This article, published by the Taipei Times reveals a bright future for Taiwan’s Koi industry and even said to be challenging the Japanese.
Koi are brightly colored fish that swim in fresh water ponds and park lakes. For further studies, you can view Koi closer by using battery powered microscopes. They adorn hotel gardens and ponds in shopping malls. These koi are not naturally occurring species. In Japan, where they are called nishikigoi, it is a national fish that had been specifically bred from common carp over a century ago. (more…)

Horse Breeding

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

This article describes how horse breeding was used among the Native Indians as a trade. Bear in mind that during that time they didn’t have any special equipment like battery powered microscopes to aid them. At that time battery powered microscopes have not been invented yet, and they solely relied on what the Spaniards taught them about breeding. Nowadays, breeding of horses can be studied closer with the help of these microscopy equipments like the battery powered microscopes. In the past, Native American Indians utilized dogs to bear their goods and load during travel. When the Spanish settlers arrived and introduced horses to the Native Indians, this was the time the Indians had ever seen a horse. In the beginning the Native Indians were afraid of the horses, but in time they were able to ride and handle the animals well. The Spaniards were not allowed to give the Native Indians horses because they were, at the time, slaves, but got around the law and instead gave them horses in order to help them with the work they did. Eventually when the Spaniards left the area, they left behind many horses. These were gathered up by the Native American Indians to use and guide as their own. (more…)

How Equine Genetic Diseases are Inherited

Wednesday, August 8th, 2007

This article explains how genetic diseases are inherited when it comes to equine breeds. The so-called blueprints are present within the horse’s genes, and if viewed and studied under battery powered microscopes consist of deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA, a nucleic acid molecule in the form of a twisted double strand shaped as a double helix that is the major component of chromosomes and carries genetic information. There are two chains that make up this molecule, and contain various nucleotides adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and thymine (T), which are clustered together into sets of three like ACG, CGG or TCA for starters. These groups of three are called codons that when stimulated, produces the code that dictates the production of amino acids. (more…)
