Parameterization of the Effect of Bench Terraces on Runoff and Sediment Yield by Swat Modelling in a Small Semi-Arid Watershed in Northern Tunisia
In Tunisia, Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) interventions are among the most practicable strategies to prevent and mitigate rainwater losses through surface runoff and consequential erosion of fertile soils. In this ...
Feed supplementation improves estrus response and increases fertility of sheep induced to breed out of season
To test the efficacy on reproductive performance of nutritional supplementation in an out-of-season mating system, 66 adult prolific Barbarine ewes were selected and induced to breed using “ram effect”. The ewes were ...
Supplementing Barbarine ewes every two days around mating does not hamper the reproductive performance in comparison to daily supplementation
Seventy Barbarine ewes were divided into two homogeneous groups and
received 1200 g/head/day of hay, supplemented with 400 g/head/day of concentrate, either daily (group C) or every two days (group A). The supplementation ...
Antifungal activity of essential oil from Tunisian myrtle (Myrtus communis L.)
The objective of this study was to investigate the antifungal essential oil activity. The InVitro antifungal activity of myrtle essential oil against seven fungi allowed us to specify the corresponding minimum inhibition ...
Protective effects of three Artemisia essential oils against Callosobruchus maculatus and Bruchus rufimanus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and the extended side-effects on their natural enemies
This research aimed to find plant essential oils with a strong fumigant-specific toxicity effects against
Callosobruchus maculatus and Bruchus rufimanus, but which have lower side effects on their parasitoids
wasps Dinarmus ...
FecXBar a Novel BMP15 mutation responsible for prolificacy and female sterility in Tunisian Barbarine Sheep
Background: Naturally occurring mutations in growth and differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) or bone morphogenetic
protein 15 (BMP15) genes are associated with increased ovulation rate (OR) and litter size (LS) but also ...
