The World Health Organization (WHO) has cautioned on specific respiratory symptoms for suspecting an individual of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Meanwhile, many suspects are reporting dysfunctions smell and taste. This study aimed to investigate the percentage positive COVID-19 who had associated loss sensation as detected by psychophysical testing. Eight hundred thirty two were enrolled. At time sampling testing status, olfactory dysfunction (OD) gustatory (GD) tested using odorants...
The data of 35 years from 1980 to 2014 were analyzed study the effect genetic and non-genetic factors viz. period calving, season calving as fixed sire random on reproduction trait (age at first calving) Kankrej cattle maintained Livestock Research Station, S.D. Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat. least square mean age in cows was found be 1376.0 9 ± 14.55 days. Heritability estimates 0.44 0.18 for First calving. Genetic correlation (AFC) with lactation 300 milk yield...
The genetic improvement programme of Kankrej cattle under AICRP on Cattle is implemented in their home tract for conservation and propagation. involvement farmer’s animal the has helped to create awareness among breeders importance this valuable breed. production frozen semen doses genetically superior young bulls providing AI facility at doorstep farmer motivated increased conception rate a large extent. average age first calving (AFC), lactation 305 days milk yield, length peak yield were...
Superovulation is a reproductive technology used in the dairy industry to enhance rate of superior female animals. The experiment was conducted investigate superovulatory response and embryo recovery twelve donor Kankrej cattle which were divided two groups (A B) synchronized with single dose (625 μg, im) cloprostenol. induced pFSH (25 mg) tapering started on 8th day estrus for 4 days. Group-A cows (n=6) given 10 µg GnRH While, Group-B did not receive at time breeding. Estrus following...
A study was conducted to assess production performance, feed efficiency and their correlation in lactating Kankrej cows at organized farm. The variables such as average dry matter intake, milk yield, composition were evaluated 49 over a period of 30 days. mean intake 9.71±0.08 kg/d. yield energy corrected 12.45±0.35 kg/d 14.27±0.47 kg/d, respectively. Feed 1.48±0.05 cows, it significantly affected by milk. highly correlated with efficiency. Pearson’s square coefficient 0.96 between
Abstract Kisspeptins, a family of neuropeptide encoded by the Kiss1 gene, have emerged as crucial regulator fertility and reproduction regulating hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis. The present study was aimed to identify associate SNPs in KISS1 gene with reproductive traits cattle Indian origin. DNA samples collected from 300 individual cows three dairy breeds (Gir, Kankrej Frieswal) were used study. identified PCR‐RFLP sequence analysis using two sets primer pairs. A total 5 targeted...
Aim:The aim was to estimate genetic factors affecting the first lactation milk production traits in Kankrej cattle of North Gujarat. Materials and Methods:The 475 records cows that were maintained at Livestock Research Station, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat, over a period 35 years from 1980 2014 studied.The least squares maximum likelihood program used parameters traits.Heritability estimated through paternal half-sib analysis adjusted data....
A study was conducted to predict the expected breeding values of 8 Kankrej bulls inducted under All India Coordinated Research Project on Cattle. total 127 first lactation 305-days records daughters born during period between 2013 and 2017 were analyzed by Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) method using Model VIII LSMLMW software. The BLUP model included Herd-year-season effect as fixed factor sires random factor. overall average value (EBV) 2004.314 kg. ranged - 151.321 +189.733 results...
The present study was conducted at Livestock Research Station, to compare performance of Kankrej cattle farm and field condition, suggest strategies for the overall improvement this prestigious breed. average lactation yield (lit.), standard fat percentage, age first calving interval in farmers herd 1669.96±12.24 (1523), 1751.23±12.94 (617), 4.13±0.03 1464.08±18.41 (260) 549.93±8.61 (387), respectively during initial phage progeny testing program initiated by station migratory 2.64 litre...
The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of non-genetic factors, viz., service period (SP), dry (DP) and gestation (GP) on various milk production traits in Kankrej cattle. 1235 lactation records (2nd-7th) 475 cows, progeny 75 bulls that were maintained at University Livestock Research Station, Sardarkrushinagar (Gujarat), calved during 1980-2014, studied. effects (111.64 ± 52.55 days) (143.17±28.78 total yield (2089.45±582.38 kg),305 days (2045.66±531.92 kg) length...
The genetic evaluation of Kankrej bulls was done by using three different methods viz., BLUP, Wombat sire, andWombat animal models. First lactation 305-days yields 348 daughters born to 9 sires and calved from 2016 2020 were used for the analyses. For BLUP analysis, season year calving considered as fixed effects, andsire random effect. overall average estimate 2414.40 kg obtained in method while 2430.29 both sire results revealed that model discriminated against maximum extent followed...
Modelling of first lactation milk yield Kankrej cattle was done using five different non-linear mathematical functions viz., exponential decline function (EDF), gamma (GF), inverse polynomial (IPF), mixed log (MLF) and parabolic (PEF). We compared their efficiency in describing variations animals maintained under field conditions. A total 3994 fortnightly daily records 203 calved during the years between 2011 2017 at farmers? herds Banaskantha region Gujarat State, India were utilized for...
