... sampling was used for selecting the study subjects. The study identified 60 cases of udder edema, predominantly in the Beetal breed, suggesting a breed-specific predisposition. Age was a significant factor, with most cases occurring in goats aged between 3.6 and 6 years. Bilateral udder involvement was more common, seen in 44 cases. The study also found a significant correlation between the condition and specific dietary elements, notably the use of wheat str...

...e characteristics, and selecting eligible parent lines for hybridization purposes utilizing principal component analysis and Ward’s clustering. Correlation assessment revealed a negative relationship between disease parameters and grain yield. According to the principal component analysis, three of the nine main components were significant (eigenvalues > 1) and accounted for 44.60%, 15.30%, and 13.60%, respectively of the total variance. PC1 comprised...

...xtreme weather events, selecting appropriate varieties of Yardlong bean (Vigna unguiculata) can help ensure proper yield even under stressful conditions, particularly in saline conditions. However, choosing the right variety is a challenge. In 2019, a field trial was conducted at Nobogram Farm in Noakhali, Bangladesh to evaluate the performance of local and exotic varieties of Yardlong bean under saline conditions. The experiment involved seven traits, includi...
