A Present Vision for Artificial Insemination of Certain Farm Animals in Egypt

Öz

It is well known that one of the major limitations in the development of farm animals in Egypt is the extremely low reproductive efficiency. As a result, horizontal expansion would be impossible for dairy animals in Egypt. Therefore, such as in developing countries, artificial insemination (AI) programs are one of the most important options for fast development and genetic improvement in animal breeding studies in Egypt. Meanwhile, the proposed genetic improvement of buffalo milk production is being accelerated using an AI network. According to official statistics, Egypt has only two AI centers for selected buffalo sires, serving four AI units. Based on the current status of AI studies of farm animals in Egypt, this review spots light on recent progresses in the breeding of farm animals such as buffalo, camel, sheep, and goat, based on a comprehensive scientific experience of more than a decade to get a better food security in Egypt.

Mısır'da Bazı Çiftlik Hayvanlarında Suni Tohumlamaya Güncel Bir Bakış

Öz

Mısır’da çiftlik hayvanlarının geliştirilmesindeki en büyük sınırlamalardan birinin aşırı düşük üreme verimliliği olduğu iyi bilinmektedir. Bunun bir sonucu olarak Mısır’da süt hayvanı varlığında yatay genişleme imkânsızdır. Bu nedenle, hayvancılığı gelişmiş ülkelerde olduğu gibi, Mısır'da da hayvan yetiştirme çalışmalarında hızlı bir gelişme ve genetik ilerleme için suni tohumlama (ST) programları en önemli seçeneklerden biridir. Halihazırda sütçü mandalar için istenen genetik ilerleme etkili bir ST ağı kullanılarak hızlandırılmaktadır. Resmi istatistiklere göre Mısır, seçilmiş manda boğaları için sadece iki ST merkezine sahip olup bunlar dört ST birimine hizmet vermektedir. Bu derleme, Mısır’da çiftlik hayvanlarında ST çalışmalarının mevcut durumuna dayalı olarak, on yılı aşkın bir süredir manda, deve, koyun ve keçi gibi memeli çiftlik hayvanlarının üreme ve ıslahında kapsamlı bir bilimsel deneyime dayanarak Mısır'da daha iyi bir gıda güvenliği elde etmek için yapılan ve süregelen çalışmalarda kaydedilen ilerleme ile gelecekte yapılacak ya da yapılması gereken ıslah çalışmalarına ışık tutmaktadır.
