Technical guideline for reproductive biotechnologies of sheep and goat in Ethiopia
Reproductive biotechnology in animal production is widely used to increase production, reproductive efficiency and rates of
genetic improvement (Madan, 2005). According to NRC (2003), animal production biotechnology is ...
Phenotypic characterization of Tunisian sheep breeds for resistance to abomasal parasites
The aim of this work is to study the genetic resistance of the Barbarine sheep to GIN infestation. This is a preliminary paper about the phenotypic measurements that were collected and compiled in a single phenotype database. ...
Use of Conservation Agriculture in Crop-Livestock Systems (CLCA) in the Drylands for Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity in NEN And LAC Countries: Completion Report – Appendix
The supplementary tables appendix of the completion report of the project titled “USE OF CONSERVATION AGRICULTURE IN CROP-LIVESTOCK SYSTEMS IN THE DRYLANDS For Enhanced Water Use Efficiency, Soil Fertility and Productivity ...
Templates for certification of rams and bucks selected in Community- Based Breeding Programs (CBBP)
This document compiles the examination templates and the certificates used for rams' and bucks' certification in the framework of the community-based breeding programs. The templates are exemplified for the sheep sites of ...
Genome variation in tick infestation and cryptic divergence in Tunisian indigenous sheep
Background: Ticks are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites considered second to mosquitos as vectors and reservoirs of multiple pathogens of global concern. Individual variation in tick infestation has been reported in ...
Field guideline for low-cost artificial insemination of sheep and goats in Ethiopia
These guidelines are elaborated in the specific context in which CBBP’s are run in Ethiopia. Following an overview of the anatomical and physiological aspects of reproduction in sheep and goats that are important to AI, ...
Phenology and phylogeny of Hyalomma spp. ticks infesting one-humped camels (Camelus dromedarius) in the Tunisian Saharan bioclimatic zone
In this study, we report the results of a survey of Hyalomma ticks infesting one-humped camels in southern Tunisia. Examinations were conducted every second or third month on 406 camels in Tataouine district from April ...
Review of the reproductive performances of sheep breeds in Ethiopia: Documenting existing knowledge and identifying priority research needs
There are numerous benefits of reviewing the current state of knowledge related to the reproductive
performances and characteristics of Ethiopian sheep. First, compilation of this information serves as a
resource material ...
Genome-wide insights on gastrointestinal nematode resistance in autochthonous Tunisian sheep
Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections have negative impacts on animal health, welfare and production. Information from molecular studies can highlight the underlying genetic mechanisms that enhance host resistance to ...
GnRH and prostaglandin-based synchronization protocols as alternatives to progestogen-based treatments in sheep
The study investigated, for cycling sheep, synchronizing protocols simultaneously to the standard “P” protocol using progestogens priming with intravaginal devices and gonadotropin. In November 2014, 90 adult Menz ewes ...
