Seventy two adult lactating Iraqi buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) were chosen randomly from two regions of Iraq, Baghdad (Abu Ghraib Ruminants Researches Station in the west of Baghdad, Iraq) and AL-Muthanna province (Alhilal township), during 2018/2019 lactating season. The effect of location and parity in the body, udder conformation and milk production traits were studied. The body conformation, body weight, udder measurements, and milk production traits were significant to high significant effected by both the location and the parity except there is the non-significant effect of location on body height at the shoulder, front teat diameter, rear teat length and rear teat diameter. Similarly non-significant effect of parity was observed on front teat diameter, rear teat length, distance between front and rear teats, fat%, lactose%, and SNF%.
The study field was conducted to correlate milk yield with the udder dimensions of buffaloes, during lactate season 2019, a total of 72 lactating buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) were chosen randomly from Baghdad (25 female) and Al-Muthanna province (47 female) (270km south of Baghdad). Parameters such as front teat length (FTL), front teat diameter (FTD), distance between front teats (FTDIS), rear teat length (RTL), rear teat diameter (RTD), distance between rear teats (RTDIS), distance between front and rear teats (FRDIS) and daily milk Yield (DMY) were calculated. Correlation coefficients between various udder measurements (FTL, FTDIS, RTDIS and FRDIS) with DMY were positive and highly significant (P≤0.01). On the other hand FTD, RTL and RTD showed non-significant correlation with DMY. We conclude from this study that udder measurements could be taken into account in buffalo improvement programs.
The study aimed to correlate milk yield with the body dimensions of buffaloes, during lactate season 2019, a total of 25 and 47 lactate buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) were chosen randomly from Baghdad and AL-Muthanna province (270km south of Baghdad) respectively. Parameters such as body weight (BW), heart girth (HG), body length (BDL), body height at shoulder (HAS) and daily milk Yield (DMY) were calculated. Phenotypic correlations were positive and highly significant (P≤0.01) between HG, BDL and BW with DMY, while HAS showed non-significant association with DMY. These results could be helpful in the breeding programs for Iraqi buffaloes
This study was conducted in the Laboratory of Molecular Genetics/Marine Sciences Center/University of Basrah, from 1/1/2019 to 1/1/2020. Tissue samples of Hamri fish were randomly collected from the governorates of Basra (Al-Qurna District) and Dhi Qar (Al-Nasr District). A total samples was 60, including 30 samples from Basra and 30 from Dhi Qar. The results show that the ISSR 12 primer has a genetic morphology 100%, gave the molecular weights in Dhi Qar Governorate (73 and 255) and in Basra Governorate (66, 65). Primer No. (2) also took shape in the province of Dhi Qar (166, 186, 244), and in the province of Basra (194, 237). The primer (ISSR12) gave 8 bundles, with a molecular weight ranging from (73,255) to samples taken from the Dhi Qar and Basra regions. As for the primer (ISSR8).
