Three purebreds and four crossbred genotypes were obtained. Growth traits including: body weight at different ages; daily weight gain (DG); growth rates (GR%) have been recorded for all genotypes and the results summarized as follow: 1) Pure genotypes at the base generation showed significant differences in body weight at different ages, the same trend was also noticed at the F1 generation. 2) Gimmizah chicken strain was the heaviest birds at different ages (i.e., BWh, BW4, BW8, BW12 and BW16) at the base generation while Sinai strain was the lightest birds for all studied ages. 3) Crossing Sinai males to Gimmizah females resulted in heavier birds comparing with other crosses and reciprocals until 12 weeks of age. However, crossing Sinai females to Gimmizah males resulted the heavier birds across all four crosses at 16 weeks of age. Sex has a significant effect on body weight at all investigated ages, except body weight at hatch for all genotypes in the recent experiment. Interaction effect between strain and sex was not significant for body weight at different ages. Gimmizah strain recorded the highest cumulative daily gain (8.67 g/day) with no significant difference with the cross GS (Gimmizah males × Sinai females) which recorded 8.13 g/day (during the period from hatch to 16wks of age). At the F1 generation, differences between crosses, reciprocal crosses and pure strains were not significant according to ANOVA results, with one exception form 8-12wks of age there were significant differences in growth rate between the different genotypes. In conclusion, crossing Sinai chickens with Gimmizah and S. Montazah strains improved growth traits, and mating between Gimmizah males and Sinai females recommended for meat production purpose.","PeriodicalId":355358,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Animal Poultry and Fish Production","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131830963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Forty single-born Sohagi ewes (8 ewes / each parity, from 1st to 5th) were used, daily ration of ewes consisted of 60 % concentrate mixture and 40 % Egyptian clover and wheat straw as roughage, diets were offered to the ewes to meet their daily requirements. Milk yield, fat corrected milk (FCM6.5 %), and milk components (fat, protein, lactose, total solids, solids not fat and ash) were recorded and estimates weekly for 15 weeks of lactation. Results revealed that the lactation stage had significant (P < 0.05) effects on daily milk yield, FCM6.5 %, and fat, protein, SNF, and total solids contents, mid-lactation had the highest value (1051.6 and 984.3 ml/d) followed by earlylactation (986.1 and 944.5 ml/d) and latelactation had the lowest values (730 and 702.7 ml/d). Milk fat, protein, SNF, and total solids were higher (P < 0.05) at earlyand late-lactation than at mid-lactation. Daily milk yield, FCM6.5 %, and fat, protein, SNF, and total solids contents were increased significantly (p < 0.05) with advancing in parity number of ewes until 4th parity, then decreasing at 5th parity. A significant (P < 0.01) and positive correlations were found between the parity number and daily milk yield, FCM6.5 % and milk contents of fat, protein, SNF and total solids. Finally, the milk production and quality of Sohagi ewes of higher parities have improved, and their use under intensive farm systems will improve the incomes of the breeders. Also, Sohagi ewes have a potential ability to produce milk, which is suitable for dairy products manufacture, which may represent a modern approach to improve the value chain for dairy processing in Upper Egypt, which often depends on milk from cows and buffaloes.

One hundred and fifty 21-weeks-old purpose breeding hens of ISA White strain were distributed randomly into five treatments groups of 30 females. Each group was divided into 3 replicate (10 hens of each) the 1st group was fed a basal diet without additives (control). The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th groups were fed the same basal diet supplemented with 0.1, 0.2 and 0.30 mg Nano-Se/kg diet. The 5th group was fed the same basal diet supplemented with 0.3 mg organic-Se/ kg diet (selenomethionine), respectively. Feed and water were provided ad-libitum throughout the experimental period (21–34 weeks of age). Artificial light was used beside the normal day light to provide 16 hour/ day photo period. The results showed that egg number, egg weight, egg mass, and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were significantly (P≤0.05) improved by nano-se supplementation compared with hens fed the control diet. The best improvement in feed conversion noticed with birds which received 0.3 mg/ kg diet nano-se. Body weight did not induce any significant differences among treatments. Showed the shell thickness, Egg width, Y Width, and YH had significantly increased (P≤0.05) by supplementation of source Se compared the control. On the other hand, shell weight and shell % insignificantly differences in the hen's supplementation of source se compared the control. Also, albumen weight, albumen height, and yolk weight, egg index and egg weight were insignificantly differences in the hens as compared to the control. In conclusion, under hot desert conditions, hens fed nano-selenium at a level of 0.2 mg nano-se/ kg diet might alleviate the drastic effect of heat stress and it's positively reflected on productive performance, and egg quality, economical efficiency and relative economical efficiency.","PeriodicalId":355358,"journal":{"name":"Menoufia Journal of Animal Poultry and Fish Production","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121179322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
