The aim of this study was to evaluate the affecting factors of
Buffalo milk production in Al- Ghab Plain. The data were
collected according to the farmers during the season of 2009-2010.
The effect of parturition season, dry period and calving int
erval
were studied. The results showed that the mean milk production
was 934,96 kg with 8.1% fat and 4.85% protein. The lactation
period was 180-240 days, the dry period was 120-180 days and the calving interval mean was 420 days. Our results indicated that the quantity of buffalo milk in Syria was low because of the short
lactation period, the long dry period and the long calving interval.
But it could be possible to improve the buffalo milk production by
the better rasing conditions and genetic improvement.
The ectopic adrenal corticed were located in close adherent of the main
adrenal gland and they were delineated by a distinct connective tissue capsule.
Cells representing glomerulosa and fasciculata zones were predominant in the
ectopic adrenal cortices. Whereas, cells of zona reticularis and medullary zone
were absent.
