The objectives of the study to compare the growth performance of Deshi, Fayoumi, RIR and Sonali chicken reared under farm and semi scavenging. A total of 288 day-old chicks (72 from Deshi, 72 Fayoumi, 72 RIR and 72 Sonali) were used in this trial for a period of 20 weeks of age with 4 genotypes....

A two-way selection for larval period and the corresponding pre-pupal weight in the housefy, Musca domestica L. was carried out for parental through F16 generations when the traits attained plateaued levels. The high (shorter larval duration) and low (longer larval duration) selection regimes...

Using logistic regression analysis dynamics of the behavioural phase change in the first-instar nymphs of Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål) has been estimated. Insects belonging to two extreme phases were found to behave in a strikingly different manner. Moreover, the solitary-reared nymphs were...

With a view to elucidating the factor(s) responsible for gregarization in locusts, the behavioural and pigmentary characteristics of hatchling Schistocerca gregaria (Forskål) have been quantified using logistic regression analysis and colour scores, respectively. Of the three factors reported...

A total of 100 newly collected dairy cattle (after parturition) of which 20 local and 80 crossbred varieties of mini dairy farms from urban and semi-urban areas of Rajshahi district were selected for the study. They were divided into four groups depending on different feeding practices viz.,...

Single-pair cross mating schedules in Epilachna vigintioctopunctata from three regions of Bangladesh namely Khulna (KHU), Rajshahi (RAJ) and Sylhet (SYL) revealed significant differences for fecundity (P0.01), number of pupae formed, number of adults emerged and female ratio (P0.05) in the...

Cypermethrin-exposed clinical and behavioral signs accompanied by alterations in morphometric parameters in the Swiss albino mice Mus musculus L. were investigated. Twenty five adult male albino mice were divided equally into five groups where each mouse received: 0.10µL distilled water only...

The study was conducted to determine the effect of rearing system and genotypes on carcass characteristics of chicken. Birds under semi-intensive system had free access to outside the house for taking natural feeds and supplement 50g balanced feed per bird per day. Birds were reared intensive...

The behavioural phase state of first-instar desert locusts, Schistocerca gregaria Forskål, was quantified by using logistic regression analysis, following treatments in which the population density experienced by their mother during mating and oviposition was manipulated. Crowding during the...
