Being a multipurpose animal, the camels are even today not only a vital component of desert ecosystem but a live asset of the people in the irrigated planes and cities of many developing countries as it is the camel's ability to convert the scanty desert food sources into milk and meat for human consumption. Genetics could be a powerful tool to modify animal growth rate and body composition, and has been largely used to adapt animal production to the market requirements. In the present project an effort has been made to determine genetic analysis for genetic differences in the local Pakistani...

The study was carried out to compare midline and flank approaches for ovariohysterectomy in cats. The following parameters were studied: incision length, duration of operation (min), duration of wound healing (days), gross wound appearance, histological characterization of wound healing and complications. Twenty four (24) cats were divided into two groups based on surgical approaches for ovariohysterectomy Group-F (Flank approach) and Group-M (Midline approach). Both groups were further sub-divided into two subgroups, each comprising of 6 cats, based on age. Thus, there were total four...

Morphological studies were conducted on the long bones (Humerus, Radius and ulna and large metacarpal) of 60 clinically healthy animals (30 Bari goats and 30 Dumbi sheep) of both sexes, slaughtered at Tandojam and Tando Allahyar abattoirs. For comparative study animals were divided in three age groups viz., kids/lambs (6-9 months), yearlings (13-21 months) and adult (21-24 months). In view of the findings discussed above it conceivable to conclude that: The long bones of pectoral limb of Dumbi sheep observed to be massive in terms of weight, circumference and breadth of proximal and distal...
