The objective of this study was to identify morphological measurements that best distinguish Moroccan Barcha and Atlas goat breeds. Ten measurements (body weight - BW, body length - BL, heart girth - HG, withers height - WH, rump height - WH, back length - BAL, neck length - NL, head length - HL, ear length - EL, and ear width - EW) of 876 adult animals of both sexes (547 Barcha and 329 Atlas) ...

This study was focused on the effect of wattle trait on body sizes and scrotal dimensions of traditionally reared WAD bucks in the derived savannah environment. Data were collected from 153 bucks ranging from 4 months to 2 years of age and this included, scrotal length, scrotal circumference, body weight, height at withers, body length and chest girth. Parameters for wattle traits included, wat...

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme activities in muscle was significantly related with burst swimming speed and endurance swimming capacity in a variety of fish. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with LDH were analyzed based on F1 family crossed by Hebao and Heilongjiang carp. A total of seven QTLs (qLDH1, qLDH6, qLDH7, qLDH21 qLDH22, qLDH45a and qLDH45b) were detected on six linkage gr...
