The present study was undertaken to assess the relative efficiency of three different collection techniques of ovarian biometrics and oocytes grading percent of oocytes in local goats of Andhra Pradesh The mean oocyte recovery from right and left ovary was 1.9 ± 0.28 and 0.8 ± 0.18 in aspiration technique, 2.15 ± 0.31 and 2.9 ± 0.46 in dissection technique and 6.55 ± 0.57 and 4.51 ± 0.46 in sli...

Heritabilities and genetic and phenotypic correlations were estimated from feedlot and carcass data collected from Brahman calves (n = 504) in central Florida from 1996 to 2000. Data were analyzed using animal models in MTDFREML. Models included contemporary group (n = 44; groups of calves of the same sex, fed in the same pen, slaughtered on the same day) as a fixed effect and calf age in days ...

In order to study the effect of different levels of the manure and foliar application of Zn and Mn fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative yield of soybeans (var. Williams), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. Treatments involved three levels of fertilizer: manure (zero as control; six and 12 t/ha), two lev...

Physiological traits contributing to high yield in groundnut might reveal the underlying mechanism from which improved strategies could be developed enhance effectiveness and progress breeding for component of groundnut. The study aim determine some physiological characters such as chlorophyll content, canopy temperature, leaf area index (LAI) photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) related yield...

The objective of this study was to analyze the correlation between Holstein body conformation traits and milk production traits in the Shanghai region. In total, 871 Holstein cows were randomly chosen from 28 dairy farms in Shanghai at second stage of lactation as the object of our study. Five milk production traits, including 305-d milk yield, butter fat percentage, milk protein percentage, pe...

If kenaf lines differ in woody core fiber length and cellulose content, it may be possible to increase the pulp quality of kenaf through breeding. Forty-eight cultiYars, breeding lines, and accessions of cultivated kenaf (HibisCIlS camzabinus L.) were analyzed for diHerences in woody core fiber length and monethanolamine (MEA) cellulose, yield, and plant size. All commercial culth-ars of kenaf ...
