...ical parameters in local lambs. A total of 30 lambs are classified into three groups. G1 (ten lambs) received Silymarin (420 mg/kg) orally, G2 (ten lambs) received Silymarin (210 mg/kg) orally, while G3 (ten lambs) received distal water (control group). Several parameters are used in the current study to evaluate silym...

...mposition of thin-tailed lambs. Twenty one thin-tailed lambs (aged 3 months) were allocated into a completely randomised design with 3 treatments of feeding level, namely T1= 4% body weight (BW), T2 = 5.5% BW and T3 = ad libitum. The diet was given in pellet form, containing 61.79% total digestible nutrients (TDN) and 13.74% crude protein (CP). The lambs were raised from an initial body we...

...hism of the CAST gene in lambs of the Saryarka meat production line and to evaluate associations between the CAST genotype and live weight in 180-day-old lambs. A total of 60 lambs were genotyped by the PCR-RFLP method. Two genotypes, MM and MN, were identified with frequencies of 0.59 and 0.41, respectively. According to the association analysis, lambs ...

...parts of the body. while lambs infected with SPV, showed more severe symptoms of this infection. The genetic analysis of both IL-10 and ORF103 genes showed high sequence similarity with sequences from Turkey and Saudi Arabia. This study provides information about the molecular characteristics of SPV after the genetic analysis of the important genes of this virus. This gives us ideas to develop better diagnostic tools and control measures and help to decrease t...
