The aim of the present experiment was to determine whether age, live weight, or a combination of both, was the most important factor influencing fat 5 alpha-androstenone levels in male pigs. Three groups of 50 boars each were fed either on a liberal plane of nutrition (CTRL group) or were restricted (SW and SA groups). Fat 5 alpha-androstenone was measured three times in each pig (on biopsies a...

the aim of the peresent study was to find the optimum weaning time to shift pikeperch larvae feeding from live food to the artificial feed. in this experiment, pikeperch larvae were fed with seived pond zooplankton (mainly rotifers) and artemia nauplii from the first feeding day to day 16 of post-hatching. then three weaning times were used on day 16 (w16), day 22 (w22), and day 28 (w28) of pos...

Alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate is a signature of cell division in metazoan cells, yet the mechanisms controlling this process remain ambiguous. Here we use a combination of quantitative live-cell imaging and reconstituted dynamic microtubule assays to investigate the molecular control of mitotic centromere movements. We establish that Kif18A (kinesin-8) attenuates centromere mo...

ABSTRACT: The present study aimed to obtain, through statistical methods, the independent variables that influence economic and productive results of Brazilian beef cattle. Economic information was collected from 106 farms in Brazil. Data collection performed by Instituto de Métricas Agropecuárias (Inttegra). variable selection method used stepwise regression followed polynomial analyses. cattl...

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

20 one-month-old sanjabi suckling lambs (ten males and ten females with initial liveweight of 13.4 ± 1.3 and 11.6 ± 0.9, respectively) were used to assess the effect of ad libitum creep mixture on dry mater intake, live weight gain and carcass characteristics. the lambs were blocked within sex according to their live weight and randomly allocated to one of two treatments, control (free suckling...

Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is an ectodermal dysplasia caused by dominant mutations of connexin26 (Cx26). Loss of Cx26 function causes nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness, without consequence in the epidermis. Functional analyses have revealed that a majority of KID-causing mutations confer a novel expansion of hemichannel activity, mediated by connexin channels in a nonjunctio...

effect of two fattening systems were studied on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of using of 66 fars native male kids in different ages. six kids were slaughtered at the first day of experiment and sixty kids were divided into two groups. the first group were kept in feedlot in individual pens and the second group grazed on rangeland, and after 3 months, were kept in feedlot in i...
