Twelve growing Shami heifers available in Dier-Al-Hajar Station for improving Shami Cattle weighing 115±3 kg and 178±4 days old were used to determine the weekly hormonal concentrations of progesterone (P4) and estradiol 17-β (E2) during the pre- and puberty stages (6-14 mos). Blood samples were collected weekly from the Jugular vein using vacutainer tubes supported with K3EDTA.

Research summary
تتناول هذه الدراسة رصد مستويات هرموني البروجستيرون والأستراديول في بلازما دم عجلات البقر الشامي النامية وعلاقتها ببلوغها الجنسي. أجريت الدراسة على 12 عجلة في محطة بحوث دير الحجر، حيث تم جمع عينات الدم أسبوعياً من الوريد الوداجي وتحليلها باستخدام تقنية ELISA. أظهرت النتائج زيادة معنوية في تركيز هرمون الأستراديول مع تقدم العجلات في العمر واقترابها من سن البلوغ، حيث ارتفع متوسط تركيزه من 15.86 بغ/مل عند عمر 6 أشهر إلى 20.93 بغ/مل عند عمر 14 شهراً. في المقابل، لم يظهر هرمون البروجستيرون تغيرات معنوية في مستوياته خلال الفترة من 6 إلى 13 شهراً، لكنه ارتفع بشكل ملحوظ عند عمر 400 يوماً. استنتجت الدراسة أن عجلات البقر الشامي تصل إلى البلوغ الجنسي عند متوسط عمر 400 يوماً ووزن 250 كغ، وأوصت بضرورة البحث في أسباب ارتفاع مستوى هرمون الأستراديول في هذا النوع من الأبقار مقارنة بغيرها من السلالات.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة خطوة مهمة في فهم العوامل الهرمونية المؤثرة على بلوغ عجلات البقر الشامي. ومع ذلك، يمكن تحسين الدراسة من خلال زيادة حجم العينة لتكون أكثر تمثيلاً للسكان. كما أن الدراسة لم تتناول العوامل البيئية والغذائية بشكل كافٍ، والتي قد تؤثر على مستويات الهرمونات. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، كان من المفيد تضمين مقارنة مع سلالات أخرى تحت نفس الظروف البيئية والغذائية لتحديد ما إذا كانت الفروقات في مستويات الهرمونات ناتجة عن العوامل الوراثية أم البيئية.

Twelve growing Shami heifers available in Dier-Al-Hajar Station for improving Shami Cattle weighing 115±3 kg and 178±4 days old were used to monitor the daily growth of ovarian follicles (daily numbers, size, length and number of waves, rate of gr owth and regression) using Transrectal Ultrasound Echo System (7.5 MHz probe) in 6-14 months-old heifers. Results indicated that ovarian follicles developed in a wave pattern in all Shami heifers when they were 6 months old and no significant differences in the number and size of ovarian follicles were found between right and left ovaries. A cohort of 4 to 7 small follicles with a diameter 2-5 mm developed together and one of them was selected for continual growth, became dominant and later regressed during the pre-pubertal stage.
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.
Twelve growing Shami heifers available in Dier-Al-Hajar Station for improving Shami Cattle during 2005-2007 weighing 250±11 kg and 400±21 days old were used to monitore the growth of dynamic of ovarian follicles (daily numbers, size, length and nu mber of waves, rate of growth and regression) and characteristics of estrus cycle (length, time of dominancy, diameter of Graffian follicle and estrus and ovulatory times), length of corpus luteum (CL) during the estrous cycle. Heifers were maintained under uniform conditions and fed according to their daily growth. Transrectal Ultrasound Echo System (7.5 MHz probe) was used to study the ovarian structures and to monitor the daily development and regression of ovarian follicles, the formation and regression of corpus luteum in the left and right ovaries during the estrus cycle. Results indicated that the growth turnover of ovarian follicles was observed and developed in a wave pattern in all Shami heifers and no significant differences in the number and sizes of ovarian follicles were found between right and left ovaries. A cohort of 5 to 7 small follicles with a diameter 2-5 mm developed together and one of them was selected to continue growing and becomes dominant and later on being regressed or ovulated during the estrus cycle. One to five follicular waves were observed per cycle and each wave was characterized by the development of one large (dominant) follicle and a variable number of smaller follicles. The estrus cycle with one follicular wave occurred only in heifers exhibited the first post pubertal cycles with an average length equaled to 8.67±0.33 days. Frequency of estrus cycle according to the number of follicular waves was 8.4, 25.3, 44.2, 20 and 2.1% in cycles having 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 follicular waves, respectively. Furthermore , the length of estrus cycle was also related to the number of follicular waves and it was 21.87±0.62, 22.44±0.74, 26.4±0.72, 26.50±3.50 days in cycles having 2, 3, 4 and 5 follicular waves, respectively with significant differences (P < 0.05) in cycles with 2 or 3 vs. 4 and/or 5 waves. The functional duration of CL was extended to 9, 12 and 15 days in a short (17-19 days), intermediate (20-24 days) and long estrus cycle (≥ 25 days). The maximum diameter of dominant follicles in ovulatory waves was significantly larger (P < 0.05) than that of dominant follicles in nonovulatory waves. In conclusion, this study showed that the development of ovarian follicles in Shami heifers occurs in waves and the most common pattern is three waves per estrous cycle.
Ten growing Shami female dromedaries, 27 weeks old were used to determine peripheral levels of glucose, IGF-1 and leptin in prepubertal Shami dromedary heifers. Body weight(BW) was measured and blood samples were collected weekly from the jugular vein for 6 months in EDTA-containing tubes. Serum was separated and stored at −20°C for later analysis. Glucose was determined using a colorimetric glucose oxidase kit. Serum concentrations of IGF-1 and leptin were assayed using some modifications of bovine radioimmunoassay procedures. Animals were grouped according to their birth date, body weight or average daily gain and variations in the plasma concentrations of parameters as well as to the effect of studied factors were tested and assessed by analysis of variance using the general linear model, repeated measurements procedures of SAS. It is reported for the first time information on peripheral levels of glucose, IGF-1 and leptin hormones in sexually immature dromedary heifers and results indicated that BW had a significant effect (p<0.05) on IGF-1 levels. Overall means for glucose, Igf-1 and leptin, were 188 ± 4.11 mg\dl, 222 ± 6.43 ng\ml, and13.27 ± 0.16 ng\ml, respectively and it was found that those concentrations were greater than values in sexually immature females in the other domestic animals. Such information might be helpful for specialists to search for the role of these hormones in the reproductive function and develop breeding programs to reduce the period of the onset of puberty and increase the reproductive performance of dromedary camels.
This study was carried out at Camel Research Station, Deer Al-Hajar, Directorate of Animal Wealth Research, General Commission of Agricultural Scientific Research to measure the testicular dimensions, TDs (Length, TL; width, TW; Circumference, TC) ; the relationship between these parameters and to use them as an indicator to determine the puberty age in Shami camel males. Twenty five camel raised in the station were equally divided, according to their age, into five groups: G1, almost one year,G2, G3, G4, and G5 were 2, 3, 4 and 5 years old, respectively.
