SUMMARYThe present study deals with the reproductive performance of an imported Suffolk flock and the cross-bred ewes resulting from upgrading the local Ossimi sheep with the Suffolk. A total of 1738 ewe records were available for the study.No significant difference was found between Suffolk and Ossimi ewes in conception rate or proportion of multiple births. However, the Ossimi ewes (mated to Suffolk rams) weaned 25 more lambs per 100 ewes lambing than the imported ewes. The cross-bred ewes were of better reproductive performance than both pure-breds. The best Suffolk cross-bred ewes were those of 40–49 % Suffolk breeding. They weaned 21 more lambs per 100 ewes run with the rams than the local ewes. Reproductive performance of the cross-bred ewes declined with increasing Suffolk genotype above this proportion.Under the prevailing sub-tropical conditions, the Suffolk ewes have an anoestrous period of 200 days from late January to late July or August; the local ewes showed oestrous activity throughout the year, but with some irregularity.

ЖАРКОВА И.П., ГРИШИНА Д. С. Федеральный научный центр «Всероссийский научно-исследовательский и технологический институт птицеводства» Российской академии наук Аннотация: Авторами изучены генетические параметры хозяйственно-полезных признаков гусей (сохранность, яйценоскость, масса яиц, оплодотворенность и выводимость яиц, вывод гусят) в зависимости от их происхождения. Новизна работы заключается в том, что впервые проведен анализ закономерностей проявления репродуктивных качеств у родственных групп гусей. При сравнительном изучении 21 породы гусей установлено, что группа пород гусей, родственных между собой по общему селекционному предку, а именно китайской серой породе (1-я родословная), имеет более высокие воспроизводительные способности по сравнению с другими породами и группами пород. Полученные данные будут применяться в дальнейшей работе с целью совершенствования приемов сохранения генофонда малочисленных пород гусей.

Intermittent Lighting Improves the Efficiency of Artificial Insemination in Cage Housed Laying Hens Kavtarashvili A.Sh., Kolokolnikova T.N. Federal Scientific Center “All-Russian Research and Technological Poultry Institute” of Russian Academy of Sciences Omsk Agrarian Scientific Center Summary: The effects of different lighting regimes on the oviposition schedule, productive performance, and reproductive efficiency in cage housed laying hens of layer parental flock (Hisex White-R) were studied; the reasonable regime of artificial insemination (AI) under intermittent lighting is proposed. It was found that intermittent lighting regime 1L:4D:4L:1D:4L:10D compared to the constant lighting significantly alters oviposition schedule: under this regime 82.3% of all daily eggs were laid until 9 am (vs. 66.6% in control). This regime and AI at 10 am improved the productive and reproductive performance compared to control (constant lighting 16L:8D and AI at 12 am): mortality by 1.9%, egg production per initial hen by 3.8%, egg weight by 1.1%, percentage of eggs suitable for incubation by 1.9%, egg fertility by 0.9%, hatchability by 2.3%, hatch of chicks by 2.9%, feed conversion ratio (kg of feed per 10 eggs) by 5.3%, the expenses of electric energy for lighting (per 1000 eggs suitable for incubation) by 54.5%.

ABSTRACT Mature female hamsters bearing subcutaneous polyacrylamide (PAA) implants, with ethinyloestradiol (EO), for at least 10 days prior to mating revealed: 0.5 and 2.5 mg EO in 7% PAA significantly disturb the timing of oestrus and mating, but have no apparent effect on rate of pregnancy, ovulation and implantation. 2.5 mg EO in 20 and 40% PAA conspicuously reduces the likelihood of pregnancy, although the occurrence of oestrus and mating are affected only slightly. Fertility in these hamsters was virtually restored, judging from pregnancy rates, when they were remated 11 days, or more, following removal of their implants (37 days after implantation), but significantly more foetuses were resorbed in these litters. From tissue sections of skin and muscle at the implant site, ovary, uterus, pituitary, adrenals and liver, PAA implants, without EO, cause no overt pathological changes in the bearer. Effects characteristic of oestrogen are present when these implants contain EO, and these include a conspicuous thickening of the epidermis and dermis; haemorrhagic lesions were also noted in the maternal placenta of animals with EO implants. There is an association between reproductive performance and the rate of EO release by an implant. A 7% PAA implant with 2.5 mg EO can release most of it within 2 days, and principally influences events (oestrus and mating) that precede the main target (pregnancy) of a 20% PAA implant, which releases the steroid over the longer interval of 7 days.
