The animal had mated with 32 females during that period; all had conceived. The sex ratio of his offspring was one male to 31 females.

In all mammalian species the embryo starts life as a spherical clump of cells enclosed within a mucopolysaccharide coat, the zona pellucida, which is transparent, tough and elastic. The transformation from this stage (called a morula) to a blastocyst usually occurs soon after the embryo has reached the uterine lumen from...

متن کاملInfluence of prepartum body condition score change on reproduction in multiparous beef cows calving in moderate body condition.
Multiparous, spring-calving beef cows (n = 250) were used to determine whether large changes in body energy reserves during mid- to late gestation influenced subsequent reproductive performance of cows calving in moderate body condition. In three states, cows were blocked by BW and body condition score (BCS; 1 = emaciated to 9 = obese) then allotted to receive either a high or low plane of nutr...
متن کاملQuantitative genetic analysis of Dromedary camel (Camelus dromedaris) under pastoral management in central desert of Iran
A Camel Research Station was established in 1990 at the central desert land of Iran named Kavir-e-loot, to evaluate productivity performance of one humped camel. The data consisted of birth weights (BW), three (W3), six (W6), nine (W9) months and yearling (W12) body weight of animals and the pedigree was registered during a period of 14 years since 1991 to 2004. The body weight traits of birth,...
