Indices for the identification of biologically productive cashmere goats within farms

, 2015
Objectively comparing cashmere goats with different cashmere production, mean fibre diameter (MFD) and staple length (SL) is difficult for farmers. We aimed to develop indices to enable cashmere producers to identify productive goats within their own ...

Genetic Assessment of Derived Growth Curve Parameters in Sonadi Sheep Within a Breeding Flock

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
This study assessed genetic parameters of derived growth curve traits in Sonadi sheep within an organised breeding flock. Retrospective growth data from the Mega Sheep Seed Project (Sonadi Unit) was analysed using advanced growth curve models. Results provide essential genetic insights to enhance selection strategies, productivity, and profitability of

Dendroglyphs, Pictographs and Social Identity in the Wet Tropics Rainforest of Northeastern Australia

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 119-131, July 2025.
ABSTRACT This research examines rock art and dendroglyphs in the Wet Tropics of northeast Australia to investigate their relationship to linguistic social identity. The region was selected for its complex socio‐cultural landscape, marked by a diversity of languages in a distinct, relatively small area.

The allometric relationship between clean mohair growth and the fleece-free liveweight of Angora goats is affected by liveweight change

, 2013
Clean fleece weight (CFWt) is affected by liveweight and change in liveweight in Merino sheep, Angora and cashmere goats. However, how these relationships progress as animals age has not been elucidated. Measurements were made over 12 shearing periods on

Effects of High Dietary Inclusion of Defatted Mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) Meal as a Fish Meal Substitute on Growth, Histological Traits, and Health Performances of Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The digestibility of defatted mealworm (DMW, Tenebrio molitor) and its substitution for fishmeal (FM) in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) diets was determined. In the first trial, a diet with 40% FM was considered as the control (Diet 1), and four other diets replaced 25% (Diet 2), 50% (Diet 3), 75% (Diet 4), and 100% (Diet 5) of FM with DMW. In the
