the present study was carried out to determine the effects of supplementing chromium-methionine(cr-met) on performance and carcass traits in mahabadi goat kids. thirty-two male kids (averageinitial bw of 22 ± 2 kg, 4-5mo) were used in a completely randomized design of four treatments vis.:1) control (with no cr suppl.), 2) 500ug cr suppl., 3) 1000ug cr suppl.and 4) 1500ug cr suppl.as cr-met/ani...

The prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection among lambs and goat kids in Serbia was examined. The animals were grouped according to age, i.e., up to 30 days and from 31 to 90 days. The infection was diagnosed using three coprological procedures. Sheather’s sugar flotation was employed to determine the concentration of oocysts. Modified Ziehl-Neelsen technique and modified Kinyoun technique were...

Kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) are a promising technology for low-noise, highly-multiplexible mmand submm-wave detection. KIDs have a number of advantages over other detector technologies, which make them an appealing option in the cosmic microwave background B-mode anisotropy search, including passive frequency domain multiplexing and relatively simple fabrication, but have suffered from ...

This paper reports on a Digital Government pilot project, MapStats for Kids – a sub-project within the Quality Graphics for Federal Statistical Summaries (dgQG) project. MapStats for Kids will contribute toward a long-term goal of providing web-based support for statistical, graphic/cartographic, and domain literacy through online learning activities that are fun for young web-site visitors to ...

this study compared the use of five different models to describe the growth from birth to 20 weeks of age of kids from both genders of nondescript goats. fifty nine (59) nondescript kids were weighed weekly at the university of maiduguri livestock teaching and research farm, nigeria and the live weights were modeled. biologically relevant variables were estimated for each kid from the logistic,...

A study was conducted to evaluate the effects of energy and protein levels of maternal diets on growth, some blood parameters, health, and performance of baby goat kids at first month of life. On 95 d after successful mating, 28 synchronized singleton pregnant Sistani goats were randomly allocated to four treatments including 1) low protein and low energy (LPLE), 2) high protein and low energy ...

The presence of DNA fragments in blood and milk from goats fed conventional (control) or Roundup Ready® soybean meal solvent extracted (s.e.; treated) was investigated by using a polymerase chain reaction approach. The same investigation was carried out on blood, skeletal muscle and organs from kids of both groups fed only dams' milk until weaning. Moreover, the possible effects on cell metabol...

This study was conducted to identify the risk factors that are associated with neonatal mortality in lambs and kids in Jordan. The bacterial causes of mortality in lambs and kids were investigated. One hundred sheep and goat flocks were selected randomly from different areas of North Jordan at the beginning of the lambing season. The flocks were visited every other week to collect information a...
