The Effect of Adding Cotton Meal and Soy Bean Meal on Glucose and total Blood Protein Serum of Shami Goat Kids

The study was conducted on 18 Shami goat Kids in the Agricultural Scientific Research Center in Hama, their age was 150 days, to ages and weights, reaching an average of 23.2kg, and they were dived into three groups(6 per group) depending on the source of the protein included in the composition. The died for each of them 14%(as a 100% unshelled cotton gain for the first group, 100% soybean gain for the second group, a 50% unpeeled cotton gain and 50% soybean gain for the third group). Blood samples from the jugular vein were collected from all test subjects before starting feeding on the feed. Watch after one, two and three months from the start of feeding. Gifts blood samples were analyzed in all groups and a study of the indicators of glucose, general protein, albumin and globulin in blood serum to assess the energy and protein metabolism of gifts, when feeding on these diets. The results showed a significant increase (ᴘ≤0.05) in the concentration of glucose in gifts after two months of experience in the three groups, but this was the highest increase in the second group versus the control and the first and third groups, then its concentration decreased after that. A significant increase (ᴘ≤0.05) was observed with the concentration of the total protein in the blood serum after a month of the experiment. The total protein concentration decreased after three months in the blood kids in second and third groups compared with the first and control groups. The albumin concentration decreased after two months (ᴘ≤0.05) in the first group compared with second, third and control, also it's decreased after three months in the first and third groups compared with the second and control. The globulin concentration in the blood serum increased after one month in the three groups compared with the control, then in two months decreased( not significant) in the three groups, and after three months decreased (ᴘ≤0.05) the globulin concentration in the second and third groups.The increase in the weights of gift items in the groups was respectively: the first group 9.45kg (95g ∕ day), the second group 13.6kg (136g ∕day) and the third group 10.45kg (106g ∕day). We conclude that the energy and protein metabolic indicators were the best in the second group feeding 100% soybean meal as a protein source, which can reduce the period for fattening gifts and reflect positively on economic side and income generation.

Effect of Glutamine , Proline and Vitamin B12 on Characteristics of frozen Semen and its fertitity in Shami Goats

The aim of the research was to evaluate the effectiveness of adding different concentrations of glutamine (25 and 50 mmol / ml), proline (25 and 50 mmol / mol) and vitamin B12 (2.5 and 5 mg / ml) to an extension solution (sodium citrate and glucose with egg yolk prepared in the laboratory, And comparing it with a ready-made commercial extension solution Andromed as a standard solution in preserving semen in male Shami goats.

Analysis of the Genetic Diversity in Syrian Shami Goats

يعد الماعز الشامي في سورية من الحيوانات الزراعية المحلية الهامة لما يملكه من مزايا ومواصفات تمكنه من الإنتاج والتناسل تحت الظروف البيئية القاسية لهذا فقد استخدم في برامج الخلط التربوي مع الماعز الجبلي كمعطي لمورثات صفة إنتاج الحليب الجيدة للحيوانات الخليطة

Semen Characteristics in Growing Shami Male Goats

This Study was carried-out at Shami Goat Improvement Station in Karahta. Ten growing Shami male goats, aged 8 months, housed and managed under the same conditions were used to study the semen characteristics. Artificial vagina was used to collect semen at weekly intervals, for 13 months to determine the volume, motility, pH, and sperm concentration using Neubaure- Spectrophotometer and Spermiodensimeter techniques. Overall averages and standard errors of volume, motility, concentration, and pH were 0.9 ± 0.07 ml, 65.24 ± 1.41%, 3.57 ± 0.14 billion/ml, and 6.52 ± 0.07, respectively. Seasonal variations were observed. A positive significant correlation between volume and motility (r= 0.42, P<0.01) was found, while negative correlations (P<0.01) between pH and other studied semen characteristics were recorded. Linear equations for detecting sperm concentration as measured by either, Spermiodensimeter or Spectrophotometer were obtained.

Determination of Testosterone and LH levels in Growing Shami Male Goats

This study was carried out at the Shami Goat Improvement Station at Karahta. Twenty one week old Shami male goats were used to measure the concentrations of testosterone and LH hormones in plasma over a period of 21 months, using the Enzyme Linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA), in order to determine the sexual puberty age. All kids were housed and managed under the husbandry regimes applied at Karahta station.

Development of Testicular Measurements of Growing Shami Male Goats

This Study was carried-out in Karahta station for improvement of Shami goats, Directorate of Animal Production Research, Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform. Fifty growing Shami male goats aged ٣ months, were used to measure the growth rate of testicular parameters, their relation to the development of body weight and the effect of several factors on their development from weaning at ٣ months to ٢١ months of age. All kids housed and managed under the same conditions.
