Application of Nutrigenomics for Enhancement of Body Growth in Ruminants
Abstract: the same diet may perform differently and it is due to differences in ability of nutrients to interact within the biological systems affecting molecular pathways resulting in differences in body weight gain, production or reproduction performances. For better understanding of the above processes, nutrigenomics and endocrinomics; two emerging fields that are of great help to discover the differential expression and function of genes occur with different diets, have come up. …

Pneumonic Pasteurellosis in a Sheep Flock and Its Management
Abstract: AbstractAn adult sheep was presented to the clinic with complaint of inappetence, respiratory distress and weakness. Examination of the sheep revealed pyrexia, tachycardia, tachypnea, pale mucous membrane, harsh and crackles while auscultation of lungs. Postmortem examination of the sheep revealed consolidations of the lung lobes, frothy exudates along the trachea, bronchi and smears from the lungs revealed presence of Pasteurella organisms. All the sheep in the flock showing the similar …

Significance of Artificial Insemination in Poultry
Abstract: AbstractArtificial insemination (AI) involves the deposition of semen into female reproductive tract manually. It starts from the collection of the semen from the male and its evaluation in terms of motility, viability and concentration followed by its deposition into female reproductive tract. Sexual maturity in both male and female bird occurs at 18 weeks of age. One ejaculate of a male can cover up 20 female birds by using AI. …

Diagnosis and Surgical Management of Dog Bite Induced Cystorrhexis in a Dog
Abstract: AbstractA two years male Pomeranian dog was presented to clinics with a history of dog bite wounds on the ventral abdomen, anuria and anorexia since last two days. It was tentatively diagnosed as lower urinary tract trauma with uroperitoneum based on physical examination, abdominocentesis, radiography and ultrasonography. Emergency laparotomy under general anaesthesia was performed and cystorrhaphy was done after retrograde catheterization of the urethra and an indwelling catheter was placed …

Phenotypic Variances in ‘Djallonke’ Sheep reared under Extensive Management System in Tolon District of Ghana
Abstract: AbstractThe study of the phenotypic body traits of the West African Dwarf (Djallonke’) sheep in the Tolon District of Ghana is necessary for the attainment of detailed description of this breed. A total of 124 sheep were randomly selected from flocks reared under extensive system by farmers. Biometric traits including live body weight (LW), rump height (RH), height at withers (HW), body length (BL), neck length (NL), ear length (EL) …

Kisspeptin Modulates Reproduction in Ruminants
Abstract: AbstractKisspeptin, a neuropeptide encoded by the KiSS1 gene and its cognate, KiSS1R are the key regulators of reproduction in animals. Kisspeptin, also known as metastin, is a potent secretagogue of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). It stimulates the GnRH neurons in the brain and generates pulses for GnRH thereby its secretion and release, and this in turn stimulates the release of LH and FSH. Owing to its importance in reproductive biology, the …
