The Asian cheetah is known as Iranian panther. A four years old female cheetah was killed in a road accident by a truck in Abbas Abad (Biarjamand) County around Shahrood City in Semnan Province, central part of Iran. Two days after the accident the carcass of animal was autopsied and only five cestodes were obtained from its intestine. In inspection of other organs no other helminth was observe...

in this study, production, reproduction, managerial, and economic parameters obtained from data recorded for lori-bakhtiari flock of sheep (500 heads of breeding ewe) stationed at the sheep's breeding station, were employed to determine the relative economic values of and breeding objectives for an annual cycle of production, in village system in this breed of sheep. economic value for a t...

effects of lamb and parents coefficient of inbreeding (ci) on wool weight were studied using 10,868 wool records belonging to 3,244 iran black lambs (1,633 males and 1,611 females) representing 96 rams and 995 ewes collected during 1983-2006 from animal breeding station of abbas abad. year and month of shearing, ci of lamb and dam, sex and birth type had significant affect on wool weight among ...

breeding biology of the great cormorants phalacrocorax carbo sinensis is assessed in thesouthern coasts of the caspian sea, iran during the years 2008-2010. about 84 nests located on 63 trees wereexamined. nests were built on large trees located in abbas abad marsh, gilan province. initially, eggs werefound on first week of april and egg laying continued until the last week of may. clutch size ...

Litter size is one of the most important economical traits in sheep breeding industry. In addition to minor genes, litter size is under the influence of major genes. Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP-15), a member of the transforming growth factor beta (TGF-ß) superfamily, which is specifically expressed in oocytes, plays a dramatic role in sheep prolificacy. Reported mutations in this gene ca...

The present study was performed to study the effect of inbreeding on the pre-weaning growth traits including the birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), average daily gain (ADG), Kleiber ratio (KR) and lamb survival from birth to weaning (SUR) in Baluchi, Iran-Black and Zandi sheep. Significant positive inbreeding trends were found only for Baluchi and Iran-Black breeds as 0.038 and 0.278, resp...

The aim of this study was to identify the deficiency of uridine monophosphate synthase (DUMPS) and the complex vertebral malformation (CVM) in Iranian Holstein bulls. A total of 144 blood samples were prepared of Holstein bulls in Abbas Abad Animal Breeding Center and Ferdowsi University of Mashhad's Dairy Farm in Khorasan state of Iran. Genomic PCR-RFLP protocol was performed to amplify the po...

This study was conducted to estimate the genetic parameters of litter size (LS) in Moghani sheep using threshold model via Bayesian approach. The data originated from the Jafar-Abad Station of Ardabil province, Iran, and included 9698 lactation records of 4977 ewes with lambings from 1995 until 2010. The pedigree file consisted of data on animals born from 1987 to 2010. The significance of fixe...
