The present study was performed to validate the association of c.746A>G SNP of BMPR1B gene with litter size trait in different sheep populations of Bangladesh. A total of 192 blood samples were collected from ewes of both farmers’ and institutional flocks comprising sheep populations of Jamuna River Basin (JRB), Barendra (BAT), Coastal (COR), Garole (GAR) and Muzaffarnagari (MUZ). Genotyping of the individuals was performed using PCR-RFLP method and single marker association analysis was carried out to evaluate the relationships between resultant genotypes and litter size trait using agricolae and pastecs packages of R software. The prolificacy attributed homozygous FecBBB genotype frequencies were 66, 50 and 55%, respectively in JRB, BAT and GAR populations whereas it was only 0-2% in MUZ and COR populations. Association analysis revealed highly significant (P<0.001) association of litter size trait with genotypes and populations. The mean litter sizes of JRB, BAT, GAR, COR and MUZ were 2.17±0.15, 1.88±0.07 1.90±0.10, 1.12±0.03 and 1.02±0.02, respectively. The prolific JRB, BAT, GAR ewes produced 0.67 to 0.83 more lambs per lambing than their wild type FecB++ counterparts. Thus, this study validated the potential contribution of the investigated c.746A>G SNP that could be applied in marker assisted selection (MAS) program for identifying high prolific ewes in order to improve litter size trait at the population level

A total of 1070 eggs were collected from Indigenous chicken and 628 chicks were hatched artificially thereof. Fertility (%), hatchability (%) and mortality (%) of eggs were 70.81, 77.52 and 19.63, respectively. Male birds were found heavier than the female birds and artificially hatched birds grown better up to 11 weeks of age. The coal brooding system was superior to electric and natural brooding. Hand mixed feed gave better growth of birds than commercial feed and scavenging feed resources. Better growth of farm 2 was observed and which might be indicative that replication of management system of farm 2 could be good for other farmers to get better chick growth. Batch, farm, brooding system and feeding system were found to contribute significant (p<0.05) differences in the body weight of indigenous birds at various weeks of their age. These results indicated that standardization of management practices would be required before using mini incubator for hatching Indigenous chicken eggs with commercial motive in rural areas of Bangladesh.

A large number of indiscriminate research reports on BBG have been published; however, the review on the productive and reproductive performances with different physiological features of BBG in Bangladesh is scarce. This review was conducted to investigate and summarize the available research reports on BBGs to highlight the gaps and provide coherent recommendations for the future research plan for sustainable BBG production in Bangladesh. It covers research works in morphometric features, feeding and nutrition, reproduction, diseases and health management, husbandry practices, and production performances of BBG under local conditions. Due to the contemporary increased demand for animal protein (meat and milk), the scope of small ruminants, especially goat farming, increases with other large ruminants farming. The key constraints of BBG production in Bangladesh include higher disease prevalence with low or no management practices, kid mortality, inadequate feeds and fodder supply, and poor marketing channel with some other stumpy genetic potentialities (slower body weight gain, low milk production) of this goat. Future research would be required to assess the contribution of BBG to household economies and food securities throughout the year and evaluate the constraints, adaptation and extension of artificial insemination (AI), and genetic improvement of economically important traits using molecular techniques and the selective breeding program.

A total of 1070 eggs from Indigenous chicken were collected in 4 batches and 628 chicks were hatched artificially. Data were recorded on fertility, hatchability, body weight of chicks from week 1 (BWWK1) to week 17 (BWWK17). Least square means were obtained using SAS GLM and mean comparisons were performed with Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Fertility (%), hatchability (%) and mortality (%) of indigenous chicken eggs were 70.81, 77.52, 19.63, respectively. Comparable fertility and hatchability of Indigenous chicken eggs were found in this study. Body weight of male birds at third, fifth, seventh, eighth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth weeks were significantly higher than females as expected. Male birds were found heavier than the female birds in this study and artificially hatched birds grew better up to 11 weeks of age. The coal brooding system was superior to electric and natural brooding. Hand mixed feed gave better growth of birds than commercial feed and scavenging feed resources. Better growth of farm 2 was observed and replication of management system of farm 2 could be advised for other farmers to get a better growth.

This review was designed to explore and summarize the available research reports on indigenous sheep to highlight the gaps and provide an updated database for the future research plan for sustainable native sheep production in Bangladesh. It covers studies on sheep biodiversity, their adaptability to the local environment, morphometric features, feeding and nutrition, reproduction and production performances, diseases and health management, and the problems and prospects of sheep farming in Bangladesh. Due to the increased demand for animal protein, especially red meat, the scope of sheep farming increases along with that of other large and small ruminants. The vital constraints of sheep production in Bangladesh include insufficient feed and fodder supply with its high prices, higher disease occurrence with low or no management practices, kid mortality, and a poor marketing channel with the lower popularity of sheep meat than goat meat. Future research would be a prerequisite to measuring the impact of native sheep on household economies and food security during the year, evaluating the other challenges, and finding out the possible interventions in the fields of nutrition, reproduction, and health management.

A total of 1070 eggs from Indigenous chicken were set and 628 chicks were hatched. Data were recorded on hatching performance and body weight of chicks from week 1 (BWWK1) to week 15 (BWWK15). The non-genetic factors considered were sex, batch, farm, brooding system and feeding system. Least squares means for fertility (%), hatchability (%) and mortality on hatching day (%) of eggs were 70.81, 77.52, and 19.63, respectively. Body weight of male and female birds at 1 st , 3 rd , 5 th , 7 th , 9 th ,11 th , 13 th and 15 th weeks of age were 45.97 and 38.44 g, 129.36 and 104.94 g, 266.82 and 213.92 g, 453.93 and 390.72 g, 470.58 and 394.75 g, 614.60 and 489.48 g, 693.72 and 462.77 g, 833.94 and 650.77 g, respectively. Artificially hatched birds gained better body weight than the naturally hatched birds up to 11 weeks of age. The coal brooding system was superior to electric and natural brooding. Hand mixed feed gave better growth of birds than commercial feed and scavenging feed resources. Better growth of birds in farm 2 was observed suggesting replication of management system of farm 2 to get better growth. Further, batch, farm, brooding system and feeding system were found to contribute significant (p<0.05) differences in the body weight at various weeks of their age. These results indicated due adjustment of non-genetic management systems for obtaining better growth performance of Indigenous chicken to enhance commercialization of the indigenous chicken flocks in rural areas of the country.

Nonetheless, a comprehensive review of reproductive and productive performances, as well as their various morphometric physiognomies and climate resilience capabilities, is lacking. This review was designed to explore and summarize the available research reports on indigenous sheep to highlight the gaps and provide an updated database for the future research plan for sustainable native sheep production in Bangladesh. It covers studies on sheep biodiversity, their adaptability to the local environment, morphometric features, feeding and nutrition, reproduction and production performances, diseases and health management, and the problems and prospects of sheep farming in Bangladesh. Due to the increased demand for animal protein, especially red meat, the scope of sheep farming increases along with that of other large and small ruminants. The vital constraints of sheep production in Bangladesh include insufficient feed and fodder supply with its high prices, higher disease occurrence with low or no management practices, kid mortality, and a poor marketing channel with the lower popularity of sheep meat than goat meat. Future research would be a prerequisite to measuring the impact of native sheep on household economies and food security during the year, evaluating the other challenges, and finding out the possible interventions in the fields of nutrition, reproduction, and health management.

A large number of indiscriminate research reports on BBG have been published; however, the review on the productive and reproductive performances with different physiological features of BBG in Bangladesh is scarce. This review was conducted to investigate and summarize the available research reports on BBGs to highlight the gaps and provide coherent recommendations for the future research plan for sustainable BBG production in Bangladesh. It covers research works in morphometric features, feeding and nutrition, reproduction, diseases and health management, husbandry practices, and production performances of BBG under local conditions. Due to the contemporary increased demand for animal protein (meat and milk), the scope of small ruminants, especially goat farming, increases with other large ruminants farming. The key constraints of BBG production in Bangladesh include higher disease prevalence with low or no management practices, kid mortality, inadequate feeds and fodder supply, and poor marketing channel with some other stumpy genetic potentialities (slower body weight gain, low milk production) of this goat. Future research would be required to assess the contribution of BBG to household economies and food securities throughout the year and evaluate the constraints, adaptation and extension of artificial insemination (AI), and genetic improvement of economically important traits using molecular techniques and the selective breeding program.

A total of 1070 eggs from Indigenous chicken were set and 628 chicks were hatched. Data were recorded on hatching performance and body weight of chicks from week 1 (BWWK1) to week 15 (BWWK15). The non-genetic factors considered were sex, batch, farm, brooding system and feeding system. Least squares means for fertility (%), hatchability (%) and mortality on hatching day (%) of eggs were 70.81, 77.52, and 19.63, respectively. Body weight of male and female birds at 1 st , 3 rd , 5 th , 7 th , 9 th ,11 th , 13 th and 15 th weeks of age were 45.97 and 38.44 g, 129.36 and 104.94 g, 266.82 and 213.92 g, 453.93 and 390.72 g, 470.58 and 394.75 g, 614.60 and 489.48 g, 693.72 and 462.77 g, 833.94 and 650.77 g, respectively. Artificially hatched birds gained better body weight than the naturally hatched birds up to 11 weeks of age. The coal brooding system was superior to electric and natural brooding. Hand mixed feed gave better growth of birds than commercial feed and scavenging feed resources. Better growth of birds in farm 2 was observed suggesting replication of management system of farm 2 to get better growth. Further, batch, farm, brooding system and feeding system were found to contribute significant (p<0.05) differences in the body weight at various weeks of their age. These results indicated due adjustment of non-genetic management systems for obtaining better growth performance of Indigenous chicken to enhance commercialization of the indigenous chicken flocks in rural areas of the country.

A total of 1070 eggs from Indigenous chicken were collected in 4 batches and 628 chicks were hatched artificially. Data were recorded on fertility, hatchability, body weight of chicks from week 1 (BWWK1) to week 17 (BWWK17). Least square means were obtained using SAS GLM and mean comparisons were performed with Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Fertility (%), hatchability (%) and mortality (%) of indigenous chicken eggs were 70.81, 77.52, 19.63, respectively. Comparable fertility and hatchability of Indigenous chicken eggs were found in this study. Body weight of male birds at third, fifth, seventh, eighth, eleventh, twelfth and thirteenth weeks were significantly higher than females as expected. Male birds were found heavier than the female birds in this study and artificially hatched birds grew better up to 11 weeks of age. The coal brooding system was superior to electric and natural brooding. Hand mixed feed gave better growth of birds than commercial feed and scavenging feed resources. Better growth of farm 2 was observed and replication of management system of farm 2 could be advised for other farmers to get a better growth. Batch, farm, brooding system and feeding system were found to be contributed to significant
(P<0.05) differences in the body weight of birds at various weeks of their age. These results indicated that standardization of the management systems is required before implementation of mini hatcheries for incubation of Indigenous chicken eggs in rural areas of Bangladesh.
