This research was carried out during two seasons 2014 – 2015 to study effect of seed
coats on germination of endocarp, seed and embryos of two wild genotypes (M1, M2) of
Mahaleb rootstock (Prunus mahaleb L.) prevailing in Alhaffa area, Lattakia. Th
e
experiments were done at Lattakia Scientific Agricultural Research center and Faculty of
Agriculture at Tishreen University.
The Results of the seeds planted on agar 0.7% in dark at 15 C° showed that no
germination of the M1 endocarp VS late and low germination at 10% for the M2 endocarp
starting after 98 days. As for seeds, the germination was (66.66%) and (53.33%) for M1
and M2, respectively. Removal of the woody coat (endocarp) and seed coat makes the
germination faster. the embryos germination was (80%) and (60%) for M1 and M2,
respectively.
The design of milking spaces, which are called Mahlab, is considered as the main factor for many
experts in agricultural engineering and animal production. The main aim is to determine the optimum
parlour milking with highest production and little
stress, whereas the parlour milking is considered as the
most important design factor in the barn because it is Influences getting the milk in cattle productivity
farms.
According to the importance of milk production, which effects on the local production and economy, this
paper treats with the most effective factors in the design of parlour milking in cattle farms, in order to be
suitable for dairy cattle production by considering its numbers, its movement and its suitable space. So,
this reflects its impacts on the level of production, in addition it shows the most important type of parlour
milking in the world that reflects the advantages and disadvantages that determine the type and size of
required parlour milking and its location and relationship with the cattle barn.
