This paper reviews changes to lifecycle temporality in Southwest Asian plant and animal domestication, exploring their relationship to long-term processes associated with ancient and contemporary globalization. We survey changes under domestication to the timing of seed dispersal, germination,...

Background: Cellular tolerance to heat stress is mediated by heat shock proteins (HSPs). The HSPs act as molecular chaperones and are transcribed in response to stress. Among different families of these proteins, HSP70 is considered to be related to the development of temperature tolerance....

Data generated by 176 cows in the days 4-80 postpartum were collected between March 2019 - July 2020, animals come from four different farms by way of maintenance, feeding and breed. According to the clinical data, the cows were divided into two groups: group 1 - cows with pathology of the...

Ovarian dysfunction, repeated breeding and postpartum endometritis are the most common reproductive disorders in cattle breeding because they lead to a large economic loss for the farmer due to more inseminations, an increase in in calving interval, an increase dry periods length, increase in...

Farm profitability is heavily influenced by reproductive capacity. Fertility, prolificacy, and fecundity are all indicators of reproductive efficiency. In sheep with high economic value, prolificacy is a key reproduction parameter (Notter, 2008). Because most sheep breeds are monotocous, similar to ...

The purpose of this study was to review the existing literature on some important morphological traits associated with reproductive and productive performance in Bangladeshi indigenous and exotic cross sheep. Sheep as small ruminants are essential parts of the crop-livestock of the mixed...

Schistosomus reflexus (SR) is a fatal congenital anomaly observed in animal species. The objective of this paper was to report a case of SR in a Holstein cow. The conceptus presented dorsiflexion of the spine, with exposure of the abdominal and/or thoracic viscera, ankylosis of the limbs and...

Goat is a domesticated small ruminant, primarily reared by small farmers for meat production, across the country. Productivity of goat is often low, which could be related to several genetic and non-genetic factors. A field study was carried out to characterize, evaluate and estimate the effect of...

Low pregnancy rate is an important issue in small ruminants. Superovulation protocols would serve as the possible techniques to increase the pregnancy rate in small ruminants due to the use of synthetic hormones. The present study aimed to assess the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)...
