This research was carried out to study some hattching egg traits and chick weight at
day old in black type of Syrian local hens and Egyptian Fayoumi strain , and study the
differences in egg traits and chicks which come from hybrization between Syr
ian black
male and Fayoumi female.
Results showed that the average egg weight of Syrian hens was 52.33 g and of
Fayoumi hens was 46.86 g .
The fertility rate increased in hybrid egg compared with parents . It was87.94% in
hybrid compared with 84.08% in Syrian hens and 77.22% in Fayoumi strain hens.
The day old hybrid chick weight increased compared with Fayoumi chick. It was 32g
in hybrid chicks while it was 30 g in Fayoumi chicks , and it was lower compared with
black Syrian chicks (35g). Hatchability rate was 89.5% and 92.3% in Syrian local hens
and Egyptian Fayoumi hens respectively .And this rate decreased to 82.6% for the hybrid .
Chicks hatched decreased to 69.2% for hybrid compared with 72.93%for Syrian local hens
and 69.44% for Egyptian Fayoumi hens .
The mortality of hybrid chicks was 3.3% , it was lower compared with mortality of
Fayoumi chicks (6.05%) and higher compared with mortality of Syrian chicks (2.22%).
This descriptive research aims to explore the state of affairs of the top students in Lattakia high schools and the factors that led to their eminence. It also aims to identify the role of some socio-educational, familial, and economical factors (as
independent variables), and educational achievement (as a dependent variable).
The researcher followed social survey approach to collect data for each of the research's variables concerning top students from Ghassan Harfouche, and Ezz Al-deen schools in Lattakia. Data was collected by a questionnaire addressed to one hundred top students. School registers of the above mentioned schools showed that 9% , 35%, 43%, and 13% of students obtained 90% , 89-70%, 69-50%, and 13% of the total degree respectively in all disciplines.
The research showed that eminence is related to the educational level of the parents, family income, and the way the students spend their free time. In addition, factors such as gender, and teacher appeal, and genetic factors affect educational achievement positively. However, large number of family members affect achievement negatively. Another factor that affects the student's achievement positively is the numerous studying hours per day.
During the three successive seasons of 2002, 2003, and 2004 six populations,
viz.,P1,P2,F1,F2,BC1, and BC2 of two single crosses of cotton (Aleppo40 x
Aleppo90) and (Aleppo33/1 x Line118) were established and evaluated to
explore heterosis, inbree
ding depression, heritability and genetic advance
under selection for reproductive branches number, number of bolls per plant,
boll weight, and ginning percentage. Significant positive heterotic effects were
found for all the studied traits in two crosses except ginning percentage (in the
second cross). Significant positive heterosis over mid-parent and higher parent
for yield components (number of bolls per plant and boll weight) may lead to a
positive heterosis for seed cotton yield/plant.
Succes of a breeding program depends, to a great extent, on understanding
the gentic behavior of the traits. This investigation was conducted to study and
examine the inheritance of some economically important characters such as:
total bolls numbe
r, actual bolls number, ginning percentage , boll weight,
harvest index, flowering earliness, maturity earliness, plant height,and fiber
fineness.
