Food Value of Soft Dates Cultivated in Tunisian Coastal Oases
Maintaining bio-diversity in Tunisian oases has become a subject of first interest in date palm cultivation in Tunisia.
Coastal oases still retain a very rich and varied plant biodiversity in comparison with the continental ...
First molecular isolation of Mycoplasma ovis from small ruminants in North Africa
Eperythrozoonosis is a small ruminant disease caused by the bacterium Mycoplasma ovis (formerly known as Eperythrozoon ovis). Whilst acute infection in sheep may result in an anaemia and ill thrift syndrome, most animals ...
Effect of stocking rate on biomass variation and lamb performances for barley stubble in Tunisian semi arid region and under conservation agriculture conditions
The integration of livestock in the practices of conservation agriculture (CA) was assessed in Tunisian
semi-arid conditions. Forty five Barbarine lambs (aged 220 ± 10 days, average body weight 20 ± 2.5 kg)
were used in a ...
Economic efficiency measures and its determinants for irrigated wheat farms in Tunisia: a DEA approach
The objectives of this study are twofold. Firstly, we aim to measure the technical,
scale and economic efficiencies for a sample of 170 cereal farmers in Chebika region
(Central Tunisia) using Data Envelopment Analysis ...
Strategic Feeding Alternating a 2-months’ Feeding Restriction and a Short Boost of the Feeding Level Increases Conception Rate in Sheep
This study aimed to investigate if feeding patterns prior to and after artificial insemination (AI) affect the reproductive performances of ewes. Two breeds were used; the Barbarine (n = 133) and Queue Fine de l’Ouest (QFO; ...
Unveiling soil degradation and desertification risk in the Mediterranean basin: a data mining analysis of the relationships between biophysical and socioeconomic factors in agro-forest landscapes
Soil degradation and desertification processes in the Mediterranean basin reflect the
interplay between environmental and socioeconomic drivers. An approach to evaluate
comparatively the multiple relationships between ...
Melatonin administration enhances the reproductive capacity of young rams under a southern Mediterranean environment
This study tested the effect of melatonin treatment, initiated in late February on reproductive traits of young rams. A total
of 14 young Barbarine rams were used. Seven animals were treated with three melatonin subcutaneous ...
Morphological characterization of some Tunisian bread wheat (TriticumaestivumL.) accessions
Seventy four Tunisian bread wheat accessions were characterized using seven morphological traits: spike color, spike shape, spike density, beak shape, beak length, glume shoulder shape, grain color and grain size. Accessions ...
Selection of Tolerant Lines to Salinity Derived from Durum Wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) in Vitro Culture
The genetic variability is considered as the major principle of plant breeding for durum wheat.
This variability can be induced in vitro by selection pressure exerted by stress factors such as salinity in order to regenerate ...
