The overview includes an analysis of the state, trends, and prospects of beekeeping. The article traces the development of the sector in our country and in the European Union over the last 10 years. The number of bee families, the number of beekeeping farms and the amount of honey produced by them are reflected. And also, number of bee families in...

The purpose of the present work was to study the genetic variation in 135 animals from the Bulgarian Rhodope cattle breed raised in the region of Smolyan, Bulgaria. For the purpose of the experiment, a panel of 11 microsatellite markers was used. A total of 113 alleles were identified and 5 of them were determined as populationspecific. The allele...

Karnobat sheep plays an important role in the development of sheep breeding in Southeastern region of Bulgaria. They are valuable source of genetic material. The aim of present experiment was to determine the allele variation of CAST gene in Local Karnobat and Karnobat Merino sheep breeds. A total of 60 blood samples were collected-30 per breed. DN...

Present study was conducted to analyze the blood biochemical parameters of a total 271 Bulgarian Brown Cattle Breed and their calves. We evaluated the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT), alanine ami-notrans-ferase (ALAT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP), albumin (Alb), total protein (TP), creatin-phosphokinase (CPK),...

In this study, short tandem repeat (STR) genotypes of 466 sheep from eleven domestic breeds located in Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America were compared with wild Asian Urial sheep and captive Mouflon type sheep to assess genetic diversity and relationship among them. Analysis of sheep breeds at 19 short tandem repeat (STR) loci revealed higher...

The present study was conducted in order to investigate and identify the allelic variants of myostatin (MSTN) gene associated with meat traits in sheep. Blood samples were taken from a population of 25 animals of Bulgarian breed Karakachan sheep – 22 ewes and 3 rams. Genomic DNA was extracted and myostatin genotypes were estimated by means of PCR a...

Potato viruses cause enormous economic loss in agriculture production. Potatoes can be infected by a number of different viruses that affect negatively the harvest and the tuber quality. Direct and effective drugs against plant virus diseases are still not available and control is only applied as agricultural measures and pesticides against virus v...

Recent advances in molecular technologies provide various approaches for DNA polymorphism studies. There are several marker systems used in animal genetic studies, such as SSRs (microsatellites), AFLPs, VN TRs, RAPD, RFLP, mtDNA and Y-chromosome specific markers. Until recently, the microsatellite DNA marker has been the most widely used, due to it...

Plant biotechnology is modern trend in biology science which develops with quick temps during the last years. The success in the biotechnological researches ensure best possibility to establish new ways, methods, tasks for solving untraditional fundamental and practical tasks in the field of agriculture. Introducing of in vitro culture method in th...

Abstract HRISTOV, H., V. GERZILOV and A. TENEVA, 2004. A study on blood serum protein profiles of pekin, muscovy and mule ducks. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 10: 753-756 The study was carried out on the quantitative record of blood serum protein fractions of 20 female Pekin ducks and 15 Muscovy drakes, local population bread on the poultry farm of the A...

Over the last two decades advances in molecular genetics have introduced a new generation of molecular markers for the genetic improvement of livestock. This study is focused on the most advanced DNA-based molecular markers which have acted as versatile tools and have found their own position in various fields. Ever since their development, they ar...
