        Black Bengal goat is the heritage and one of the potential genetic resources of Bangladesh. Genetic and phenotypic parameters for semen characteristics and their relationships with scrotal circumference in Black Bengal bucks were estimated in this experiment. Genetic parameters were estimated by residual maximum likelihood procedure, fitting an animal model ignoring maternal genetic or permanent environmental effects. The least-squares means of semen volume (mL/ejaculate), sperm concentration (109cells/mL), mass motility (%), sperm livability (%) and normal spermatozoa (%) were 0.56, 2.55, 79.7, 86.8 and 90.5, respectively. Season of collection and scrotal circumference significantly affected all semen characteristics studied. Age of bucks affected all the semen characteristics, except mass motility. Body weight had a significant effect on semen volume and mass motility. Heritability estimates were moderate for sperm concentration (0.38) and low for semen volume, mass motility, sperm livability and normal spermatozoa (0.05 to 0.18). Phenotypic correlations ranged from slightly negative (-0.001) to moderately positive (0.42) and the genetic correlations ranged from moderately negative (-0.37) to strongly positive (0.99). Sperm concentration was the only semen trait of Black Bengal goat where reasonable genetic progress may be possible through selection. Selection for increased scrotal circumference should have favorable correlated response in semen characteristics. پرونده مقاله

        The objective of this study was to evaluate genetic and phenotypic parameters for some reproductive traits of Black Bengal does. Genetic parameters were estimated by Residual Maximum Likelihood procedure, fitting an animal model ignoring maternal genetic or permanent environmental effects. The least-squares means of litter size at birth (LSB), litter size at weaning (LSW), litter weight at birth (LWB), litter weight at weaning (LWW) and gestation length were 1.50, 1.29, 1.58 kg, 6.37 kg and 144.71 days, respectively. The effect of parity of doe was significant for LSB, LSW, LWB and LWW. In general, LSB, LSW, LWB and LWW increased with the progress of parity. The effect of season of kidding was significant for LSW, LWB and LWW. Estimates of heritability for LSB, LSW, LWB, LWW and gestation length were 0.08, 0.13, 0.10, 0.00 and 0.18, respectively. The low estimates of heritability obtained for reproductive traits indicated that selection based on the doe’s own performance may result in slow genetic improvement. پرونده مقاله

        Black Bengal goat is the heritage and one of the potential genetic resources of Bangladesh. Least-squares means for body weights at birth, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age were 1.09, 5.12, 8.02, 10.92 and 14.47 kg, respectively. Sex of the kid has significant (P<0.05) ef چکیده کامل
        Black Bengal goat is the heritage and one of the potential genetic resources of Bangladesh. Least-squares means for body weights at birth, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age were 1.09, 5.12, 8.02, 10.92 and 14.47 kg, respectively. Sex of the kid has significant (P<0.05) effect on body weights at 6, 9 and 12 months of age. Type of birth and parity of the dam has significant (P<0.01) effect on birth weight only, whereas season of birth affected (P<0.05) all the body weight traits. Heritability estimates for body weights at birth, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of age were 0.45, 0.47, 0.45, 0.49 and 0.47, respectively. Genetic correlations between body weight traits ranged from 0.34 to 0.83, whereas phenotypic correlations ranged from 0.34 to 0.90. The high heritability estimates obtained for body weights indicated that mass selection would generate substantial selection responses at all stages of growth. پرونده مقاله
