One experiment was conducted to determine whether the treatment with artificial long days and exogenous melatonin can induce reproductive activity during spring (seasonal anoestrus) in Mediterranean goats that are in daily contact with bucks and whether this treatment causes a variation in the reactivation of the reproductive activity in the normal breeding season. The experiment started on 4 N...

In confined management systems, well-nourished bucks rendered sexually active by exposure to long days are efficient in fertilizing out-of-season goats. However, underfeeding is common semi-extensive systems and may reduce the reproductive efficiency of bucks. The objective present study was determine whether nutritional supplementation improved sexual activity submitted their ability stimulate...

Due to the human population explosion, demand for food, especially meat, has also increased. Increasing mutton production, in this scenario, is one way mitigate emerging issue as it nourishes a large population. However, its production challenging due high feeding costs. This study was executed develop cost-effective feed goat by adding dried citrus pulp total mixed ration. Citrus used an energ...

This paper presents a general method for modeling and characterizing complex systems in terms of flows of information together with flows of conserved or quasi-conserved quantities such as energy or money. Using mathematical techniques borrowed from statistical mechanics and from physics of computation, a framework is constructed that allows general systems to be modeled in terms of how informa...

An experiment was carried out to investigate the hormonal effect of GA on sexual system and 3 reproductive performance of adult male rabbits. Twenty-male New Zealand white rabbits at 7-months old were randomly divided into equal 4 groups. Groups 2, 3 and 4 were injected subcutaneously (under nick skin) with 200, 400 and 800 μg GA /kg B.W./week for 6 weeks treated period, while group 1 was serve...

Fallow bucks (Dama dama) produce a postcopulatory vocalization (PCV), consisting of an increase in the short-term groaning rate during the first min after mating. In this article, we consider two main hypotheses to assess the possible function of the postcopulatory vocalization. First, the PCV could be directed at females, and used to advertise the current fertility status of the male. Second, ...

An application having been made at St. George's Hospital in the middle of February last, that a physician should visit the village of Wing for the purpose of investigating its sanitary condition, I undertook to go there, and devoted February 16th and the following day to the inquiry. The parish of Wing consisted at the last census of 1502 inhabitants, of whom one-third is scattered through four...

The Goat Registration System has been developed since 1991 and today 227 Angora herds are on the system, including 25 Swedish and 7 Norwegian herds. The Nordic Angora goat population consists of many small herds (a total of 4,277 Angoras). This is one of the reasons why we have developed a genetic indexation system over the past 2 years, enabling us to compare animals from different herds and t...
