ALLEVIATION OF HEAT STRESS IN FARAFRA SHEEP BY DIETARY MINERALS SUPPLEMENTATION
ABSTRACTThirty five Farafra mature ewes aged 2.5 – 3.5 years and averaged 38.8 ± 0.69 kg body weight and fifteen Farafra mature rams aged 2.0-3.0 years and averaged 59.3 ± 1.30 kg body weight were used in this investigation. The experimental animals (rams and ewes) were divided into five equal groups (7 ewes + 3 rams each) as control, 1% sodium bicarbonate (G1), 1% potassium carbonate (G2), 0.5% sodium bicarbonate + 0.5% potassium carbonate (G3) and 1% sodium bicarbonate + 1% potassium carbonate (G4). Blood samples were collected from each animal every 10 days after feeding throughout the experimental period (June to August). Results indicate that dietary electrolyte insignificantly increased blood hemoglobin (Hb) while significantly (P<0.05) decreased blood hematocrit (Ht) in both rams and ewes.
The values of glucose, total protein, sodium and potassium significantly (P<0.05) tended to increase and dietary electrolyte balance DEB values to significantly (P<0.01) increase in both rams and ewes supplemented with salts. Serum urea values were insignificantly increase while serum chloride tended to significantly (P<0.05) decrease in both rams and ewes with salts-fed animals.. Salts supplement led to insignificant increase in serum triiodothironine and thyroxin of rams and ewes. In conclusion, supplementation of some salts (sodium or potassium or both) to the diet of animals during summer (the hot season) led to alleviate heat stress in term of controlling the blood metabolites.

LIFETIME PERFORMANCE TRAITS AND ESTIMATE OF THEIR GENETIC PARAMETERS IN ZARAIBI GOATS
ABSTRACTThis study included data on 626 Zaraibi does, raised at El-Serw station (Damietta Governorate) of the Ministry of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform during the period 1991-2008. Estimates of least squares means per doe of total number of kids born (TNKB), total number of kids weaned (TNKW), total kilograms born (TKGB), total kilograms weaned (TKGW), total milk yield (TMY), weaning weights (WW) and yearling weights (YW) of kids were 5.82, 5.08, 10.90, 56.21, 887.91,10.7 kg and 23.35kg, respectively. The differences between years of birth were significant on TNKB, TKGB, TMY, WW and YW. Season of birth and type of birth had no significant effect on any of lifetime production traits but had significant effect on WW and YW. The effect of age of dam was not significant on any of studied traits. Partial correlation coefficients between all presented traits in this study are positive and ranged from 0.07 to 0.98. Heritability estimates for TNKB, TKGW, TMY and YW ranged from 0.13 to 0.14, from 0.12 to 0.14, 0.11 to 0.14 and 0.29 to 0.32, respectively, while heritability of WW was estimated as 0.10. Genetic correlations between the studied traits were positive except that between WW and each of TKGW and TMY and ranged from high estimate (0.98) between TMY and each of TNKB and TKGW to low estimate (-0.42) between TMY and WW.

PHENOTYPIC AND GENETIC VARIATION IN LAMBS' GROWTH USING LINEAR MODELS
ABSTRACTData used in the present study was collected during 1992 to 2005 for two different sheep breeds, Farafra (2559 records) and Saidi (1539 records). The aim was to determine the efficiency of three Linear models [Linear with two parameters (L1), Linear with three parameters (L2) and second order polynomial (Quadratic) models] to the growth curves of Farafra and Saidi lambs by using monthly records of live weight from birth to 540 days of age. Farafra breed was raised in Mallawi research station and Saidi breed was raised in Seds research station belonging to Animal Production Research Institute (APRI).
The models were evaluated according to coefficient of determination (R2), Akaike's information criterion (AIC) and Schwarz's Bayesian information criterion (BIC). In both breeds, all models fitted the data, with high R2 ranged from 98.7 to 99.5 for males and 98.8 to 99.7 for females. The L1 model gave the best R2 value which was 99.7 in Saidi females, while the Quadratic model gave the lowest R2 value of 98.7 in Farafra males.Absolute Growth Rate (AGR) obtained from L1, L2 and Quadratic models for Farafra were 0.14, 0.13 and 0.10, respectively, while for Saidi were 0.13, 0.12 and 0.10, respectively in the first month and decreased gradually to reach 0.03, 0.04 and 0.04 for Farafra and 0.03, 0.04 and 0.03 for Saidi at 540 days of age, respectively. All growth curve parameters were significantly influenced by sex, type of birth, age of dam, year and season of birth (P<0.01), except the effect of age of dam on parameters B and C in Quadratic model for Saidi sheep that was not significant (P>0.05).
Parameters A, B and C were moderate to highly heritable in Farafra lambs (h2=0.24 to 0.74). Genetic correlations between parameters were all positive and ranged from 0.35 to 1.00. In Saidi lambs, parameters had low to moderate heritabilites (0.01 to 0.48). Genetic correlations between parameters ranged from −0.87 to 1.00.The results of this study suggest that L1 (Y=A+Bt0.5) for growth monitoring can be useful with both breeds under condition of both stations.

FACTORS AFFECTING REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF ZARAIBI GOATS
ABSTRACTA total 4601 records collected from El-Serw experimental station, Animal Production Research Institute, were used to investigate the effect of early growth rate, season of mating and age of doe at kidding on reproductive performance of Zaraibi goats. Data were analyzed using stepwise forward, univariate logistic regression analyses. Goats with birth weight lower than 1.6 kg were likely 1.2 times less to become pregnant (P<0.05) than goats with heavier birth weights. Mid-age does (2 to 6 years) were likely 1.6 times more to become pregnant (P<0.05), compared with either younger does (<2 years) or does aged more than six years. Season of mating can be considered as a significant risk factor for pregnancy rate; goats mated in fall had greater chances of getting pregnant than goats mated in summer. Mid-age does were likely half to abort (P<0.05) when compared with younger or older goats. Goats with the lowest daily gains (<86 g/d−1) were at increased risk of abortion (P < 0.05). The oldest does were likely 70% more having stillbirths than younger and older does (P<0.05). The risk of stillbirth was lower (P < 0.05) in goats less than six years. The risk of stillbirth was also lower in does bred in the fall, as compared with does mated in summer. Goats with the highest body weights at 30d of age had higher odds of multiple births than goats with moderate or low weights at 30d of age. Goats bred in the fall had lower (P<0.05) odds of multiple births than goats mated in summer. The present findings indicate that reproductive success in Zaraibi goats increased with birth weight of doe >1.6 kg, body weight at 30d of age >6 kg, growth rate from birth to 30d of age higher than 150g /d−1, age of doe at kidding not more than six years and breeding in fall.

PERFORMANCE OF GOATS FED RATIONS CONTAINING WHOLE SUNFLOWER SEEDS
ABESTRACTThis study consisted of two major trials, to evaluate milk productin and the other for digestability estimate. Thirty Zaraibi goats of 4-5 years old and 41.041.19 kg average body weight were used for milk production trial while 9 Zaraibi bucks were used for digestability trial. Animals were randomly distributed into three groups and fed ration formulated of 50% concentrate feed mixture and 50% berseem hay. Goats in group 1 acted as a control group (G1) ; goats in group 2 were fed the control group ration but 5% of concentrate mixture was replaced with sunflower seeds (Halianthus annuus) (G2) and goats in group 3 were fed the control ration but 10% of concentrate mixture was replaced with sunflower seeds (G3). The digestion coefficients of DM, CP and NFE are slightly increased by adding sunflower but the differences were not significant among treatment groups. There were no significant differences between groups in ruminal pH, NH3-N and TVFA's values as a result of experimental treatment during the same collected time. Milk yield was higher (p<0.05) in G2 and G3 than in G1 group. Addition of sunflower seeds in the goats rations increased (p<0.05) milk fat, protein and total solids while decreased lactose percent. Addition of 10% sunflower seed showed higher serum total lipid, triglyceride than those of 5% sunflower seed or control with significant differences (P<0.05) during suckling and lactation periods while, The concentration of serum chlesterol was significantly lower in treated groups than control group espesialy with 10 % sunflower. The goats in control group had nearly the same mean serum glucose level compared to the other two groups, while the serum glucose concentration was slightly higher in suckling periob than lactation period in all groups.

EFFECT OF MODIFYNG ROUGHAGE /CONCENTRATE RATIO ON SEMEN QUALITY AND FERTILITY AS AFFECTED BY EXHAUSTIVE EJACULATION IN ZARAIBI BILLY GOATS
ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to determine the effect of a specific proportion of concentrate feed mixture (CFM) to berseem hay (BH) on semen quality, sperm abnormalities and fertility of Zaraibi billy goats during exhaustion test. Six adult billy goats were equally divided into control group (G-A) and treated group (G-B). Semen quality and sperm abnormalities were evaluated with exhaustion test of epididymis (ETE). Semen collected three times daily at one hour interval among ejaculates for three successive weeks. The feeding system for G-A was 700 gm CFM supplemented with 500 gm BH daily / buck, while 500 gm CFM plus 750 gm BH were afforded to G-B daily / head. The fertility test was carried out with 48 healthy and sexual mature Zaraibi nanny goats without any significant difference among them in body weight, age and oestrous period. Nanny goats were divided into two equal groups (n=24) which mated with billy bucks in G-A and G-B. The obtained results show lower semen quality in G-A compared to G-B (P<0.05). Semen-ejaculate volume and sperm concentration in the first ejaculates were significantly (P<0.05) higher than second and third ejaculates. On the contrary, the advanced sperm motility was higher (P<0.05) in second and third ejaculates than the first. Concerning ETE designing, G-A was recorded significantly (P<0.05) higher sperm morphological abnormalities than G-B. The fertility rate was defined significant (P<0.05) higher percentage of nanny goat kided in G-B than G-A. These results suggest that replacing 30% of concentrate with hay could maintain semen quality and fertility of Zaraibi goat bucks after intensity of semen collection by ETE.

CLINICAL MANAGEMENT OF PRE AND POST PARTUM PROLAPSE IN SMALL RUMINANTS USING A MODIFIED VULVAR SUTURE
ABSTRACTEighteen small ruminants presented for the treatment of genital prolapse (uterine, 6 and vaginal, 12) were included in this study. Vaginal prolapses were predominantly observed during gestation (usually advanced stage) and uterine prolapses were following parturition. Highest prevalence of genital prolapse was recorded in goats within their 1st and 3rd parity in winter months. First grade vaginal prolapse could be controlled effectively by exogenous progesterone therapy (@250 mg hydroxyprogesterone i.m. twice a week) with hind quarter elevation of the affected animals. However, Modified Buhner’s suture resulted in persistent retention of the prolapsed parts without causing disfigurement of the vulvar lips in animals suffering from 2nd and 3rd grade vaginal and from uterine prolapse.

TARGETED SELECTIVE TREATMENT OF SHEEP USING THE FIVE POINT CHECK ©
Although the principle of Target Selective Treatment (TST) has becomeaccepted as a valuable tool in reducing the speed of onset of anthelmintic resistance(AR), and a key part of sustainable and holistic integrated management ofparasites(SHIMP), the only practical and proven on–farm method developed to date hasbeen the FAMACHA© system of clinical anaemia evaluation. This by its nature islimited to use in the few haematophagous parasites that cause anaemia, especiallyHaemonchus contortus.The principle of TST can be extended for use against other important internalparasites, provided that the system developed is practical, economical and reasonablyindicative of some form of important parasitism. The candidates for an extended TSTsystem have included nasal discharge (for botfly larvae), ocular mucous membranes foranaemia (for haematophagous worms), submandibular oedema or bottle jaw (forhaematophagous worms and conical fluke), body condition score (for worms causingloss of condition) and faecal fouling or dag score (for worms causing diarrhoea). Eachof these checks have their limitations and problems but for the present they are the onlypractical ways of deciding which animals will benefit from treatment during routineinspection on the farm.
A practical, farmer- friendly guide has been developed to enable users toexamine sheep (or goats) rapidly, make effective assessments, identify the likelyparasites, identify anthelmintic groups that could be used, use practical systems fortemporarily identifying treated animals and to know the limitations of the system. Thesystem has been called the Five Point Check (5•√©) for international, multilingual useand constitutes a further, practical extension of TST. This can make a usefulcontribution to SHIMP. The new system can be summarised in the slogan ―LEAVETHE BEST and TREAT THE REST‖ and has an important shift in emphasis fromidentifying animals that need treatment to identifying those that are unlikely to benefitfrom treatment. Rather than dosing all animals, we advocate ―LOOK BEFORE YOU TREAT".
