A series of experiments were conducted to investigate the effects red pepper and black powder supplementation on feed intake, conversion ratio, growth performance in broiler chickens. Two-hundred-day-old Cobb 500 Strain chickens randomly divided into five treatments, each replicated four times, with 10 birds per replication from second week. The basal was supplemented ground varying proportions: T1 (control); T2 (basal diet + 0.02% pepper); T3 T4 0.01% T5 pepper). results indicated that...

Growth is one of the traits great economic importance in sheep production. Estimates genetic and environmental parameters different component related to growth are needed for developing a proper selection program. Sex, type birth rearing, age dam, year season among factors that have been reported affect (Sidwell, Everson Terrill, 1963; Smith Lidvall, 1964; Brown, Bangus Sabin, 1961; Acharya, 1962). The effects these important must be considered estimation parameters. strains Bikaneri now...

SUMMARY Eight hundred and ninety-eight records of the interval between calving conception (service period) 349 Hariana cows, progeny 79 sires, were analysed by fitting constants for effects year, month calving, sequence, sex calf, weight cow at calf birth. The average service period was 272·7 days with a coefficient variability 50·7%. longest after first calving. Animals in months February to August had longer than those during September January. Heavier cows tended have shorter period. Sex...

SUMMARY Haemoglobin types of two Indian breeds sheep were related to ram and ewe fertility lamb mortality. Rams with Hb B type had a significantly higher number lambs born ewes mated them. Ewe mortality better, but not so, in animals type.

SUMMARY Heritabilities of birth, weaning, 6-month and yearling weights adjusted for significant non-genetic factors obtained from half-sib correlations were 0·10±0·03, 0·22±0·05, 0·37±0·09 0·48±0·07 respectively. Genetic birth weight with later small negative except weaning weight. among other large positive. The phenotypic these positive statistically highly significant.

Synopsis Data pertaining to a closed White Leghorn flock maintained at the Punjab Agricultural University were used for estimating genetic and phenotypic parameters age first egg 70‐d production also evaluate expected response different methods of selection. Records 2377 pullets, progeny 1001 dams 155 sires over period two years, used. The birds in this attained sexual maturity on an average 176.6 d produced 33.6 eggs 70 production. Heritability was obtained from observational components....

SUMMARY Records on lamb survival were available for 757 lambs, the progeny of 33 rams. Purebred lambs Nali and Lohi breeds crossbred produced by mating ewes to Nellore or Mandya rams, For flock as a whole 93% those born survived 14 days age 86% weaning. A least-squares analysis variance showed that among factors investigated only lamb's weight at birth significantly affected age, birth, ewe's lambing year had significant effects from 15 Heritability estimates based half sib correlations....
