Genetic variations in the four casein genes CSN1S1 , CSN2 CSN1S2 and CSN3 have obtained substantial attention since they affect milk protein yield, composition, cheese processing properties, digestibility as well tolerance human nutrition. Furthermore, variants are used for breed characterization, biodiversity, phylogenetic studies. The current study aimed at identification of five domestic goa...

berari goats are medium sized animals reared mainly for meat purpose. they are predominantly brown and blackish brown in colour with glossy hair and found in vidarbha region of maharashtra state. berari is not a recognized breed but a well established local population of goat which is yet to be fully explored for its phenotypic and genetic aspects. within population genetic variation was examin...

The present study aimed to compare the growth and development of Hair Damascus kids reared under extensive conditions. body weights goats were significantly higher than that during 360 days period (P < 0.05; P<0.001). Body weight was influenced by birth type only at on 360th day period, single-birth had values twin-born 0.05). Exceptfor 120th born in dam age group III other groups P 0.01; 0.001...

The somatostatin protein plays a crucial role in the regulation of multiple biological functions, such as growth, fat deposition, and nutrient absorption in vertebrates. Polymorphisms in the somatostatin gene have been associated with growth traits in livestock species, including cattle and goat. In this study, we conducted complete molecular characterization of the somatostatin gene in Bubalus...

AIM Immune response to a lyophilized peste-des-petits-ruminants virus (PPRV) vaccine was evaluated in three different breeds of goats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three breeds of goats consisting six number of animals in three groups, i.e., Group A (local Assam hill goat), Group B (cross-bred), and Group C (Beetal goats) were randomly selected for evaluating the immune response to a lyophilized PPR...

Using a novel and fast genotyping method called Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP™), we carried out a pilot study on 48 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) belonging to 40 genes in French Alpine (n = 24) and Saanen (n = 25) goats reared in Romania. Furthermore, the associations of the 13 polymorphic genetic variants with milk production and composition were investigated. Thirty-five SNPs...

Aim: The present study was undertaken in Salem Black goat population for genetic analysis at molecular level to exploit the breed for planning sustainable improvement, conservation and utilization, which subsequently can improve the livelihood of its stakeholders. Materials and Methods: Genomic DNA was isolated from blood samples of 50 unrelated Salem Black goats with typical phenotypic feature...

Meat-type (Boer x Spanish and Spanish) goats from two feeding regimens (feedlot and range) were slaughtered and live and carcass weights were obtained. At 24 h after death, various yield and quality measurements were collected. One side from each carcass was fabricated into major wholesale cuts for dissection into major carcass components. Feedlot goats had heavier (P<.05) live and carcass weig...

Cheese manufacture is one of the classical examples of food preservation, dating from 6000 – 7000 BC. Cheese exploits two classical principles of food preservation, i.e. lactic acid fermentation and reduction of water activity through removal of water and addition of NaCl. Establishment of low redox potential and secretion of antibiotics by starter microorganisms contributes to the storage stab...

the purpose of the given work was to study the dairy efficiency of the delivered, local and crossbreed goats in three different generations (f1, f2 and f3), derived from their crosses, as well as the biochemical composition of milk and some bloodplasma hormones, participating in the process of lactopoez. for the biochemical tests of milk we have selected casein and serumproteins, iron in lactof...
