Population Structure of the Sahiwal Breed in Pakistan

Animal Science, 1995
AbstractThe present study was undertaken to assist conservation and improvement schemes in the Sahiwal breed of cattle in Pakistan. A data set, consisting of records of 244 pure Sahiwal breeding bulls and 5247 cows, the latter representing about 80% of all recorded Sahiwal cows in Pakistan born during a period covering about 20 years, was analysed with

Comparison of chromosomal architecture of Sahiwal and crossbred Sahiwal cattle

Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2016
The karyological investigation using 16 purebred Sahiwal and 16 Jersey X Sahiwal cattle (8 males and 8 females of each genetic group) revealed the diploid chromosome number to be 60. All the 29 pairs of autosomes were acrocentric, while the X – chromosome was sub-metacentric in both the genetic groups.

Effect of diet on preweaning performance of Sahiwal calves

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2011
The objective was to study the growth potential of Sahiwal calves given milk or milk replacer with or without concentrates. For this purpose, forty-eight Sahiwal calves were divided into four groups of 12 animals each with equal sex ratio. In each group, the calves were offered either milk or a milk replacer (MR) at a rate of 10% of their body weight ...

Seasonal assessment of mastitis using thermogram analysis in Sahiwal cows

Research in Veterinary Science, 2023
"India is the world's leading producer of milk" and demands a non-invasive diagnostic tool like infrared thermography (IRT) to identify the costliest production disease, mastitis. It can form the basis of precision dairy farming. Therefore, the present study focuses on thermal imaging of the udder and teat quarters of Sahiwal cows during different ...

Diet-induced modulation of pharmacokinetics of albendazole in Sahiwal cattle

Journal of Helminthology, 2015
AbstractThe influence of diet type and pre-treatment fasting on the kinetic disposition of albendazole was evaluated in Sahiwal heifers following oral and intra-ruminal administration of the drug. The anthelmintically active moiety albendazole sulphoxide appeared early and was eliminated early in cattle offered green fodder, with decreased maximum ...

Effect of age and season on semen quality parameters in Sahiwal bulls

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2011
The objective of the study was to determine the effect of season, period, age, bull, and ejaculate on semen quality in Sahiwal bulls. Semen production records from 1996 to 2006 of 5,483 ejaculates from 46 Sahiwal bulls maintained at Artificial Breeding Complex, NDRI, Karnal, India were analyzed using least square analysis of variance by LSML software ...

Population structure and demographic trends of the registered Sahiwal cattle in Kenya

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2016
Sahiwal cattle breed is an important genetic resource that supports livelihoods of pastoralists in Kenya. However, information about its population structure, demographic trends, and genetic diversity is scarce. The objective of this study was to characterize the population structure, explore demographic trends, and evaluate genetic diversity ...

A demand analysis for Sahiwal breeding animals from the national sahiwal stud (NSS) between 1971 and 2007 [PDF]

, 2012
The main objective of this working paper is to trace the development of demand for Sahiwal breeding stock over the period 1971-2007. Such an analysis will enhance our understanding of what has happened on the demand side within the study period. There is only a handful of Sahiwal breeding farms existing in the country, which implies that a particular ...

Genetic analysis of growth performance of Sahiwal cows

Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2014
In the present investigation, genetic analysis for early growth traits of Sahiwal cows were performed using mixed linear model. The overall least squares means for body weights at birth (BW), 6 (W6), 12 (W12), 18 (W18), 24 (W24), 42(W30) months and weight at first service (WFS) were 20.59±0.27, 82.29±2.64, 136.98±3.26, 204.83±2.77, 252.27±3.24, 314.16 ...
