This study was designed to determine the effect of prenatal temperature conditioning on hatching and live performance of laying chickens, and response to heat and cold stress during laying period. A total of 3600 eggs ...

The aim of this study was to determine a suitable nonlinear model explaining the lactation season curve of Simmental cows. Monthly milk yield records representing the test days milk yield of 777 Simmental cows were used ...

The study was carried out to identify some production traits of the pure Barred Rock 1 (BR1) line and rapid x slow feathering line crosses derived from the BR1 pure line, in addition to F-1 crosses of all these dam lines ...

In this study, relationships between body weight and testicular characteristics were investigated in Savak Akkaraman rams. Measurements taken from 60 rams in 7 traditional breeding farms were subjected to variance analysis ...

Male reproductive success in the lesser wax moth Achroia grisella is strongly determined by pre-copulatory mate choice, during which females choose among males aggregated in small leks based on the attractiveness of ...

The study was carried out compare the hens reared in free range system and deep-litter system in teens of certain production characteristics. A total of 300 Lohmann Brown hens, with 150 hens in each of the groups were used ...

The aim of this study was to estimate variance components and genetic parameters with six different animal models and two approaches (Bayesian and classical) on weaning weight (WW) of Awassi lambs. For this purpose, the ...

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effects of 11 generations of divergent selection on 5-week body weight in Japanese quail on both phenotypic and genetic variations of parameters of the Richards growth model. ...

Japanese quail is still used as a model for poultry research because of their usefulness as laying, meat, and laboratory animals. Microsatellite markers are the most widely used molecular markers, due to their relative ...

In this study, the aim was to determine the internal and external quality traits of partridge (Alectoris chukar) eggs as well as the Pearson correlation coefficients among these traits. For use in this research, a total ...
