The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
In vivo derived (IVD) and in vitro produced (IVP) embryo transfers are respectively the 2nd and 3rd generations of the reproductive biotechnologies. Commercial application of these technologies began in the seventies for the former and in the eighties for the latter. After 40 years, they have clearly proved their sustainability to the livestock industry. The present article deals with bovine embryos only.

Bovine And Ovine Schistosomiasis: Prevalence And Associated Host Factors In Selected Sites Of South Achefer District, Northwest Ethiopia, Yirsaw Kerie, Zewdu Seyoum
The Thai Journal of Veterinary Medicine
Schistosomiasis is a snail-borne trematode infection in man and animals in tropical and subtropical countries. It is an economically important disease caused by several Schistosoma species and results in economic losses through mortality and morbidity from severe infection and from long-term effect of moderate- and long-standing chronic infection. This study was conducted from November 2013 to April 2014 to determine the prevalence and potential host-related risk factors of bovine and ovine schistosomiasis in selected sites of South Achefer district, northwest Ethiopia. About 532 faecal samples were collected from randomly selected cattle and sheep from three purposively selected peasant associations. The …
