adults; biometry; body length; body weight; females; head; juveniles; males; models; neck; phenotypic correlation; rump; variance; vicunas; Peru
Abstract:
... The objectives were to determine the phenotypic correlations between biometric characteristics and obtain predictive functions of vicuña body weight (BW) at shearing. Measurements were recorded in 69 males and 119 females in the area of influence of the Campesino Community of Huachocolpa, Huancavelica region of Peru, during the annual management for the shearing or "chaccu", in 2017. The animals w ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this experiment was to investigate the effects of wheat bran feruloyl oligosaccharides (FOs) as an antioxidant supplement on performance, blood metabolites, antioxidant status and ruminal fermentation of lambs. Fifty, two-month-old crossbred male lambs (Dorper × Small-tail Han Sheep) with an initial body weight (BW) of 20.21 ± 3.36 kg were randomly assigned into five groups of ten ...

Abstract:
... Arginine is one of the conditional essential amino acids for immature mammals. The deficiency of arginine in the diet may constrain growth and development of newborn kidlets through affecting the milk performance of lactating goats. In our present study, lactating crossbred of Boer goat (Capra hircus) and Yangtse River Delta White (Haimen) goat with twin male suckling kidlets were used to investig ...

Abstract:
... The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of adding fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seed powder (FSP) to the diet on dry matter intake (DMI), live weight gain and carcass characteristics in fattening male lambs. Thirty lambs (27.5 ± 0.45 kg body weight (BW) at eight months of age) were allotted to three experimental diets in a completely randomized design. Experimental diets were 1 ...

Abstract:
... Stable isotopes can be an important research tool to track C and N in grazing experiments. This study tested different proportions of C4 grass and legume and the correlation between dietary δ13C with fecal δ13C. Forty lambs, male, with average body weight of 20.4 kg, were randomized in a complete block design and fed Tifton-85 (Cynodon spp.) and Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) hays, at different levels ...
