In the present study, the SI was constructed utilizing the five generations data of Vanaraja male line (PD-1) for body weight (BW-6) and shank length (SL-6) at 6 weeks of age with variance, covariance estimates and heritability of both the traits. The SI was employed on three generations data on simulation basis and the selection parameters were estimated and compared with the mass selection (MS) actually practiced in the population. The least squares mean of SL-6, the primary trait of selection increased from 76.63±0.002 (G-I) to 82.85 ±0.002 mm (G-II), and subsequently reduced to 80.17±001 mm (G-III). The BW-6 also followed similar trend. Generation had significant effect on both SL-6 and BW-6. The heritability estimates for SL-6 and BW-6 were moderate with 0.21 to 0.28 for SL-6 and 0.22 to 0.27 for BW-6. The two traits exhibited high degree of positive association with 0.87 to 0.92 correlation coefficient. The economic value estimated for weight and shank length was 1:8.95. Thus, the selection index constructed was I= 0.2260*BW6, g + 0.7717*SL6, mm. Selection differential was higher in SI method on pooled basis compared to MS in all three generations for the primary trait, SL-6. The response to selection and selection intensity was also higher in SI method compared to MS. A similar trend was observed for BW-6 with respect to selection differential and response to selection. The study concluded that SI was superior to mass selection based on the results in Vanaraja male line chicken.","PeriodicalId":13507,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"232 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bali cattle have unique characteristics that is the white sock. In the Maiwa breeding center, Enrekang district, South Sulawesi Province, polled Bali cattle are being kept in large quantities, both male and female. The microsatellites are widely used in the study of population genetics and quantitative trait locus. Therefore, the study aims to observe genetic diversity and determine whether microsatellites can distinguish horned Bali cattle, polled Bali cattle, and Banteng as their wild relatives. DNA was isolated from blood samples of 57 Bali cattle from two different populations: horned Bali (n=20) from Nusa Penida Island Bali province, polled Bali cattle (n=37) from Maiwa Breeding Center, South Sulawesi province, and 20 samples of Banteng from Ragunan Zoo (n=10), Jakarta Province and Surabaya Zoo (n=10), East Java Province. Genotyping was done using 11 microsatellite markers. The size of each microsatellite marker was determined using GeneMapper version 5.0. The observed heterozygosity value (Ho), expected heterozygosity value (He), the heterozygote deficit within the breed (Fis), gene flow (Nm), Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HW), and allele frequency were performed using CERVUS version 3.0.7 program. The FSTAT 2.9.4 was performed to obtain Fis value from two different populations.Similarly, bayesian clustering assignments were analyzed using STRUCTURE version 2.2. The polymorphism information content of eleven microsatellite markers ranged from 0.390-0.879. Moreover, we found Fis values of all markers which depicted that there is no inbreeding in horned and polled Bali cattle populations. We also found that polled Bali cattle have more private alleles than horned Bali cattle. Using Bayesian analysis, we found different genetic structures between polled Bali and horned Bali cattle with the K optimal at K=3. Findings indicated that ILST6 allele 288, TGLA53 allele 132, and TGLA227 allele 70 can be considered as the private allele to differentiate between the horned, polled Bali cattle and Banteng.","PeriodicalId":13507,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These combinations were made in a triplicate and added with no additive (C), 2% urea (T1), 1% molasses (T2) and a mixture of 2% urea and 1% molasses (T3) in completely randomized design (CRD). The silages were harvested after 45 days and then analyzed for chemical composition, fermentation characteristics and anti-nutritional factors. Results revealed that dry matter (DM), acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), crude fibre (CF), ash and pH increased with an increase in the proportion of paddy straw in all combinations. Addition of 2% urea increased in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), crude protein (CP) and total gas production (TGP) of paddy straw and maize fodder silage. Urea treatment considerably reduced the oxalate content and increased the tannin content of paddy straw and maize fodder silage. In the present study, silage prepared by combining paddy straw and maize fodder in ratio of 25:75 had good aroma and fermentation characteristics which can be, therefore, utilized for effective silage making.","PeriodicalId":13507,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135351300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lambs’ body weight, feed intake and feed conversion ratio were recorded weekly. At 46 kg live body weight, three lambs from each group were slaughtered in order to record carcass and non-carcass characteristics. Lambs fed olive pomace had significantly higher average daily gain and feed conversion ratio than those fed on the control diet. The experimental groups also produced carcass yield mainly due to an increase in carcass weight. Lambs fed 12% olive pomace had significantly higher rib eye area and fat thickness. The wholesale cuts showed that lambs fed olive pomace had significantly higher shoulder and shank percentage and significantly lower loin percentage than those of the lambs fed on the control diet. Most carcass cuts of lambs fed 8% olive pomace recorded significantly higher percentage of lean.

Animal fibre being a significant contributor to the agricultural economy needs special attention. This is especially true for sheep and goats where fibre production can account for as much as 20% of the total gross income. It is therefore necessary to gain a better insight into the genes governing wool traits. Gene mapping studies have identified some chromosomal regions influencing fibre quality and production. These may help in the selection of animals producing better quality wool. These are more efficient and accurate than the conventional techniques. This paper critically reviews various genes governing fibre growth in animals and their importance. Fibre quality and production genes may provide novel insights into our understanding of the science ofgenetics and breeding. The discovery of new fibre-related genes and their functions may also help in future studies related to fibre development and in the development of new and advanced techniques for the improvement of fibre production and quality.","PeriodicalId":13507,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Animal Sciences","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135350830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
