Organic breeding in Sarda ewes: utilization of the ram effect in an artificial insemination program
The current study assesses the ram effect as an alternative to conventional hormonal treatment for estrus synchronization prior to artificial insemination. Two groups of 50 anoestrus Sarda ewes were induced to ovulate with ...
The Relevance of Rest Periods in Rangeland Management for Plant Cover and Species Composition in Tataouine, Tunisia, Spring
In southern Tunisia, rangelands are overexploited because the animal needs highly exceed plant production. For most of the skeletal desert soil, the overall vegetation covering oscillates between 1 and 10%; the perennial ...
Abergelle goat landform similarity in Ethiopia
This map was prepared for Livestock and fish CRP project, for Mapping breeds to appropriate production environments: a case study of Ethiopian indigenous sheep and goats. Abergelle goat landform similarity was assessed by ...
Detection of toxoplasma gondii infection in semen of rams used for natural mating in commercial sheep farms in Tunisia
Toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection, disrupts sexual functions resulting in decline in reproductive and economic performance in sheep. Lacking discernible symptoms, toxoplasmosis is difficult to detect and diagnose in ...

Estimation of shrub canopy cover by digital vegetation charting technique (DVCT), Syria
The shrub fodder component should be measured to avoid underestimation of the carrying capacity of rangelands. In this study, we present a fast, reliable and non-destructive method to estimate canopy vegetation cover to ...
