the objective of this study was to evaluate genetic and phenotypic parameters for some reproductive traits of black bengal does. genetic parameters were estimated by residual maximum likelihood procedure, fitting an animal model ignoring maternal genetic or permanent environmental effects. the least-squares means of litter size at birth (lsb), litter size at weaning (lsw), litter weight at birt...

To investigate the effects of certain factors on the rate of retained placenta, 2844 calving records from 1288 Holstein cows in a herd were used. These cows calved during year period of 2001 to 2007. A generalized statistical linear model was applied to analyze the data. Logistic regression model was applied as the statistical model. In the model, fixed effects of year, season (warm or cold) an...

cryptosporidium is an ubiqutous enteric protozoan parasite that infects a wide range of vertebrate hosts. in humans and many other mammals, cryptosporidium is recognized as a significant pathogen primarily as a cause of acute, severe diarrheal illness. at this investigation animal samples (stool) were collected from 708 heads of lambs (in the beginning of the birth to three months) and 713 head...
