The study was conducted at the Agricultural Research Centre, Wollongbar, in northern N.S.W. At 60 days post conception (PC), 168 unselected feral does were allocated to five treatment groups with equal numbers of twin and single bearing does (determined by real time scanning, Fowler and Wilkins 1982). Three groups were supplemented in individual pens at either 60 to 90, 90 to 120 or 120 to 150 ...

In many countries, goat farming is the important part from the economy point of the view; especially in the Mediterranean and Middle East region. Goat farming is well organized in France, Italy, Spain and Greece (Park and Haenlein, 2006). Industrialization of the goat milk is not well successed because of its poor and insufficient volume. From 1990, interest in the goat milk production is incre...

Background Hair is an ectodermal structure, and its formation is regulated by master genes important in embryology. Hair shaft consists of three major regions: the medulla, cortex and cuticle. Hair shaft abnormality will divide structural hair abnormalities into two broad categories - those associated with increased hair fragility and those not associated with increased hair fragility. We condu...

In the study, fertility parameters of Hair goats and growth performance kids raised under farmer conditions were investigated. The data birth weight 28,768 kids, body 27,541 aged d 90, reproductive 26,693 does used between 2013 2017 years. weights goat born in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, years 2.36, 2.46, 2.56, 2.61, 2.61 kg, whereas detected on 90 15.2, 12.7, 12.8, 13.1, 14.5 respectively. Year, s...

The expression of retinoid-acid-related orphan receptor α (RORα) was evaluated at the mRNA level using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and its expression localization was determined by in situ hybridization of adult Inner Mongolian cashmere goats at different times of the year. In situ hybridization demonstrated that RORαwas expressed in secondary hair follicles of the hair shaft...

background: one of the pollutant components that can be observed in many industrial wastewaters is formaldehyde. the biological treatment of the wastewater contaminated by formaldehyde is very difficult due to its antibacterial property. however the removal of formaldehyde using adsorption process is feasible but it may be expensive. the main purpose of this study is to examine the adsorption o...

Ghrelin O-acyl transferase (GOAT) is a recently identified enzyme responsible for the unique n-acyl modification of ghrelin, a multifunctional metabolic hormone. GOAT structure and activity appears to be conserved from fish to man. Since the acyl modification is critical for most of the biological actions of ghrelin, especially metabolic functions, GOAT emerged as a very important molecule of i...

AIM The study was undertaken to find out the physicochemical characteristics, selected processing-related parameters and activity of selected enzymes in Surti goat milk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Milk samples from Surti goats and buffalo milk samples were collected during the period from July 2013 to January 2014 at Reproductive Biology Research Unit, Anand Agricultural University (AAU), Anand. M...

In milk processing, special emphasis is directed to fostering the taste and healthy values of goat milk. Therapeutic properties of goat milk are very well known. Comparison of cow and goat milk at the level of chemical composition suggests significant differences in their physical and chemical characteristics. Smaller diameter of fat globules (natural homogeneity), high portion of essential ami...
