for growth, greasy fleece weight at 6 months of age and kleiber ratio traits. The traits related to the live body weight were affected negatively (P&lt;0.001) by the quadratic individual F. The linear individual regression coefficient of the Kleiber ratio was estimated significantly (P&lt;0.01) as 0.001, as well the linear maternal inbreeding regression was estimated significantly (P&lt;0.05) as 0.0002. In general, body measurements were affected negatively by the quadratic effects of inbreeding (both individual and maternal) and positively by the linear effects of inbreeding. The reproductive traits were studied based on ewe inbreeding coefficient. Among the reproductive traits, the quadratic regression coefficient of conception rate was estimated significantly (P&lt;0.05) as -0.22. Quadratic regression coefficient of litter mean weight per lamb born were estimated significantly (P&lt;0.01) as -0.63 per 0.01 change in the ewe inbreeding coefficient. Therefore, inbreeding should be avoided, except for purposes of genetic breeding whose main objective is the fixation of certain alleles in the population. تفاصيل المقالة

        Ghezel sheep is one of the main breeds in the north-west of Iran which is reared for meat, milk and wool production. Improving reproduction of this breed will have a significant impact on the economic development of local farmers. Therefore, in the present study the effect of simultaneous use of estrus synchronization(controlled internal drug releasing(CIDR) and equine chorionic gonadotropin(eCG)) and flushing diet on reproduction during non-breeding season in Ghezel ewes was determined. A total of 114 three-year-old Ghezel ewes were equally divided into three treatment groups. Group 1 was synchronizing with CIDR and eCG and was flushed for 40 days. Group 2 was flushed only for 40 days and group 3, the control did not receive any treatment at all. Rams also received a flushing diet concurrent with ewes. CIDR application was performed for 12 days, following CIDR withdrawal, each of the group 1 ewes received an intramuscularly injection with 400 IU eCG. Thereafter, all ewes were introduced to the rams. Pregnancy was determined by ultrasound at 50 days after introduction to the rams. Lambing rate in group 1 was 276.32% and the pregnancy rate was 100%. This result was significantly different from group 2 and 3. Although a minor improvement in pregnancy percentage was observed in group 2 in comparison with control group, the overall results suggested that flushing alone was not effective in activating the reproductive system in non-breeding season. This study showed that estrus synchronization using CIDR and eCG accompanied with flushing diet was a suitable technique to improve lamb production during non-breeding season in Ghezel ewes. تفاصيل المقالة

        Genetic erosion has a great risk for local goat genetic resources around the world and in Algeria. This study is aimed to verify the homogeneity of Arabia goat through multivariate analysis. A total of 111 females aged three years or more were involved. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Classification Analysis (HCA) were conducted on 14 quantitative variables. Furthermore, 7 body indices were calculated. Through the PCA, the three first factorial components accounted for 60.50% of the total variability (31.02, 20.04 and 9.44%, respectively). HCA allowed classifying the Arabia population into three groups that differ significantly (p˂0.05): the group 1 (n=30, 27.03% of the total) is constituted by the smallest goats, the group 2 (n=56, 50.45% of the total) is characterized by the highest values of body length, height at withers and chest circumference and finally the group 3 (n=25, 22.52% of the total) is characterized by the highest values of width measurements and canon circumference. Morphology indices calculated did not show a significant difference between the three groups for cephalic index, body index, body length index and thoracic development index. About body ratio, chest dactyl index, and canon thickness index, a significant difference was shown especially with group 3. This work highlighted the non-existent of morphometric similarity in Arabia breed of Laghouat region (Algeria). تفاصيل المقالة

        Pelung chicken, as one of the Indonesian indigenous chicken breeds, is known for its distinct characteristics. Pelung chicken has been an object of selective breeding programs due to its slow-growing performance, particularly in live weight gain. Through selective breeding, the backcross and its reciprocal generations have been produced. This study was aimed to identify the phenotypes, performance in live weight gain, and insulin gene (INS) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) C1549T genotyping. The phenotypes consisted of morphometrics and morphological traits. The tetra-primeramplificationrefractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) method was used to detect the SNP C1549T of the INS gene. The live weight gain of reciprocal backcross (RBC1) outperformed the first backcross (BC1) chickens. Morphometrics and morphological traits of BC1 and RBC1 indicated a directional selection effect towards pelung chicken. The transition mutation of SNP C1549T was only detected in RBC1 chickens as CT genotype (44.44%) and TT genotype (55.56%). The presence of SNP C1549T might have a significant association with the live weight gain of RBC1. T-ARMS-PCR method is suitable for the rapid detection of single nucleotide polymorphisms. Additional studies are required to confirm the association of INS gene polymorphism and live weight gain with a larger population size. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was conducted at Beresa watershed district of Guraghe Administrative Zone, the southern Regional State of Ethiopia to evaluate the on-farm reproductive and egg production performances of local Kei and its F1 crosses with Fayoumi and Rhode Island Red (RIR) chicken breeds under farmers&rsquo; management. The local Kei paternal line was mated with maternal lines of Fayoumi and RIR chickens to produce F1-crosses. Twenty-four households were involved in the study who received 10 chicks from each 3 genotypes (total of 720 chicks). Three hay-box brooders fitted with chick-runs were provided to each household in which the three genotypes were reared. Eggs were collected on a daily basis and body weights were measured at 24, 34 and 52 weeks age. The highest egg fertility was observed in Fayoumi-crosses. The hatchability of total egg set and that of fertile eggs was higher for Fayoumi-crosses and local Kei chickens than for RIR-crosses. The Fayoumi (154 days) and RIR-crosses (161 days) reached age of sexual maturity earlier than local Kei chickens (183 days). The RIR-crosses were heavier (P&lt;0.05) in body weight than Fayoumi-crosses and local Kei. The F1 crosses had significantly (P&lt;0.05) higher rate of egg production on hen-day and hen-housed basis than local Kei chickens. The Fayoumi-crosses produced more (P&lt;0.05) eggs than RIR-crosses. The F1 crosses produced significantly (P&lt;0.05) higher total egg mass than local Kei chickens. Eggs from RIR-crosses were heavier (P&lt;0.05) than Fayoumi-crosses and local Kei chickens. The F1 crosses reached their peak egg production at about 34 weeks of age while local Kei at 38 weeks. The Fayoumi-crosses had significantly higher hen-housed and hen-day egg production rates and survival ability than RIR-crosses. In conclusion, Fayoumi breeds could be a better strategy to upgrade the poor performance of indigenous chicken populations. تفاصيل المقالة

        Breeding objectives and selection criteria are the main component in small ruminant production and these parameters should be identified to formulate sustainable breeding programs. Farmers select breeding stock to be parents of the next generation by using various criteria in different agro ecologies and production systems. However, selection is practiced by livestock keepers without having knowledge of heritability of traits, repeatability and genetic and phenotypic correlation among traits. Selection is practiced by giving more emphasis for qualitative traits such as color and appearance, which are less relevant to production characters. Under smallholder subsistence production system, goats are mainly kept for multipurpose roles and there is no definite breeding goal. The objectives of keeping goats varied based on production system, socio economic factors, and cultural role. The breeding system that is dominantly practiced by farmers is uncontrolled mating which leads to mating of related animals that in turn may cause loss of fitness and reproductive traits due to the occurrence of inbreeding. The main factors that attributed to uncontrolled mating are the presence of communal grazing land, lack of awareness on the consequence of inbreeding, and lack of sufficient breeding bucks in the flocks. To improve the productivity of the indigenous goat population, farmers should identify the breeding objectives and breeding goal traits and selection should be practiced towards those identified traits based on the recorded performances. The objective of this review is thus to highlight the breeding objectives, selection criteria and breeding practices of indigenous goat types in a wide range production systems of Ethiopia by carefully reviewing recently available literature sources. تفاصيل المقالة

        Beef production is an important development area in animal breeding with meat quality being determined by both paratypic and genetic factors. In this regard evaluating genetic material for the presence of desirable allele combinations of genes associated with growth and development indicators, as well as meat qualities of animals have a certain scientific and practical significance. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of growth hormone gene polymorphism on the growth rate of bull calves of different breeds kept in the Bashkortostan Republic. The method of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by the analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphism (PFLP) (SNP GH-L127V) was used to genotype Hereford (115 heads), Limousine (114 heads), Black-and-White (200 heads), Bestuzhev (200 heads) bull calves being fattened. The conducted research showed that there is a similar distribution of genotypes among bull calves of meat breeds with GHLL homozygous genotype being more common (47.83% and 52.63%). Black-and-White and Bestuzhev bull calves have a higher frequency of GHLV heterozygous genotype (62.50% and 59.0%). Hereford, Limousine and black-and-white bulls have a greater frequency of GHL allele (0.69; 0.71; 0.51), Bestuzhev animals have a higher rate of GHV allele (0.62). The paper presents the influence of somatotropin hormone gene polymorphism on some meat productivity and growth rate indicators of young animals. Thus, GHLL-genotyped Hereford, Limousine, and Black-and-White bull calves had significantly higher live weight (pre-slaughter live weight) as well as absolute and average daily live weight gains at the end of rearing. According to the results GHLV-genotyped animals were in the second place and GHVV-genotyped bulls ranked the last. As a result of the one-way analysis of variance, there has been found a high proportion of the studied polymorphism factor in developing meat productivity and growth rate indicators for Limousine, Black-and-White and Hereford bull calves. Genotyping by the GH gene as an additional criterion can be used in the selection of animals to improve cattle meat quality. تفاصيل المقالة

        Dairy herd improvement (DHI) programs and national genetic evaluation at the individual and/or herds levels rely on adjusted 305 d lactation performance predicted by lactation curve functions. These functions are approximations of real curves. To find the best function, multi-step assessment of predicted lactation curves is required. The purpose of this study was to investigate four-step examination of two-parameter Pollott mechanistic function and compare it with two empirical functions (Wood and Wilmink) to choose the one that best suited individual lactation curves in Jersey and Simmental cattle populations, independently. Wilmink had the lowest BIC for both breeds, while the Pollott had the lowest AICc value (although the difference with other functions is negligible) and produced the most typical curves, so could be the best fit. Moreover, the correlations between curve parameters in the Pollott function were the lowest for both breeds; demonstrating the independence of the evaluated parameters and the strength of that. In the best function (Pollott), the mean and annual trends for the estimated total lactation milk yield were 6082.1 kg and 48.01 kg for Simmental, and 6747.9 kg and 148.33 kg for Jersey cows, respectively. Overall, our results confirm that the Pollott's mechanistic function outperforms the other two functions for fitting individual lactation curves. It is more robust in terms of: (1) maximum number of standard curves, (2) lowest AICc, (3) independent curve parameters, and (4) biological interpretation of typical curves. Therefore, it could be recommended for practical implications of fitting and standardization of test-day yield of these two breeds. تفاصيل المقالة

        The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between polymorphism at the MnlI site of MTNR1A gene and production traits of Shal and Romanov crossbreeding. The crossbreeding between Shal and Romanov was done on 600 Shal ewes. For this reason, Shal ewes were laparoscopically and artificially inseminated withthe semen of Romanov breed. For the preparation of genomic DNA, a total of 90 ewes, either Shal (n=50) or Shal &times; Romanov (n=40), were used and an 824 bp fragment of exon 2 of the MTNR1A gene was amplified. In this research, two genotypes MM and Mm were detected in the study Shal population with frequencies of 0.78 and 0.22, respectively, while MM and mm genotypes of the study crossbreeds were detected with 0.125 and 0.0875 frequencies, respectively. However, the mm and Mm genotypes were not detected in Shal and Shal &times; Romanov crossbreeds, respectively. The MnlI marker site in Shal &times; Romanov breeds had a significant effect (P&gt;0.05) on body weight after 3 months (BW3) as the ewes with MM genotypes had significantly higher BW3 than mm individuals. However, no significant difference was observed between MM and mm marker sites for birth weight (BW) and 6-month body weight (BW6). The same results were observed for Shal breeds as when MM and Mm genotypes were detected for BW, BW3 and BW6 traits. In conclusion, in this study, mm genotype as a measurement for litter size in sheep breeds was successfully introduced into Shal &times; Romanov crossbreeds, while their production traits were not affected by MnlI genotypes. تفاصيل المقالة

        Two experimental factors (dietary treatment with or without pelleted-concentrate supplement (PCS) and sex) were investigated in crossbreed post-weaning calves to monitor their effects on performance, hematological profile, and plasma mineral concentration. Twenty-four post-weaning calves were classified according to sexually (either male or female) and randomly distributed into two dietary treatments that were included the first group controlled diet without PCS inclusion (CON) and second was CON plus 20% PCS inclusion (PCS). Results showed that calves received PCS resulted in higher daily gain and feed efficiency thereby had higher final weight in comparison with CON (p &lt; 0.01). These results can be associated with higher energy intake in the PCS group (p &lt; 0.05) although the dry matter intakes (DMI) were similar (P&gt;0.05). Interaction effects were not detected on calves performance, hematology, and plasma mineral concentration (P&gt;0.05). Hematological profile and plasma mineral concentration were not affected by dietary treatment, sex, and their interaction (P&gt;0.05) except for hemoglobin in the PCS group were higher than the CON group (p &lt; 0.05). To conclude, the mixture of probiotics, essential oils and mineral premix was given in 20% PCS inclusion showed a synergistic beneficial effect as shown in an improved of calves performance (i.e daily gain, feed efficiency, and final body weight) without affecting blood composition profile as well as plasma calcium and phosphorus concentrations. تفاصيل المقالة

        The effects of increasing the laying period day-length from 13 to 16 hours were examined in Ross (308) broiler breeders. The birds reared on 8-h photoperiods and then were photo-stimulated at 21 weeks by increasing the photoperiods from 8 h of light, 16 h of darkness (8L:16D) to 11L:13D. Then the birds were given an additional 60 min of light per week cumulatively, such that in different experimental groups the 12L:12D, 13L:11D, 14L:10D, 15L:9D and 16L:8D photoperiods were achieved in 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 weeks of age, respectively. The photoperiods remained unchanged until the experiment was finished at 50 weeks of age. The 16L:8D group had a poorer feed conversion and less egg production and egg mass than the other 3 groups (P&lt;0.05). The total settable egg percentage was significantly lower for 15L:9D and 16L:8D than for 13L:11D and 14L:10D birds (P&lt;0.05). The 13L:11D and 14L:10D h hens had more double-yolked and broken or abnormal eggs, followed by the 15L:9D h birds, and the 16L h birds (P&lt;0.05). The mean egg weight of 14L:10D birds was significantly more than for 16-L h birds (P&lt;0.05), with 13L:11D and 14L:10D birds were intermediated (P&lt;0.05). The percentage of hatchability was higher in 13L:11D h hens followed by the 15L:9D and the 16L:8D birds (P&lt;0.05), with 14L:10D h hens intermediated between 13L:11D and 15L:9D groups. The findings of this study suggest that 13L:11D was the optimal photoperiods for Ross 308 broiler breeders in the laying period up to 50 weeks of age. تفاصيل المقالة

        Inbreeding depression is a harmful phenomenon in livestock which is outcome of inbreeding. Inbreeding is consequence mating between two individuals who are more related to each other than average relatedness in population, which results in reducing in fitness of progenies and genetic variability in populations. Development of high-density genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array facilitated inbreeding measurement as molecular data through calculating autozygosity region in individual genome. Autozygosity refer to chromosomal fragments that are identical-by-descent (IBD) and can be measured using runs of homozygosity (ROH). ROH is therefore defined as contiguous homozygous regions of the genome where two haplotypes inherited from the parents are IBD. The length and frequency of ROH may describe the history and recent bottlenecks in population and also revealed signatures of positive selection in population. Inbreeding coefficient can be derived from ROH (FROH), which is defined as total lengths of all ROH divided by the total autosomal genome length. A lot of studies calculated inbreeding level as FROH in human, cattle, pig, sheep, chicken and other farm animals through SNP array. In most of them, accuracy and preciseness of FROH were confirmed in comparing to FPED, Some of them calculated inbreeding depression by using FROH and some other evaluated the relationship between ROH location with gene and quantitative trait locus (QTL) position on genome. These studies indicated that inbreeding levels in bovine and porcine populations are much higher than those in human populations. Even though most of researches concluded that FROHcan precisely calculated Inbreeding and it can be useful for estimating inbreeding coefficient in absent of pedigree, but some concern were exist in about of panel density, genotyping errors and undetected heterozygosity within continuous ROH which complicated identifying and quantifying ROH. In this review, run of homozygosity is defined and discussed in detail in human and livestock. تفاصيل المقالة

        Tunisian Barbary sheep are well-known for their rusticity and adaptation to harsh environmental conditions, especially, those of the arid climate. Morphometric characteristics of this main breed, although, have not been extensively investigated. In this study, we provide a morphological characterization, via eight body measures, of 249 ewes, aged from one to nine years, and sampled from farms, belonging to two locations, which have been maintained a purebred nucleus of this breed. Analysis of variance revealed that morphometric traits are partially influenced by age group and location with different significance levels. Ewes reached the full morphological dimension broadly between 4 and 6 years of age, except for the tail part that tends to be longer precociously at 1-2 years of age. Thus, having a longer tail at an early age (&lt;2 years), in the genetic architecture of this fat-tailed breed, could represent a form of adaptation to the arid climate, which is the main hypothesis-driven from the present morphometric analysis. This study provides insights into the morphological peculiarities of purebred Barbary ewes under the particular arid environment and reflects some possible adaptive properties, giving rusticity to this indigenous fat-tailed sheep resource. تفاصيل المقالة

        The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of inbreeding on average daily gains and Kleiber ratios in Moghani sheep. Traits included average daily gain from birth to 3 months (ADG1), average daily gain from birth to 6 months (ADG2), average daily gain from 3 months to 6 months (ADG3), average daily gain from 3 months to 9 months (ADG4), average daily gain from 3 months to yearling (ADG5) and corresponding Kleiber ratios (KR1, KR2, KR3, KR4 and KR5, respectively). Data and pedigree information used in this study were collected at the Breeding Station of Moghani sheep during 1987-2005. All the animals were grouped into three classes according to the inbreeding coefficients obtained by their pedigree: the first class included non-inbred animals (F=0%); and the second and third classes included inbred animals (00.10, respectively). There were significant regression coefficients of ADG5 and KR5 on inbreeding of all lambs for changing 1% inbreeding (P&lt;0.01). Indeed, there were significant regression coefficients of ADG3 (P&lt;0.01) and KR3 (P&lt;0.05) on inbreeding of twin-born lambs for a change of 1% in inbreeding. In addition, there were significant regression coefficients of ADG1 (P&lt;0.05) and ADG5 (P&lt;0.05) on inbreeding of male lambs and significant regression coefficient of ADG2 (P&lt;0.05) on inbreeding of female lambs for a change of 1% in inbreeding. Effects of inbreeding on average daily gains and Kleiber ratios in Moghani sheep was not very pronounced in the flock. Planned matings are, however, suggested to avoid accumulation of inbreeding and appearance of its deleterious effects. تفاصيل المقالة

        The success of genomic selection mainly depends on the extent of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers and quantitative trait loci (QTL), number of QTL and heritability (h2) of the traits. The extent of LD depends on the genetic structure of the population and marker density. This study was conducted to determine the effects of marker density, level of heritability, number of QTL, and to compare the accuracy of predicting breeding values using two diverse approaches: GBLUP and BayesA using simulated data under two different distributions of the QTL effect. Thereby, three traits (milk production, carcass weight and mature body weight) were simulated with the heritability of 0.10, 0.30 and 0.50, respectively; for each ovine animal, a genome with three chromosomes, 100 cM each. Three different marker densities was considered (1000, 2000 and 3000 markers) and the number of QTL was assumed to be either 100, 200 or 300. Data were simulated with two different distributions of the QTL effect which were uniform and gamma (&alpha;=1.66 and &beta;=0.4) the marker density, number of the QTL, the QTL effect distributions and heritability levels significantly affected the accuracy of genomic breeding values (P&lt;0.05). The BayesA produced estimates with greater accuracies in traits influenced by a low number of the QTL and with the gamma QTL effects distribution. Based on the findings of this simulation, heritability, as well as dense marker panels, aiming to increase the level of LD between the markers and QTL, is likely to be needed for successful implementation of the genomic selection. تفاصيل المقالة

        In the present study, the polymorphism of myostatin gene (MSTN) in native chickens of Western Azerbaijan Rearing and Breeding Institute was investigated. The blood samples were collected from eighty two randomly selected hens. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples and a fragment of myostatin including 599 bp in promoter and exon 1 was amplified using PCR method. Breeding values for body weight and carcass traits were predicted by univariate animal mixed model analysis, using WOMBAT software. The effects of different SSCP genotypes on breeding and phenotypic values of the studied traits were evaluated by general linear model analysis. Three different single strand conformational polymorphism(SSCP) genotypes as AA, AB and AC were identified, with frequencies of 0.244, 0.549 and 0.207, respectively. Shannon and Nei gene diversity indices and number of effective alleles in the studied population were 0.88, 0.53 and 2.2, respectively, which indicated a high diversity of the studied population. Moreover, the studied population was not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The effect of the SSCP genotypes on breeding and phenotypic values was significant only in the case of breeding value for body weight at 12 weeks of age, whereas, the AC genotype individuals, significantly (P&lt;0.05) had the lowest breeding value for body weight at 12 weeks of age. Based on the results obtained, it could be concluded that the studied fragment of myostatin gene is polymorphic in native chickens of Azerbaijan and could be used for marker assisted selection. تفاصيل المقالة

        A participatory rural appraisal technique (PRAT) was used to obtain information from 132 randomly selected turkey farmers in two out of four agricultural development zones in Kwara state, Nigeria. Data were obtained on socio-occupational status of farmers, their production objectives, experience, flock structure, management practices, marketing and consumption of turkey eggs. The results showed that there was more male turkey farmers (52.27%) than females. The average age of farmers was 52.6 years and was either Christian or Muslim (43.18% vs. 56.82%). Most of the farmers were literate and relied solely on the local breed for their production. The mean flock size was 13 birds per farmer. The observed plumage colours were black, white and lavender. Over 90% of the birds were kept either extensively or in a semi-intensive system using locally available food wastes and grains. The mean mating ratio was 1: 1.66. Birds were selected mainly for body weight, while most of the sale of turkey occurs during Christmas (65.15%). About 79% of farmers consume turkey eggs meant for hatching because of their love for the taste of the eggs or due to the inability of the hen to incubate all eggs at once. Results indicate that turkey production is still at subsistence level characterised by poor breeding, feeding, housing and marketing. Improved turkey production will require a more vigorous public extension services. It also calls for the introduction of improved local or crossbred turkeys with a higher genetic potential. تفاصيل المقالة

        Transhumance is an extensive farming system developed by livestock farmers, that moved their herds between lowlands and uplands, in order to cope with the seasonality of the available forage. The purpose of this study was to examine the transhumant sheep and goat system in Greece highlighting differences in management aspects among the country&rsquo;s regions. Non-parametric statistical methods in a sample of 551 herders were applied to depict management practices while the regions were separated into four groups according to climate and geographical features. Results revealed differences between the groups, adoption of crossbreeding and limitation of grazing in pastures mainly by sheep breeders. The breeding of goats and on average larger herds were met mainly in southern Greece while sheep and mixed type of herds, as well as smaller on average herds were more common in the northern regions of the country. Evidently, transhumance in Greece nowadays preserves its traditional character being accustomed to the demand of the market for larger production however the introduction of the cross or improved dairy breeders should be controlled in order to protect diversity of indigenous mountain breeds. تفاصيل المقالة

        Moroccan goats are characterized by the presence of different populations identified only based on their phenotypes. The objectives of this study were to assess the genetic differentiation of the Draa goat breed and to analyze its genetic structure and its relationships with other local populations using 12 microsatellite markers. The screening was done in South Eastern and Southern Morocco on 192 animals form 5 populations, including Draa, Atlas, Barcha, Ghazzalia breeds, and from a set of goats showing highly variable phenotypes grouped together into &ldquo;undefined goats&rdquo; population. Population structure was assessed by standard diversity indices, multivariate statistics, analysis of molecular variance and bayesian clustering techniques. The mean allelic richness was 6.526, varying from 2.777 to 9.669. More than 88.4% of the total variance was distributed between individuals and only 1.85% was due to differences between populations. The Draa breed had the lowest observed heterozygosity (0.579), the highest inbreeding coefficient (0.161) and a higher number of deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Moreover, it had the highest genetic distances from the other populations. Bayesian clustering showed a high level of admixture between populations, with a single well defined cluster identifiable within Draa breed. It was concluded that the studied Moroccan goat populations have a substantial but weakly structured genetic diversity, with the exception of Draa breed which shows a higher degree of differentiation and population substructure. تفاصيل المقالة

        Developing effective selection programs for improving the performance of livestock requires taking the economical selection indices into account. The present study was performed for comparing four selection indices developed in Kermani sheep through simulated data. The relative importance of traits was determined based on the estimated economic values and consequently, the most beneficial traits were applied to develop the selection indices. The considered selection indices were different combinations of traits including ewe body weight (EBW), annual wool weight (AWW) and total weaning weight of lambs per exposed ewe (TWWEE). The first index included all three mentioned traits (EBW, AWW, and TWWEE). The second, third and fourth indices were included (AWW, TWWEE), (EBW, TWWEE) and (TWWEE), respectively. In general, the obtained results indicated that under all the developed selection indices the aggregate genotype, selection index and economic progress increased by increasing in the population size and decreasing in ram ratio, but resulted in reduced inbreeding average. In more cases, the aggregate genotype decreased by removing a trait from the index. The comparisons among indices indicated that the most suitable selection index for this breed under rural production system is the first index which included EBW, AWW, and TWWEE. This index had a maximum selection index average, aggregate genotype, and economic progress. تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of this study was to describe inbreeding and population structure in Sangsari sheep breeding station. For this reason, data from 7028 Sangsari sheep which were collected during 1987-2014 in Sangsari sheep breeding station located near to Damghan city, Semnan province were used. Lambs born during 2010-2014 were considered as reference population. The genetic structure analysis of the population was realized by the ENDOG (v.4.8) software. Mean inbreeding of total population and reference population was 0.28% and 0.70%, respectively. Average relatedness, realized effective population size based on individual increase in inbreeding, effective numbers of founders (fe),and founder genome equivalents (fg) were estimated 0.59%, 148.75, 140 and 49.97, respectively. Mean generation interval in present population was 4.24 years and average number of equivalent to discrete generations was estimated as 1.64. Average coancestry, effective number of ancestors (fa) and average equivalent complete generation were calculated 1.0005%, 76 and 3.02, respectively. Ratio of fe/fa which expresses the effect of population bottlenecks was 1.84. 50% of total genetic variation was explained by the 32 most influential ancestors. By monitoring parameters associated with genetic diversity and breeding management, the reduction of genetic diversity and probable harmful effects resulting from excessive increase of inbreeding can be prevented. تفاصيل المقالة

        &beta;-lactoglobulin is one of the important milk proteins in several ruminants like goats, sheep and cattle. This study was performed to investigate the genetic polymorphism of exon 7 and 3&rsquo; UTR region of &beta;-lactoglobulin (BLG) gene and its association with milk composition in 120 unrelated individuals of Iranian indigenous Khalkhali goats. Purified polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products (427 bp) were sequenced under standard conditions using Sanger sequencing. Alignment of sequenced fragments against reference sequence leads to identification of one single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), substitution A (frequency equal to 0.44) to C (frequency equal to 0.56) in the 3&rsquo; UTR region of BLG gene. Observed frequencies of AA, AC and CC genotypes were 0.12, 0.64 and 0.24, respectively. The effects of identified genotypes on milk composition were analysed using general linear model. We found that BLG gene genotypes have a significant effect on milk parameters except for lactose percentage (p &lt; 0.05). The milk of goats with AA and AC genotypes had higher protein and fat percentages, respectively, in compaired with other genotypes (p &lt; 0.05). Obtained results revealed that, identified genotypes in the BLG gene of Khalkhali goats is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was aimed to compare the open nucleus breeding systems for Iranian buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis). To compare the genetic gain and inbreeding variations, three levels of nucleus size (5, 10, and 15), three levels of male transfer rate from the nucleus to commercial (0.25, 0.5, and 0.75), and two levels of female transfer rate from commercial to the nucleus (0.25 and 0.5) were simulated by QMsim software. Comparing different strategies, genetic improvement declined with the increase of the nucleus population in the total population. Our results showed that the optimal combination of total genetic value improvement and inbreeding was obtained for scenarios of the open nucleus breeding strategy with 10% herd size, 75% male transfer rate from the nucleus to commercial, and 25% female transfer rate from commercial to the nucleus. Results confirmed that describing breeding goals, determination of an appropriate selection index, and considering open nucleus breeding systems along with optimal scenarios of male and female transfer between the nucleus and commercial herds, can lead us to genetic improvement as well as reduced inbreeding, and thereby development in the traits performance of Iranian buffaloes. تفاصيل المقالة

Each pen consisted of 10 hens and 1 rooster. The birds received experimental diets at 74 weeks of age. Performance data were recorded daily, whereas egg quality traits were determined every 4 weeks. To determine the settable hatch, fertile hatch, embryonic mortality, real hatch, chick quality, chick sexing, chick weight and relative chick weight, eggs from each pen were collected three times a week, marked and incubated in a commercial hatchery for 21 days. Two blood samples were taken from two hens in each pen to assay Newcastle and Influenza antibody titers every two weeks.Dietary fennel extract supplementation significantly increased egg production, chick quality and improved Newcastle antibody titer over time (P&lt;0.022). Furthermore, the addition of FE to diet significantly decreased double yolk and pewee eggs (P&lt;0.001). Yolk color was affected by the addition of vitamin D3 in the whole experimental period. Significant interactions between FE and vitamin D3 on embryonic mortality were observed. The results of this study showed that supplementation of diet with FE exhibits beneficial effects on egg production, double yolk eggs, peewee eggs, chick quality, and Newcastle antibody titer. Dietarysupplementation of vitamin D3improved yolk color with no adverse effect on productive performance. تفاصيل المقالة

        Crossbreeding in sheep is strategically used to improve production and reproduction, especially when pastures have low quality. The objective of this study was to compare growth performance, birth and weaning body weights, and survivability between purebred Balouchi (n=53) and crossbred Balouchi &times; Romanov (n=114) lambs. In addition, carcass characteristics (n=24) were determined. Balouchi ewes were inseminated with Romanov semen to produce crossbred lambs. All experimental lambs were weaned at 77 d of age and slaughtered at 10 months of age. Birth body weight of the purebred Balouchi lambs was significantly greater than that of the crossbred lambs (3.75 vs. 3.56 kg, P&lt;0.01). However, weaning body weight (16.6 vs. 12.4 kg) and average daily gain from birth until weaning (152.2 vs. 126.0 g/d) and slaughter (125 vs. 95 g/d) were greater (P&lt;0.05) for the crossbred lambs than for the purebred lambs. Slaughter body weight at 10-month age (36.9 vs. 36.1 kg) tended to be greater (P=0.08) for the crossbred lambs. Litter size was also increased by crossbreeding (1.13 vs. 1.00), but lamb survivability was not different between the two groups. The fat-tail-free carcass yield tended to increase with crossbreeding. Crossbreeding increased (P&lt;0.05) the weights of testis (0.24 vs. 0.16 kg), liver (0.61 vs. 0.52 kg), heart (0.15 vs. 0.12, kg), and lung (0.47 vs. 0.40 kg), while it decreased the weights of skin (3.16 vs. 3.72 kg), fat-tail (0.30 vs. 1.29 kg), and total internal fats (1.08 vs. 2.06 kg). It is concluded that crossbreeding Balouchi ewes with Romanov&rsquo;s semen resulted in improved litter size, weaning and slaughter body weights, average daily gains from birth until weaning and slaughter, and carcass characteristics without affecting lamb survivability. Therefore, crossbreeding can be a profitable strategy to increase lamb (meat) production in Balouchi sheep. تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive efficiency of short and long term treatment with progestagens in addition to pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) in Arabian ewes during the non-breeding season. A total of 56 ewes were divided into three groups: in group I vaginal sponges (60 mg medroxy progesterone acetate; MAP) were applied and removed after 6 days; in group II, vaginal MAP sponges were removed 14 days following insertion while group III served as control group. The first two groups were intramuscularly injected with of 600 IU PMSG, following sponge removal. Parameters such as estrus response rate, duration of estrus, pregnancy rate and fecundity were evaluated. There were no significant differences in estrus response rate and fecundity rate between groups I and II (P&gt;0.05). However, differences were significant when these two treatment groups were coMAPred with control group. In group I, duration of estrus was significantly higher than group II (P&lt;0.05). In addition, pregnancy rate in group I was significantly higher than group II (P&lt;0.05). It was concluded that short-term sponge treatment (6 days) had better performance when coMAPred with long-term sponge treatment (14 days) in Arabian ewes. تفاصيل المقالة

        Today&rsquo;s large fat tail lost its importance because of rearing condition and consumers&rsquo; demands. Therefore, recording fat tail weight on live animals is important to selecting animals for reduced fat tail weight. The study was conducted to predict the fat tail weight of five different genetic groups of lambs obtained from a mating system between fat-tailed and thin-tailed parents. An Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) procedure was used for prediction performance of different structures (40 levels) and algorithms (5 levels). Eight measurements, including birth type (2 levels), sex (2 levels), breed composition (5 levels), live body weight and four morphological assessments were used as ANN model&rsquo;s inputs. The results showed that ANN model with adequate structure and algorithm can accurately predict the tail weights and compositions of the studied breeds. Our results indicate that with increase of neurons in first hidden layers, the prediction accuracies were increase dramatically. Back propagation algorithm (BP) was the best algorithm with higher stable R2 and lower stable root mean squire error (RMSE) in different structures. BP algorithm with 4 and 2 neurons in the first and second hidden layer, respectively, had more ability to predict fat-tail weight in different genetic groups. Best ANN model provided 0.962, 0.997 and 0.988 R2 values and 338.156, 43.689 and 117.306 of RMSE for testing, training and the overall data sets, respectively. The study showed that, an ANN model based on the BP algorithm, have high potential to predict fat-tail weight as an important economic trait in sheep rearing systems. تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of this study was to test the genotypes effect of DGAT1 gene on breeding value in Iranian Holstein milk production traits. For this purpose, 103 semen samples of registered bulls were collected and then genotyped for partial region of DGAT1 gene. The studied traits were milk yield (MY), fat yield (FY), protein yield (PY), fat percentage (FP) and protein percentage (PP). First lactation records of 43044 dairy cattle from 2000 to 2007 were used. The PCR-RFLP method was used for genotyping DGAT1 gene. The Hardy Weinberg equilibrium for allele and genotype frequencies was analyzed with Chi-square test using PoP-Gen software. Genetic parameters of studied traits were estimated by REML method under animal model with DFREML software. The breeding value of individual was predicted by BLUP method. Different genotype effect of 97 of 103 proven bulls on breeding value of milk production traits were investigated by GLM procedure of SAS (9.1) software.The mean of breeding value of proven bulls with different genotype were compare with Duncan test. The observed genotype frequency results showed KK (0.592), KA (0.408) and AA (zero) and the allele frequency obtained was K (0.7961) and A (0.2039). The KK genotype was confirmed by sequencing method and the K allele, with long of 411 bp, was registered in gene bank of NCBI with accession number EU077528. Estimated heritability of studied traits were 0.35 (0.02), 0.33 (0.02), 0.31 (0.017), 0.28 (0.02) and 0.27 (0.016) for MY, FY, PY, FP and PP, respectively. The average breeding values of MY, FY, PY, FP and PP were estimated as: 180.2 (28.8) kg, 3.7 (1.26) kg, 2.3 (1.06) kg, -0.036 (0.014) % and -0.03 (0.01) %, respectively. The average breeding value of MY for KA and KK genotypes were 288.8 and 109.6 kg, respectively and the difference was significant (P&lt;0.01). The average breeding values of FY in bulls for KK and KA genotypes were 5.6 kg and 0.91 kg, respectively (P&gt;0.05). The average breeding values of PY for KA and KK genotypes were 0.025 and 5.5 kg, respectively (P&lt;0.05). Differences between means of breeding values for FP and PP were significant (P&lt;0.05), these values for genotype KK and KA were -0.009% and -0.067% for fat and -0.016% and -0.059% for protein, respectively. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was conducted to investigate the scenario of buffalo production and reproduction under different farming systems at Subarno Char, in the coastal area of Bangladesh. A total of 14 farms were randomly selected and studied for various traits live weight (LW); daily milk yield (DMY); lactation length (LL); lactation production (LP); calving interval (CI); gestation length (GL); post partum heat period (PPH); age at first calving (AFC) and service per conception (SPC) of buffaloes through pre designed questionnaire, direct observation and available records. The LW (372.31&plusmn;14.64 kg) and DMY (1.99&plusmn;0.16 liter/day/cow) were found to be highest under semi-intensive bathan farming systems than other systems, however, the LL (275.25&plusmn;2.857 days) and LP (628.80&plusmn;34.49 liter) were found higher under extensive bathan farming system irrespective of breeds. On the other hand, LW (390.54&plusmn;14.06 kg), DMY (2.82&plusmn;0.13 liter/day/cow), LL (284.96&plusmn;3.31 days) and LP (899.75&plusmn;52.83 liter) were higher in River type buffaloes than other types. The GL (305.37&plusmn;0.72 days), CI (640.34&plusmn;51.31 days), AFC (54.72&plusmn;1.57 months) and SPC (1.62&plusmn;0.21) were found lowest under semi-intensive bathan farming system, but PPHP (134.04&plusmn;5.30 days) was found lowest under the extensive bathan farming system. The GL (301.74&plusmn;0.63 days), PPHP (123.21&plusmn;7.50 days), AFC (47.00&plusmn;1.35 months) and SPC (1.40&plusmn;0.16) were found lowest in River type buffaloes, but CI (660.31&plusmn;43.82) was lowest in crossbred buffalo cows. The birth weight was highest (28.28&plusmn;0.48 kg) under semi-intensive bathan farming system. Productive and reproductive performances of buffaloes under the study area found were moderate. The profitability of buffalo rearing under extensive farming system was higher than other. The findings of this study may assist farmers and policy makers in making decisions for future buffalo farming and undertaking the genetic improvement program to increase the milk production in Bangladesh. تفاصيل المقالة

        Pedigree information of 3972 Holstein cows and bulls, from 1961 to 2008, was used to calculate inbreeding coefficients and their effects on production traits and subclinical mastitis of dairy farm cows inAzerbaijan province,Iran. Inbreeding was included in a linear mixed model as a class variable. Data were analyzed using the PROC MIXED of SAS by MIVQUE method. Results showed that average inbreeding coefficients were inferior in total population and inbred cows (0.8 and 1.3% in total population and inbred cows, respectively). Although the rate of inbreeding coefficients was low, inbreeding had decreasing effects (P&lt;0.01) on milk, fat, and protein yields, while increasing effects (P&lt;0.01) on prevalence of subclinical mastitis. Furthermore, animals with inbreeding coefficients between 0.59 to 1.11%showed a reduction in milk, fat, and protein yields by 2.4, 2 and 2%, respectively; whereas, animals with inbreeding coefficients between 1.11 and 1.75% showed a reduction in milk, fat, and protein yields by 2, 3.7 and 2.7%, respectively. تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of this study was to estimate amount of inbreeding coefficient in Shal sheep and its impact on growth performance. Pedigree information and body weight at different ages (birth weight, 3 month weight, 6 month weight, 9 month weight and 12 month weight) were used from 6692 lambs from 90 rams and 1007 ewes. Data were collected on Ghazvin sheep breeding station during 1997-2013. Estimation of inbreeding coefficient was done by CFC program and quantifying the individual inbreeding regression of traits was run by wombat software. Number of inbred animals at pedigree was 1616 lambs, equal to 24.15% of total population. The average of inbreeding coefficient on whole population and inbred population were 1.51% and 6.28%, respectively. Regression coefficients per 1% inbreeding for birth weight, 3 month weight, 6 month weight, 9 month weight and 12 months weight were estimated as -0.001, -0.017, -0.005, -0.019 and -0.019 kg, respectively. The highest inbreeding coefficient was 31.25% and most of inbred animals had inbreeding coefficients lower than 5%. These results confirmed the low level of inbreeding in the population. Annual trend of inbreeding coefficient on population average was 0.07 and non significant statistically. Applying a designed mating system like cross-breeding could be a suitable method to avoid inbreeding depression. تفاصيل المقالة

        The broad goal of this research was to examine the nature of the Melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) locus on the coat color phenotype of seven goat breeds with different color coat. Blood samples were collected from five Iranian indigenous (Khalkhal, Markhor, Naeini, Najdi and Tali) and two exotic (Cashmere and Saanen) goat breeds. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique and DNA sequencing were used to detect polymorphism of theMC1Rgene. Digestion of polymerase chain reaction products with EarI revealed two alleles of A and B and three genotypes of AA, AB and BB. The observed allele size was similar to previous reports. The genotype and gene frequencies for each breed were determined and shown to be variable among the breeds. In the goat breeds with black / brown coat color, AA genotype showed a higher frequency than white color goat breeds. In this aspect, Tali had only AA and AB genotypes and Cashmere had AB and BB genotypes. Comparison of genotype frequencies using &chi;2 test showed significant (P&lt;0.01) differences between colored and white coat phenotypes. The Lys226Arg (A676G) mutation of the MC1R was verified by sequencing distinguished the B allele from the A allele. The phylogenetic tree also separated these breeds into two clusters, including exotic breeds with white / yellow coat color and indigenous breeds with black/brown phenotype. A replacement mutation was verified in Lys to Arg at position 676 bp. In conclusion, the results of this study confirmed the previous findings onMC1R gene as a useable tool for breed identification and white mohair marketing and production. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was carried out to investigate the direct and indirect responses to selection for four-week body weight (4 week body (wk BW)) and four-week breast weight (4 week breast weight (wk BRW)) and to determine the genetic contribution of reminder founders to the last generation. A total number of 351 birds were equally allocated to three lines, including two selected lines (S1 and S2 for BW and breast weight, respectively) along with a control (C) line. Total net genetic improvement for BW and BRW in S1 and S2 lines were 31.6, 7.6 and 28.0 and 7.3 g, respectively. Genetic correlations between 4 wk BW and carcass traits (0.85 to 0.95) and phenotypic correlations (0.43 to 0.93) were positively high in S1 and S2 lines. The mean percentage of inbreeding for population and inbred birds in S1 and S2 lines were 0.95, 7.75 and 0.64 and 11.3, respectively. The number of retained founders to the last generation of S1 was more than S2. However, more balance genetic contribution to the last generation was outlined by the founders in S2 line. The BW can be used as a selection criterion to improve the carcass traits because there is a strong correlation between BW and carcass traits, selection for BW is easier to record and also its improvement costs are lower than selection for BRW. Meanwhile, long term response to selection is needed to preserve alleles from the lowest contributed founders. تفاصيل المقالة

        This experiment was carried out in a Zn-deficient calcareous soil to study the effects of Zn deficiency on shoot dry weight, shoot content, and concentration of Zn, and also to identify new sources of Zn efficiency for further improvement of Zn efficiency with (+Zn = application of 5 mg Zn/kg soil) and without Zn supply (-Zn = non-application of zinc) on 50 durum wheat genotypes for 45 days. Variance analysis for shoot dry matter, shoot Zn concentration, shoot Zn content, and Zn utilization efficiency revealed that these traits were significantly (P&lt; 0.01) affected by Zn application and durum wheat genotypes. Results revealed that dry weight of shoot and shoot Zn accumulation were considerably improved by Zn fertilizers. Furthermore, there was a considerable genetic variation in the expression of Zn deficiency symptoms (slight to severe), Zn efficiency (49-100%), shoot Zn concentration (7.1-20.1 and 10.4-33.1 mg Zn/kg dry weight under Zn deficient and sufficient, respectively), shoot Zn content (0.31-1.47 and 0.7-2.9 &micro;g/plant under Zn deficient and sufficient, respectively), and Zn utilizationefficiency (59.2-139.1 and 34.3-94.0 g dry weight/&micro;g Zn under Zn deficient and sufficient, respectively) within durum wheat genotypes.In general, the presence of lines (AAZ, 4025, 45868, 45558 and Azarbayjan) with greater Zn efficiency than Zn efficient durum wheat cultivars (Ege-88, Aydin-93 and Akcakale-2000) indicates that the new lines can be used to improve current levels of Zn efficiency in durum wheat genotypes. تفاصيل المقالة

        A mapping population of 96 inbred line derived by cross Neda (NAD) and Ahlamitaroum (ATM), was used to detect quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for fresh biomass (FB), root length (RL), shoot length (SL), root number (RN), leaf width (LW), root fresh weight (RFW), root dry weight (RDW) and K content (KC) under K deficiency condition in rice. Two parents and 96 inbred lines were phenotyped for the traits by growing them in K deficiency nutrient solution. In K deficiency, 16 QTL was able to explain a great deal of phenotypic variation in features. qSL-7a, qRL-6, qRL-10b, qRL-12b, qRN-6b, qRN-12b, qLL-6, qLL-7, qLW-6b, qLW-10b, qLW-12a, qLW-12b, qLW-12c, qKC-6b, qKC-10b and qKC-12c were on chromosomes 6, 7, 10 and 12. Their LOD are 4.732, 5.826, 5.01, 5.067, 11.346, 5.867, 5.973, 5.85, 7.077, 8.055, 5.577, 6.439, 8.012, 14.057, 6.432 and 858/6, respectively. In normal conditions, 5 QTL with a large effect were identified. qKCN-6c, qKCN-7a, qKCN-10, qKCN-12b and qKUN-6 were located on chromosomes 6, 7, 10, 12 and 6, respectively. Owing to the high percentage of explanation, the major QTLs can be a suitable candidate for marker assistance programs in recombinant Iranian rice lines after validation. تفاصيل المقالة

        The disadvantages encoutered for the multiplication of the Argan tree are the embryonic and integumentary dormancy, which directly affects the rate and the delay of germination, the standards of aggregation of the plants for the reforestation and in parallel on the stay time in the nursery. The study was conducted on Argan tree (Argania spinosa (L) Skeels) seedlings from two types of experimental germination of the kernels in the nursery: one pre-treatment with hot water and the second without pre-treatment (control); the aim is to see the effect of the duration of germination on the growth of the seedlings. The walnuts germinating for a short time gave plants of almost convergent height (varying from 23 to 25 cm), i.e., the average height was very representative and similar to the height of their plants (24.94 cm). On the other hand, walnuts with a long germination period produced seedlings of varying heights (ranging from 09 to 27 cm), with an average height different from their range of seedlings (17.46 cm). Regarding diameter growth, germination time did not affectyoung plants. When the germination period is short, it is possible to obtain homogeneous seedlings that meet phytotechnical standards for reforestation. According to this study, Argan seedlings should not be kept in the nursery for more than 33 weeks (08 months); otherwise, there is a risk of a poorly formed root system. تفاصيل المقالة

        This study was aimed to obtain polyploid plants of viola (Viola acuminata Ledebour) using the antimitotic agent colchicine. Experiments consisted in using colchicine on ungerminated seeds. The seeds were plunged into colchicine solutions in concentrations of 0.01, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20% for 24 and 48 h. Polyploidy levels (diploid, tetraploid and hexaploid) were firstly detected by chromosome counting (karyotype), and then confirmed by anatomical and morphological parameters. The greatest percentage of polyploids was induced with 0.10% colchicine for 24 h. The chromosome number was 2n = 18 in diploids, 2n = 36 in tetraploid, and 2n = 54 in hexaploid. Differences in some morphological and anatomical parameters were significant between polyploid and control plantlets. The highest number of chloroplasts in guard cells was obtained in plantlets obtained from treated seed with 0.10% colchicine for 24 h. Exposure times of 48 h did not significantly influence polyploidisation. New ornamental varieties with improved characteristics may be producedby polyploid induction. تفاصيل المقالة

        The aim of this study was to investigate the role of livestock cooperatives in improving economic status of animal holders in Hamedan province. The study has used a surveying methodology. For gathering data a structured questionnaire was used and its reliability was calculated by Cronbach's Alpha test and it was (&alpha;=0.80). The research samples consisted of 300 animal holders (beef cattle breeders) included 150 members of livestock cooperatives and 150 non-members. In order to data analysis both correlation coefficients and t test were used. Results showed that there was a negative relationship between the age and membership in the livestock co-ops, there was also a positive relationship between education level and membership. Results revealed a difference between two groups of animal holders in terms of red meat production. This shows that members of livestock co-ops had a higher meat production in comparison with the non-members. In addition, the members of livestock co-ops participated in more training courses and they had a higher mean on technical knowledge than non-members. [Samira Jeyhooni et al.

        The purpose of this study was to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of Participatory Plant Breeding (PPB). Seventy-six breeders were randomly selected from among 95 breeders who were working at the Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Karaj, Iran. Data were collected by a questionnaire as the main data collection instrument. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was approved by a panel of agricultural extension and plant breeding experts. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated and it turned out to be high, ranging from 0.83-0.92. The descriptive findings of the study suggested that the breeders had generally positive perception toward using PPB. The correlation analysis results showed that there is a positive and significant (p&gt;0.01) correlation among the levels of familiarity with PPB, advantages, and breeders&rsquo; perception toward the use of PPB. In addition, there was a negative and significant (p&gt;0.01) correlation between breeders' perception of the disadvantages faced by PPB and their perception of using participatory plant breeding. Finally, stepwise regression analysis indicated that the advantages and disadvantages of PPB explained about 58% of the variations in breeders&rsquo; perception toward using PPB. تفاصيل المقالة

        Since a lot of material and human expenditure are spent for implementing extension education programs for rural people, one of the most important aspects of these programs is &ldquo;effectiveness evaluation&rdquo; and the rate of accomplishing program objectives, as well as determining program obstacles and solving them for future plans. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of rural extension education programs regarding sheep breeding. To achieve this purpose, the first phase of the present study analyzed effectiveness evaluation models using documentary studies. Then, an Effectiveness Evaluation of Extension Education Programs (EEEEP) model was designed and accomplished in the form of evaluating a rural education program. The second phase used an experimental research method in one-group pretest-posttest design. A purposeful sampling method was used for selecting research sample (n=32) from sheep breeders in Pasargad Township, Fars Province, Iran. The data gathering instrument was a questionnaire whose validity and reliability were confirmed with the Lincoln and Guba assessment method. The results revealed that participants&rsquo; satisfaction with the programs was higher than average in three dimensions. Also, these courses had a significant influence on the attitude and knowledge of the participants about the educated subjects. The participants&rsquo; main problem was the difficulty of attending the class. Finally, based on the findings, some executive recommendations have been provided. تفاصيل المقالة

        The primary steps in breeding programs are identifying and selecting superior fruit trees genotypes. This study was conducted to achieve the most productive, self-compatible, and cold tolerated almond [Prunus dulcis (Mill.)D.A.webb] genotypes, by determining genetic variability of 103 progenies resulted by crossing &lsquo;Tuono&rsquo; and &lsquo;Shokoufe&rsquo; during two years, 2016-2017 at Meshkin Abad Horticulture Research Station in Karaj (50.9&deg;E, 35. &deg; 7521 N, 1245 m height, with moderate and cold climates, shallow, calcareous soils, with a pH = 7) according to almond description (Gulcan, 1985) for selecting superior hybrids. The genetic relationship between selected hybrids was carried out by using genetic correlation. Minimum, maximum, and comparing mean results represented hybrids&rsquo; variability. Correlations indicated significant positive and negative variability. 20 components of effective traits justified 77.4% of the total variance. Hybrid separation was carried out by clustering analysis using 20 components. In 10th Euclidean distance, hybrids were separated into 17 groups. Fruit, nut, kernel, productivity, and vigor characteristics were the main factors in grouping clusters, respectively. In the first factor, traits including fruit size (0.70), fruit weight (0.880), fruit length (0.741), fruit width (0.769), fruit thickness (0.722), nut weight (0.872), nut length (0.729), nut width (0.795), nut thickness (0.673), kernel weight (0.849), kernel length (0.635) and kernel width (0.837). In the second factor, there were traits including productivity (0.797), number of nuts per tree (0.925), fruit weight per tree (0.932), and nut weight per tree (0.905). In the third factor, traits such as trunk diameter (0.60), the radius of expansion in two directions north-south (0.755) and east-west (0.804), leaf density (0.60), and growth habit (0.60). These third components could justify about 14%, 7%, and 5% of the total variance. The most variable traits were growth habit, high quality, bearing habit, flowering and leafing time, fruit size; date of harvesting, nut shape and the lowest variable trait was kernel taste. تفاصيل المقالة

        High genetic diversity is the guarantee of success in a breeding program. Therefore, it is important to study the genetic diversity in plant populations. Because Iran consider as one of the primary walnut origin centers, this study was conducted to evaluate the genetic diversity of the walnut population in the Bavanat region in the Southwestern Iran during the 2010-2015 growing season. For this purpose, 349 walnut seed-originated walnut trees from seven different regions of Bavanat were pre-selected based on local information. After primary evaluation, 92 walnut genotypes were selected to be further studied. The phenological and pomological characteristics of the genotypes were evaluated based on IPGRI descriptor. The results showed that high genetic diversity was observed in the studied germplasm in terms of important horticultural traits, especially nut and kernel weight, kernel percentage, nut size, shell thickness, lateral bearing, leafing date, and harvest date. The nut weight, kernel percentage, kernel weight, and shell thickness varied between 6.75-16.33 g, 40.15-67.22%, 3.30-8.15 g, and 0.58-2.30 mm, respectively. Cluster analysis classified the studied genotypes into six main groups. Furthermore, correlations among some horticultural traits indicated that kernel weight, nut weight, difficulty of removal of kernel halves, and shell thickness are main traits in determining kernel percentage. Also, lateral bearing, leafing date, nut weight, and nut size determine the final yield of walnut trees. In conclusion, high biodiversity in the walnut population of Bavanat region provides unique plant genetic resources for walnut genetic improvement programs to achieve desirable commercial cultivars and rootstocks. تفاصيل المقالة

        Simple sequence repeat (SSR markers or microsatellites), based on the specific PCR amplification of DNA sequences, are becoming the markers of choice for molecular characterization of a wide range of plants because of their high polymorphism, abundance, and codominant inheritance. Different methods have been used for the analysis of the SSR amplified fragments being submarine agarose electrophoresis the more suitable method for the routine application. In this work we have performed a comparative study of the utilization of four different types of low melting (Metaphor&reg;, Sea Kem&reg;, and MS-8&reg;) and regular (LD-2&reg;) agaroses and two different staining protocols using Ethidium Bromide and Gel Red Nucleic Acid Gel Sating&reg;. Almond cultivars assayed included the Spanish cultivars &lsquo;Anto&ntilde;eta&rsquo;, &lsquo;Marta&rsquo;, &lsquo;Penta&rsquo;, &lsquo;Tardona&rsquo; &lsquo;Desmayo&rsquo; and &lsquo;Guara&rsquo;, the French cultivars &lsquo;Ferragn&eacute;s&rsquo; and &lsquo;R1000&rsquo;, the USA cultivar &lsquo;Mission&rsquo;, the Tunisian cultivar &lsquo;Achaak&rsquo;, the Italian cultivar &lsquo;Tuono&rsquo; and the Australian cultivar &lsquo;Chellaston&rsquo;. SSR detection using Metaphor&reg; agarose gel electrophoresis was the most efficient with higher resolution and would be able to resolve most of allelic variation in comparison with the other three agaroses assayed. In addition, gel staining using Ethidium Bromide showed similar results than the GelRedTM Nucleic Acid Gel Stain&reg; although it is much more toxic. The use of MetaPhor&reg; agarose and GelRedTM Nucleic Acid Gel Stain&reg; appears good indicated for molecular characterization of mapping of population due to its good resolution in comparison with the rest of agaroses, less toxicity in comparison with the use of Ethidium Bromide, and lower cost and easier routine application in comparison with the automatic capillary sequencing. تفاصيل المقالة

        Iran is one of the most important regions for origin and diversification of wild almond species in the world. Over 20 species, naturally distributed in many regions, have been identified to date in Iran. These can be used as rootstocks in different Prunus species such as almond or peach due to their adaptability to severe (drought) environmental conditions and resistance to some pests and diseases. Results showed that P. eburnea had the most stem biomass, and P. scoparia the least leaf area and the largest root system among the three species, which can indicate better adaptation to drought conditions. The correlations between the measured traits suggest that the relationship between shoot and root morphology is unique for each species. In addition, results indicated that P. eburnea had the highest seed germination percentage and P. elaeagnifolia the lowest. Finally, there was significant difference between wild rootstocks in grafting success, with P. scoparia and P elaeagnifolia showing the best behavior. تفاصيل المقالة

        In this study, the karyo-systematic studies on the Iranian wild almond species A .communis L., A. corduchoruom Bornm., A. trichamygdalus woronow, Amygdalus lycioides Var. horrida Spach were done by the karyological methods. The meristem cells of the root tip were used for these studies. In each species, ten suitable metaphase plates were chosen and photographed so that the morphology of the chromosomes was completely obvious. The standard karyotype was prepared for the species separately and the parameters of the chromosomes, including the total length of the chromosomes, long arm, short arm, arm ratio, and centromer index, were calculated. There was a significant difference between all of the species that can be employed to recognize the species. All of the studied species were diploid, and the numbers of the chromosomes was 2n=16. The base number of the chromosomes in all of the species was X=8. In Iran, the average size of chromosomes in species of this genus was 2.42 micrometer. . Also, there was a significant difference between all of the homologous chromosomes according to the measured cytological characters. The similarity and the difference between the species were evaluated on the basis of the cytological specificities. The domestic species of A. communis L. had the most similarity with the species of Amygdalus lycioides Var. horrida Spach, and the species of A. trichamygdalus woronow and A. corduchoruom Bornm, also had the most similarity with each other. Finally, the studied species were classified into two cytologically groups. تفاصيل المقالة

        Abstract Micronutrients deficiency stress is one of the most important dangers for increasing the yield and good production of crops in the world. In order to evaluate genetic diversity of nineteen durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var durum) genotypes to identify the most zinc-deficient stress resistant genotypes and also finding the best stress tolerance indices, an experiment was carried out in the University of Maragheh, Iran during cropping season of 2014 by using a factorial design in the randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The experiment was done zinc deficient stress (non-Zn application; -Zn) and normal soil application (5 mg Zn/kg soil + foliar application with 0.44 g Zn/liter water at stem elongation and grain filling stages; +Zn) conditions. Results indicated that Zn conditions as well as, wheat genotypes differed significantly for all studied agro-morphological traits in both normal and Zn deficient stress conditions. Our findings indicated that Zn-deficient stress significantly decreased the spike length (SL), peduncle length (PedL), penultimate length (PenL), plant height (PH), spike weight (SW), peduncle weight (PedW), penultimate weight (PenW), biological yield (BY), grain yield (GY), harvest index (HI), number of grains per spike (NGS), number of fertile spikelet per spike (FS) and 1000 grains weight (TGW) by 14, 10.6, 10.4, 12.5, 25.3, 26.2, 27.9, 27.5, 29.4, 5.0, 25.5, 17.7 and 5.4%, respectively. Among durum wheat genotypes, &lsquo;G2&rsquo; had the highest and also &lsquo;G10&rsquo; and &lsquo;G19&rsquo; had the lowest SW, PedW, BY and FS, respectively; while the highest and the shortest GY and NGS was observed in &lsquo;G17&rsquo; (0.763 g/plant and 23.2 grain) and &lsquo;G10&rsquo; and &lsquo;G19&rsquo; (0.372 and 367 g/plant and 8.9 and 9.5 grain) genotypes, respectively. This indicating the presence of variability, which can be exploited through selection for further breeding programs. According to results of stress tolerance indices, &lsquo;G17&rsquo;, &lsquo;G16&rsquo; and &lsquo;G3&rsquo; genotypes have higher GY and STI index than other genotypes in two Zn conditions and identified as suitable genotypes for production in Zn deficient stress condition.

        The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of short-term and long-term progesterone treatments on the fertility rate of Ghezel breed ewes during breeding season. Forty ewes were distributed in a randomized block experimental design, where the treatments consisted of two protocols for estrus synchronization (short, 7 days and long, 12 days) with twenty animals each. The progesterone treatment consisted of a vaginal sponge containing 30 mg fluorogestone acetate (FGA) inserted into the vagina of the ewes for 7 or 12 days. Afterwards, on the 5th and 10th days of the protocols, 0.5 ml Clo Pg&reg; and 400 IU of PMSG was intramuscularly administered to all the ewes. Percentage of estrous, pregnancy and lambing rates were 80%, 75% and 56.25% in the short term treated group and 95%, 84.21% and 73.68% in the long term treated group respectively. The litter size did not differ between the short term and the long term treated groups (1.44 vs. 1.50). There were no significant differences in fertility responses between protocols (P&gt;0.05).The short-term progesterone treatment was effective to synchronize estrus in Ghezel breed ewes during breeding season. However, comparing the protocols, the long-term protocol presented better results of positive estrus percentage, pregnancy rate and lambing rate in Ghezel breed ewes تفاصيل المقالة

        This study aimed to investigate the difference in growth performance and carcass characteristics of lambs slaughtered at 56, 84, 112, and 140 days of age. Thirty-two male fat-tailed Afshari lambs, with an initial body live weight of 30.2 ± 3.6 (SD) kg and an average age of 90 ± 15 (SD) days, were used in this study. The lambs were equally and randomly distributed in 4 groups. The experiment was conducted in four peri-ods, including 56, 84, 112, and 140 days, and the nutrient requirements of lambs in each period were deter-mined using NRC 2007. At the end of each period, four lambs were randomly chosen and slaughtered, and longissimus thoracic muscle (LT) sampled. The results showed that by increasing the weight of slaughter, dry matter intake (DMI), feed conversion ratio (FCR) (i.e., kg DM/kg gain), and empty body weight in-creased, but empty digestive tract decreased linearly. The side carcass cuts (neck, shoulder, brisket-flank, rack-loin, and leg) were unaffected by slaughter weight. By increasing the slaughter weight, backfat thick-ness, LT area increased, and the percentage of dressing, tail fat, and internal fat also increased linearly. As the slaughter weight increased, the ratio of total unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids (UFA/SFA) decreased in LT fat, but that ratio increased in LT muscle linearly. تفاصيل المقالة
