The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of trematodes and cestodoses in slaughtered sheep from the region of Sarajevo. The study was carried out on a total of 699 indigenous sheep of pramenka breed, of various sex and age. After parasitological section, visual examination and palpation of the liver, the prevalence rate of Fasciola hepatica, Dicrocoelium dendriticum, hydatid cysts ...

In the present study, modified indigenous ELISA kit (kit 1) was compared with indigenous ELISA kit (kit 2) and commercial ELISA kit (kit 3) for its sensitivity and specificity with respect to faecal culture for diagnosis of Johne's disease in goats and sheep under natural conditions. Of the 64 positive animals, serum of 42.1, 48.4 and 18.7% animals yielded positive infection in kit 1, 2 and 3, ...

This study analyzed the genetic diversity and structure of two Bulgarian indigenous sheep (Ovis aries) breeds – Kotel Teteven, each presented by 4 flocks, using 15 microsatellite markers. A tot...

AIM This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of summer and winter season on physiological, biochemical, hormonal, and antioxidant parameters in Indigenous sheep. MATERIALS AND METHODS The research was carried out during summer and winter season. 8 adult apparently healthy female sheep (aged 2-4 years) of similar physiological status were selected. Daily ambient temperature and relative...

The seasonal occurrence of coccidial oocysts was determined in a mixed herd of indigenous goats and cross-bred sheep at Nebo, Northern Province, South Africa. The herd of c. 30 sheep was housed with c. 70 goats in 1 camp. Over a period of 14 months, 114 faecal specimens were collected from sheep and 369 from goats and the number of oocysts per gram of faeces (OPG) determined. The mean OPG value...

With climate change bound to affect food and feed production, emphasis will shift resilient adapted indigenous livestock sustain animal production. However, comprise several varieties, strains ecotypes whose genomes are poorly characterized. Here, we investigated genomic variation in an African thin-tailed Desert Sheep sampled Sudan, using 600K genotype data generated from 92 individuals repres...

The purpose of this study was to identify and describe relationships between selected predictors and tobacco use behavior in Yemeni-American adolescents (14–18 years of age) by examining the personal and environmental factors of parental and peer tobacco use and the psychological factors of self-esteem and experimentation of tobacco use. A mid-range theory on Yemeni American Adolescents-Tobacco...

A comparison of F0 alignment values was carried out for three Arabic dialects (Moroccan Arabic, Kuwaiti Arabic and Yemeni Arabic) using five speakers from each dialect. Clear differences found in alignment enable separation of Moroccan Arabic from the two other dialects: a) values of the F0 valley differed significantly, with Moroccan Arabic showing a later synchronisation than Kuwaiti Arabic a...

Sheep breeds show a broad spectrum of different horn phenotypes. In most modern production breeds, sheep are polled (absence of horns), whereas horns occur mainly in indigenous breeds. Previous studies mapped the responsible locus to the region of the RXFP2 gene on ovine chromosome 10. A 4-kb region of the 30-end of RXFP2 was amplified in horned and polled animals from seven Swiss sheep breeds....
