The first study utilized ova transfer in sheep and involved
hormonal treatments for synchronization of estrus and superovulation
in an investigation of crossbred maternal influences on inbred and
linecross lambs.
Synchronization of estrus in ewes was achieved effectively
with either oral progestogen, 6 α-methyl-17α-hydroxy-progesterone
acetate (60 mg./ewe/day), or intramuscular injections...
A study of orientation and homing in brush rabbits, Sylvilagus
bachmani ubericolor (Miller), was conducted on the E. E. Wilson
Game Management Area 7 miles north of Corvallis, Oregon, between
July 1967 and April 1969. Sixty-seven individual rabbits were fitted
with radio-transmitters and returned to the field. Home ranges were...
The viral family Herpesviridae consists of large double stranded DNA viruses including eight species that infect humans with varying pathology from benign rashes to cancerous cell transformation. From three subfamilies, alpha-, beta- and gammaherpes, the alphaherpes contains the genera iltovirus, mardivirus, varicellovirus and simplex, two of which, the human simplex...
Several experiments were conducted to evaluate various forages
and forage levels for use in rabbit diets.
Several tropical forages were evaluated for their potential in
feeding rabbits. One of the tropical forages, Desmodium distortum
produced better growth performance than alfalfa meal. The tropical
forages were used to derive prediction equations...
An evaluation was made on the nutritive value of tropical forages
and by-product feeds for rabbit production. Digestibility of nutrient
fractions, feed preferences, growth, combination of forages, supplementation
of micro and macro nutrients and/or effects of drying temperature
on the quality of four groups of forages, namely woody legumes
(WL),...
In two breeding experiments, straightbred and crossbred rabbits were evaluated for performance characters relating to reproduction, disease resistance, growth and carcass quality. In the first experiment,
New Zealand White CNN) and Flemish Giant (FG) straightbreds and FG sire x (Florida White-New Zealand White dam) terminal-crossbreds (TX) were involved. Reproductive performance...
