The aim of the study was to determine the effect of changes in body condition score (BSC) on milk yield and reproduction traits in early (30, 60 and 90 d), mid (120 and 150 d) and late lactation (210 and 270 d) in Holstein cows raised on a private dairy cattle farm in Kırşehir, Turkey. The data were obtained from 140 cows calved from November 2014 to November 2015. BSC groups were categorized as low, moderate and high in early lactation (<2.75, 2.75–3.00 and >3.00), midlactation (<3.00, 3.00–3.25 and >3.25) and late lactation (<3.25, 3.25–3.50 and >3.50). Cows with low and moderate BCS in early (BCS<2.75 and BCS=2.75-3.00), mid (BCS<3.00 and BCS=3.00–3.25) and late lactation (BCS<3.25 and BCS>3.50) had a higher daily milk yield (DMY), lactation milk yield (LMY) and 305-day milk yield (305-dMY) (P<0.05). Reproduction traits were also affected (P<0.05) by BCS in mid-lactation. In mid-lactation, the cows with low and moderate BCS had a shorter period of calving to the first service interval (CFSI) and lower number of services per conception (NSC) than that of the cows with high BCS (P<0.05). Both milk yield and reproduction traits were adversely affected by high BCS. It is suggested that BCS can be used as a reliable indicator in indirect selection programs for higher milk yield and reproductive performance in Holstein cows.

This study investigates the influence of heat stress (HS) and vitamin C (VC) and/or vitamin E (VE) on semen quality, biochemical constituents of seminal and blood plasma, antioxidant status and jejunum and ilium deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of roosters. Forty-five, 32-week-old roosters were divided into five groups of nine replicates. One group was kept under a thermoneutral environment, whereas the other four were kept under HS. One of the four groups served as an unsupplemented HS group and was fed the basal diet only. The other three HS groups were supplemented with VC (200 mg/kg ascorbic acid and/or VE 150 mg/kg α-tocopherol acetate). Vitamins fortification completely restored sperm liveability , semen pH, fertility, seminal plasma total protein and globulin to the control level. Vitamins fortification completely recovered seminal plasma and blood plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and malondialdehyde (MDA), red blood cell (RBCs), haemoglobin (Hgb), packed cell volume (PCV), white blood cells (WBCs), blood plasma glucose, lipid profiles, liver enzymes, and renal function. Heterophil/lymphocyte (H/L) ratio was totally restored following VE fortification. Vitamins fortification significantly increased jejunum and ileum DNA compared with the HS group, with VC inducing a complete recovery. In conclusion, either 200 mg /kg VC or 150 mg/kg VE improved semen quality, fertility, seminal plasma and blood biochemistry and haematology of HS roosters, with the VE group yielding

Experimental non-invasive pregnancy diagnostic techniques, such as seed germination testing in diluted urine, may serve as an alternative to standardized pregnancy diagnostic methods, but scientific validation of these methods is required. This study aimed to use Czech Fleckvieh heifers to investigate the influence of urinary reproductive hormones (oestrone sulphate, 17β-oestradiol, and pregnanediol3-glucuronide) on the germination success of seeds placed within their diluted urine, and further to verify the reliability of seed germination test for pregnancy diagnosis in this species. Mung bean and wheat seeds were germinated in two urine-water dilutions (1:4 and 1:14) for three days, using urine samples obtained from either pregnant or non-pregnant heifers. Germinated seeds were counted daily, and the shoot lengths were measured three days after placement in the urine. Levels of urinary reproductive hormones were determined using competitive heterogeneous enzyme immunoassays (EIAs). Despite the dilution rate used, final results indicated that the urine from pregnant heifers inhibited germination and growth in mung beans only. On the contrary, wheat germination rate was higher within the urine from pregnant females on days 1 and 2, when using a 1:14 dilution rate. For both seed species, correlations between urinary hormone profiles and seed germination parameters were found, depending on the day of the experiment and the rate of dilution used. The shoot lengths of mung bean seeds were significantly (P < 0.05) and negatively correlated with the profiles of all hormones analysed from the urine samples. Thus, urinary reproductive hormones influence seed germination and growth rate of wheat and mung beans, indicating the potential for this technique to be used for pregnancy determination in heifers.

Unprecedented losses in biodiversity due to habitat loss and fragmentations in the current era have not only alarmed the scientists worldwide but also urged the need to devise suitable conservation strategies which are impossible without understanding the habitat requirements of the concerned species. Among many conservational methods Habitat suitability models are effective for identification of potential habitat and its relationship with the species. Punjab Urial is an endangered mammalian species of Kala Chitta Range and Salt Range in the Punjab, Pakistan. Maxent model was applied to identify the potential habitat by applying 120 sighting point, topographical and current bioclimatic variables. Possible area under receiver operating characteristics curves (AUC) test for current prediction is 0.988 that shows significant correlation between testing points and variables. In Pakistan total 3477 km area is suitable for Punjab Urial and potential habitats lie in limited areas in Rawalpindi, Sargodha, Gujrat, Mardan, Swabi, Nowshera, North Wziristan, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Laki-Marwat and some area in Azad Jammu & Kashmir. Habitat of Punjab Urial is shrinking due to certain reasons including habitat fragmentation. In-situ and Ex-situ techniques are the major recommendation for species conservation in suitable and potential habitat of Punjab Urial.

Detailed visibility of ooplasm plays a pivotal role in advanced reproductive bio techniques (ICSI, SCNT). To improve visibility, oocytes are usually handled after cumulus denuding. This study was conducted to establish buffalo oocyte quality estimation in denuded form. For this purpose, correlations were recognized among the size of oocyte, ooplasm and zona pellucida (ZP) with oocyte quality in Nili-Ravi buffalo. From slaughter house based ovaries, oocytes (n=150) were collected by aspiration of follicles and categorized into A, B, C, and D grades based on the number of layers of cumulus cell. After denuding with hyaluronidase enzyme, the detailed micrometric study was performed under inverted microscope at 40X by using micro imaging software (cellSens Dimension 1.16). The data were analyzed by correlation test using a statistical analysis system (SAS 9.1). The results demonstrated as the followings, the mean oocytes diameter (149.76±0.99μm), the width of zona pellucida (12.84±0.23μm), ooplasm diameter (117.5±0.70μm), oocyte area (17804±136μm2) and ooplasm area (11308.09±75μm). There was a strong positive correlation between the ooplasm diameter and oocytes diameter in A and B grade oocytes (r=0.7792) as compared to C and D grade oocytes (r=0.5967). However, there was moderate positive correlation between the width of zona pellucida and oocytes diameter in C and D grade oocytes (r=0.6530) as compared to the A and B grade oocytes (r=0.5287). In conclusion, the greater the ooplasm diameter and lesser the width of zona pellucida give rise to the good quality oocytes. Therefore, it is implied that for better developmental competence, the oocytes with bigger ooplasm and thinner zona pellucida should be processed.

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is one of the cash and industrial crops commonly grown throughout the world. This plant is important for the agriculture sector in Turkey, with high-quality varieties being produced in different regions of the country. This study aimed to examine important morphological properties and yield of a cultivar and some genotypes of tobacco under the conditions of Bolu province in Turkey in 2015 and 2016. Genetic variability parameters such as GCV (%), PCV (%), GA and heritability were conducted to provide the best image of the tobacco cultivar and genotypes. GCV values were near to PCV values for the properties like DFT, DT and OV indicative high contribution of genotypic effect for phenotypic expression of such properties. These properties had moderately high heritability with 79.98%, 73.95% and 79.51%, respectively. The highest fresh leaf weight was observed in the AR-1 cultivar (525.0 kg da) and ESR-7 genotype (646.30 kg da) in the first year and BSR-3 (358.22 kg da) and ESR-6 (320.19 kg da) genotypes in the second year. A correlation analysis was also conducted between these traits of tobaccos. Highly significant and positive correlations were found between DFT-DT, LL-LW and FLW-DLW. A dendrogram was constructed to determine the relationships between the investigated plants based on morphological properties and yield values. One cultivar and 29 genotypes were located in two main groups as A (14 genotypes and one cultivar) and B (15 genotypes). The genotypes included same region were located in different groups.
烟草(Nicotiana tabacum)是世界上普遍种植的经济和工业作物之一。这种植物对土耳其的农业部门很重要，在该国不同地区生产高质量的品种。本研究旨在研究2015年和2016年土耳其博卢省烟草栽培品种和部分基因型的重要形态特征和产量。利用GCV(%)、PCV(%)、GA和遗传力等遗传变异参数，获得烟草品种和基因型的最佳图像。DFT、DT和OV等性状的GCV值接近PCV值，表明基因型效应对这些性状的表型表达贡献很大。这些性状的遗传率分别为79.98%、73.95%和79.51%。AR-1和ESR-7基因型的鲜叶重在第一年最高(525.0 kg da)，第二年最高(358.22 kg da)， ESR-6基因型最高(320.19 kg da)。并对这些性状进行了相关分析。DFT-DT、LL-LW和FLW-DLW呈极显著正相关。通过构建树状图来确定所调查植物的形态特征与产量值之间的关系。1个品种和29个基因型分为A(14个基因型和1个品种)和B(15个基因型)两个主要群体。同一区域的基因型分布在不同的组中。

This plant is important for the agriculture sector in Turkey, with high-quality varieties being produced in different regions of the country. This study aimed to examine important morphological properties and yield of a cultivar and some genotypes of tobacco under the conditions of Bolu province in Turkey in 2015 and 2016. Genetic variability parameters such as GCV (%), PCV (%), GA and heritability were conducted to provide the best image of the tobacco cultivar and genotypes. GCV values were near to PCV values for the properties like DFT, DT and OV indicative high contribution of genotypic effect for phenotypic expression of such properties. These properties had moderately high heritability with 79.98%, 73.95% and 79.51%, respectively. The highest fresh leaf weight was observed in the AR-1 cultivar (525.0 kg da) and ESR-7 genotype (646.30 kg da) in the first year and BSR-3 (358.22 kg da) and ESR-6 (320.19 kg da) genotypes in the second year. A correlation analysis was also conducted between these traits of tobaccos. Highly significant and positive correlations were found between DFT-DT, LL-LW and FLW-DLW. A dendrogram was constructed to determine the relationships between the investigated plants based on morphological properties and yield values. One cultivar and 29 genotypes were located in two main groups as A (14 genotypes and one cultivar) and B (15 genotypes). The genotypes included same region were located in different groups.","PeriodicalId":14924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Plant Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"442-453"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84601735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A decreasing tendency in the populations of the European brown hare can be observed in the whole of Europe from the mid-1960s to the present day. Among the reasons for declining populations fertility indicators of females are also mentioned. The aim of our study was to determine the reproductive parameters of the species in eastern Hungary. During the years 2015-2016, we studied two hundred animals (121♀, 79♂). Altogether, 121 uteri (81 adult and 40 juvenile) and 79 testicles were examined. The number of placental scars showed us the number of offspring in reproductive periods. The age of hares was estimated based on the weight of dried eye lens. The number of placental scars in the general linear model was significantly affected by hunting areas, the age of animals, the interaction of the former two, and also by body weight and kidney fat indices. The age of hares, the hunting year, the effect of the interaction of the former two, and body weight seriously contributed to the weight of the testicles. Based on the number of placental scars, 70.37% of adult and 62.50% of juvenile females were proved to be capable of reproduction. One can conclude from the above that although fertility indicators may play an important role in the decreasing trend in the numbers of Hungarian brown hare populations, they are definitely not the main causes.
