Th e present study was planned to generate the G-band nomenclature of the commonly occurring Lohi sheep breed in the Punjab province of Pakistan. Whole blood samples were collected through jugular venepuncture in heparinised vacutainers. Th e metaphase slides were prepared using standard protocols. Th e results from microscopic screening of 50 good quality metaphase cells from each animal were ...

The objective of present study was to investigate renal clearance, urinary excretion and underlying excretory mechanism of marbofloxacin in Lohi sheep. For this purpose, marbofloxacin was administered intravenously (IV) as single bolus dose (2.5 mg/kg body weight) to eight healthy sheep of Lohi breed. After start of experiment, blood and urine samples were drawn at predetermined time intervals ...

BACKGROUND Babesia ovis and Theileria ovis are among the important and main etiological agents causing ovine babesiosis and ovine theileriosis, causing severe economic losses among sheep and goats. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and molecular diagnosis of B. ovis and T. ovis in Lohi sheep at Livestock Experiment Station Bahadurnagar, Okara, Pakistan. METHODS The ...

The present study was carried out at Governmental Research Centre for Conservation of Sahiwal Cattle (RCCSC) Jahangirabad, District Khanewal during 2007, to investigate the overall prevalence of Ostertagia spp., in sheep. Out of 300 hosts 231 were infected with Ostertagia spp. The overall prevalence of Ostertagia spp. was (77%). The males showed significantly (P<0.05) higher prevalence (81.4%) ...

Ruminants are major contributorsof methane (CH4) production. Serious global efforts are required to reduce CH4 produced through their digestive tract, which isgenerally termed as enteric methane production (e.m.p). Feeding diets containing nitrates and/or sulphates could be used to reduce e.m.p. The study was conducted to evaluate the influence of varying levels of sodium nitrate (SN) with or w...

The objective of this paper was to evaluate oxidative stress during different pregnancy stages in Lohi sheep reared Libya. Investigations were carried out on between 1.5 and 5 years age. A total 40 sub-grouped into various along with non-pregnant controls as follows: (n=10), early mid late (n=10). Blood samples collected from pregnant preserved at -20°C further used for evaluating the concentra...
