Semen from six adult male Black Bengal goats (Capra hircus) was collected to compare the fresh and frozen-thawed semen quality and investigate its relationship with the fertility. Each collected samples was divided into two parts: One part of semen was used as fresh and another part was filled into 0.50 ml straws, sealed, cooled (5 ˚C) and equilibrated for freezing.In both cases, semen was dilu...

This research aims to study testis and epididymis of dry land goat (Capra hircus) on B-mode ultrasound imaging. Twelve adult local male goats were examined normal testes ultrasonic appearances. real time scanner with a 7.5 MHz, linear array transducer was used evaluate the echotexture testicular parenchyma, mediastinum epididymis. The parenchyma represented uniformly homogenous moderately echog...

A critical comparison of two commonly used markers of initial animal domestication, size reduction and demographic profiling, is presented. A metrical analysis of a large collection of modern wild and domestic goats (Capra hircus aegargus and C. h. hircus) from Iran and Iraq clearly demonstrates that sex is by far the most significant factor affecting size in goats. In all post-cranial bones ex...

BACKGROUND Domestic goats (Capra hircus) are a natural and experimental host of scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy, the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE) of sheep and cattle. Goats are also susceptible to experimental infection with the agents of TSEs of deer and elk (chronic wasting disease) and humans (Creutzfeldt Jakob disease). Distribution of PrPSc, the abnormal pri...

Korean native goats (Capra hircus coreanae) (KNG) and Hanwoo (Bos taurus are indigenous breeds inhabiting Korea. This study compared the in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics, dry matter (DM) degradation, ruminal microbial communities of steers consuming rice hay (RH) cotton fiber (CF). The pH, ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N), total volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production significantly differ (p ...
