    A Retrospective Study of Arabian Stallion Fertility Used in National Stud Farm of Tiaret (West of Algeria)
    (IDOSI Publications, 2018-03-15) HOUSSOU Hind; BOUZEBDA AFRI Farida; BOUZEBDA Zoubir
    The aim of this paper to evaluate the stallion fertility in advance and to aid breeding management. The collection of a historical information about the Arabian stallions adults (n=101) and 495 mares with range age between (8 and 26) years in the national stud farm of Chaouchoua Tiaret. Fertility was measured using three endpoints: foaling rates (FR), percent pregnant per cycle (PC) and percent pregnant per season (PR) during (2003-2013).The pregnant per season rate (PR) was of 84 % The foaling rate (FR) was of 80%, the pregnancy cycle rate (PC) was of 96 % ; a strong correlation existed between the number of mares mated and (PC) (r= -0.59; p<0.01). We conclude that breeding records existed in many forms (foaling, pregnancy per cycle, or per season rates), but there is still a need to develop tests that can predict fertility with a reasonable degree of certainty before the stallion has begun his breeding career.

    Background and Aim: Lice are permanent ectoparasites, extremely specific to their hosts. Their great importance in veterinary medicine remain significant, they can cause their direct pathogenic actions like irritability, dermatitis, anemia, decreased weight gain, and milk production. The purpose of this work was to made the first time an inventory of mammalian lice in North-eastern Algeria. Materials and Methods: Our survey of lice infestation was conducted on several animal species from five provinces of North-eastern Algeria. A total of 57 cattle, 83 sheep, 77 goats, 111 wild boars, and 63 farmyard chickens were examined. The collection of lice was carried out much more in mammals and chickens during the winter period. Lice were collected either manually or using brushing and kept in flasks containing 70% ethanol. The identification of lice was achieved in the laboratory using a binocular loupe. Results: Concerning cattle, 63% and 27% of those examined subjects from Souk-Ahras and Guelma study areas, respectively, were carriers of lice. Damalinia bovis was the louse most frequently found on cattle in these two regions. Three other species were identified in Souk-Ahras: Haematopinus eurysternus (25%), Linognathus vituli (10%), and Solenopotes capillatus (5%). Regarding sheep, 39% and 24% of examined animals in Souk-Ahras and Guelma, were carrying lice. Damalinia ovis was the most frequently encountered lice on sheep in both regions. Linognathus ovillus also was identified in Souk-Ahras, representing 0.3% of the collected lice. Concerning goats, 53% and 30% of examined animals in Souk-Ahras and Guelma, were parasitized of lice. Two species of lice were found: Damalinia caprae and Linognathus africanus. For farmyard chickens, 69% and 100% of the farmyard chicken in Souk-Ahras and Mila were parasitized by lice, respectively. Menopon gallinae was the most frequently encountered louse in farmyard chicken in both regions. Eight other species were identified in Mila and four other species only in Souk-Ahras. Finally, 25% and 28% of the wild boars in Annaba and El Tarf were parasitized by lice, respectively. Haematopinus suis was the only species found on wild boars in both regions. Conclusion: These results are to be taken into account for lice control schemes and louse-borne diseases.
