Classfication and Evolution of HLH Family Members in Poultry Genome

2009 WRI World Congress on Computer Science and Information Engineering, 2009
Based on the amino acid sequence of bHLH-zip motif in SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 in Landes goose obtained by gene cloning, the sequences of HLH family members in poultry genome were screened in the Protein Databases of NCBI. The classification and evolution of HLH protein family in poultry genome were analyzed. HLH protein family in poultry genome are divided

A move from subsistence to semi-commercial family poultry farming with local chickens: effective strategies for family poultry in Bangladesh

World's Poultry Science Journal, 2009
A study of indigenous Bangladesh chickens under village conditions showed that these birds typically lay 3 clutches of eggs and produce on an average 46 eggs per year, and hens need 105-140 days to complete a production cycle. Mortality of scavenging chicks averaged 57% up to three months of age. A rural household earns only 3310 BDT (1USD=70 BDT) in a

Coyote Family Spatial Relationships with Reference to Poultry Losses

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1981
Spacing of 19 coyotes (Canis latrans), representing 8 families, and their proximity to 2 turkey production sites (TPS) were studied during summer and fall 1976 and 1977 near Waverly, Nebraska. Sixteen of the 19 coyotes were radio-tagged and toe-clipped; 3 were ear-tagged and toe-clipped.

Genetic heterogeneity of residual variance within families for body weight in poultry

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2005
In classical quantitative genetic models, phenotypic value depends on genotype, but phenotypic variation among individuals of the same genotype is assumed to be the same for all genotypes. ANOVA and other statistical tests are underpinned by the assumption of a multivariate normal distribution with homogenous variances and independent normally ...
