Sayyed; M.S. Phulan; W.M. Bhatti; M. Pardehi; Shamsher Ali Abstract: Research was conducted on 400 guts of commercial layers collected from various shops at District Swat during April to September 1998. Out of 400 guts, 36 per cent were positive for nematodes, Mixed infestation of nematodes and cestodes was found in 4.75 per cent layers. Incidence rate of Ascaridia galli, Heterakis gallinarum and Subulura brumpli was 25.75, 8.25 and 2 per cent, respectively. 2000-04-14T00:00:00Z http://localhost:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/18174 Title: EFFECT OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF HIMAX BS-7 (SODIUM BENTONITE) ON THE PERFORMANCE OF COMMERCIAL LA YERS Authors: Nasir Ali Tauqir; Zafar lqbal Chughtai; Zaheen Akhtar Farooqi Abstract: Ninety layers chicks of White Leghorn (commercial Babcock 40 weeks old) were employed for this study to determine the effect of sodium bentonite on the performance of adult layers. The birds were fed commercial layer ration without or with supplementation of sodium bentonite at the rate of 1.0 and 1.5 per cent. Results indicated that sodium bentonite feeding significantly improved egg production, feed intake and feed conversion efficiency when added in the layer's diets. 2000-04-13T00:00:00Z http://localhost:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/18173 Title: EXERTIONAL RHABDOMYOLYSIS IN A DEER Authors: Z.I.

Chaudhry Abstract: Behaviour of lactation length in Nili-Ravi buffaloes and its relationship with other economic traits was studied using 2704 lactations of 993 buffaloes. Lactations shorter than eight weeks were not included in the data set. About 59% of the lactations had length shorter than the standard lactation of 10 months. Lactation length averaged 289.5 days for an average milk yield of 1984 kg. Lactation curves were different for first and later parities with different days in milk. Year effeced (P<0.01) lactation length while season did not. Yet, interaction of year and season was significant (P<0.01). Age at calving within parity also had an effect (P<0.01) with first parity buffaloes having the highest average (280.4+6.25 days). The trait was 25% repeatable. Phenotypic trend in the trait was positive, with least squares means for 1970-71 (227.4+14.03 days) and 1996-97 (300.9+13.86 days) being different by about 10 weeks. Further studies should be carried out to find out causes for this positive trend. 2000-04-10T00:00:00Z
