The best breed of fowl for egg production is White Leghorn.
It is a breed of chicken originating in Tuscany, in central Italy. Birds were first exported to North America in 1828 from the Tuscan port city of Livorno, on the western coast of Italy.
Leghorns are good layers of white eggs, laying an average of 280 per year and sometimes reaching 300 - 320, with a weight of at least 55 g. White Leghorns have been used to create highly productive egg-laying hybrids for commercial and industrial operations.

The zoological name of sheep is Ovis aries.
Sheep or domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are domesticated, ruminant mammals typically kept as livestock. Although the term sheep can apply to other species in the genus Ovis, in everyday usage it almost always refers to domesticated sheep.
These are relatively small ruminants, usually with crimped hair called wool and often with horns forming a lateral spiral. Sheep are an important part of the global agricultural economy.

Distal intestinal obstruction in bullock is diagnosed by per rectal examination.
Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS) involves obstruction of the distal part of the small intestines by thickened intestinal content and occurs in about 20% of mainly adult individuals with cystic fibrosis.
A complete history and physical examination can be suggestive, especially if a palpable mass in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen is present. Ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) imaging of the abdomen can confirm the diagnosis by demonstrating dilated loops of intestine with material in the intestinal lumen with bubbles.

Saanen breed is native to Switzerland.
The Saanen originates in the historic region of Saanen and the neighbouring Simmental, both in the Bernese Oberland, in the southern part of the Canton of Bern, and western Switzerland.
It has white skin and a short white coat; some small pigmented areas may be tolerated. It may be horned or hornless, and tassels may be present.
The Saanen is the most productive milk goat in Switzerland, which has the most productive milking goats in the world.

Rickets is due to deficiency of Vitamin D.
Rickets is a condition that results in weak or soft bones in children and is caused by either dietary deficiency or genetic causes. Symptoms include bowed legs, stunted growth, bone pain, large forehead and trouble sleeping.
The most common cause of rickets is a vitamin D deficiency. This can result from eating a diet without enough vitamin D, dark skin, too little sun exposure, exclusive breastfeeding without vitamin D supplementation, celiac disease, and certain genetic conditions.

The zoological name of buffalo is Bubalus bubalis. It is a large bovid originating in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.
Carl Linnaeus first described the genus Bos and the water buffalo under the binomial Bos bubalis in 1758; the species was known to occur in Asia and was held as a domestic form in Italy.
In March 2003, the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature achieved consistency in the naming of the wild and domestic water buffaloes by ruling that the scientific name Bubalus arnee is valid for the wild form.

Mule is the cross of Mare × Ass.
The mule is a domestic equine hybrid between a donkey and a horse. It is the offspring of a male Ass (a jack) and a female horse (a mare).
A female mule that has oestrus cycles, and so could, in theory, carry a foetus, is called a "molly" or "Molly mule", although the term is sometimes used to refer to female mules in general. A male mule is properly called a "horse mule".

D sugars and L amino acids are common in nature.
D- and L- is a way of describing the absolute configuration of molecules that pre-date the (R, S) CIP system. D- and L-is an old but still-convenient shorthand for saying that molecules are enantiomers.
These compounds are called R and S enantiomers (or isomers). However, when amino acids or sugars are chiral, scientists call them D and L isomers. D- means “right-handed” and L- means “left-handed.”

Rhode Island Red is native to England.
The Rhode Island Red is an American breed of domestic chicken. It is the state bird of Rhode Island.
The Rhode Island Red was developed as a dual-purpose breed, to provide both meat and eggs. The colour of the plumage of the traditional Rhode Island red ranges from a lustrous deep pink to almost black; the tail is mostly black. The comb may be either single or rose-comb; it is vivid red, as are the earlobes and wattles.

Average period of lactation in buffalo is 281 days.
The lactation length is about 280 - 300 days in the Murrah breed and about 320 days in the Nili-Ravi breed.
Milk yields range from 1500 to 1800 kg for the first lactation with a steady increase to a peak in the fourth lactation, and are then maintained at peak levels until the ninth lactation.
