freemartinism in other species

[Sir Loin]

OK!
We all have seen double yoked eggs, so does freemartinism also occur in chickens?

And thanks Bama and msscamp. Really appreciate your comments.

Take care!

Simply stating facts. ;-) You too! How is school going? What have you taught your instructors so far?

:lol: School's going wonderfully. Just 13 days left 'til I see my herd and family again.

Haven't taught my instructors a thing, LOL... they've forgotten more than I'll ever know. For instance, my biology teacher is also a (human) doctor at the local hospital. He's sure taught us a LOT in that class. :nod:

MM,
Re:

I said nothing about deer.

Occasionally a doe is born that cannot become pregnant.

Makes a person wonder if you even have any idea what a deer IS.
Have a nice night!

The whole subject of freemartinism and an animal not breeding may not have anything to do with one another. A freemartin has a male chromosome that it gets when the fluids co-mingle early in gestation. Just because a female of any species doesn;t breed doesn;t mean that she carrys the oddball chromosome. There are too many other reasons why she may not be fertile. UC Davis can run a blood test (actually they have it done by an outside lab) that weill detect the chromosome. My old mentor used to refer to "functional freemartins". Those were heifers that weren't born twin to a bull but still didn;t settle for one reason or another.

:roll: Go back and read the entire post, young'un. A female deer is not the only mammal known as a doe. The context of that source is specifically discussing GOATS.

FYI, female rabbits are also known as does.

Sir Loin?

How long have you been on this forum??

FYI Milkmaid is to be revered, hahaha. I have learned more from her than I have from a lot of other people. And she is always more than willing to answer the stupid questions inexperienced me has. I do not see your need to try to prove her wrong...

That is wonderful - on both counts!

I wouldn't count on that! :lol:

Good deal! I'm so glad that everything is going well for you!

Then you obviously didn't read this entire topic.
She asked for it, so I gave it to her.
It all boils down to her disrespectful arrogant attitude, which I don't tolerate from anyone.
Case closed.

Let's try this again.

I know from experience that it doesn't happen in goats, but I'm not sure of the science behind it.

Different Placentas

sorry I meant totally different w/ no mixed antigens
should have elaborated

This website is very interesting for those intereted in learning more. http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/genetics/medgen/chromo/mosaics.html

Sir Loin,to be respected,you must also be respectful..
Honestly,I don't think you have been respectful to anyone who disagrees with you.. You seem to be spoiling for a battle of wits..Too bad you're unarmed..

Thanks, ya'll. What a wealth of information. I enjoyed the friendly banter, too.
Too bad freemartinism doesn't affect cats. I love 'em but but by the time the people from town drop theirs off for us, a few can soon become too many!

Ligers can have kittens!!!!! :shock: At least that's what one site said.. So what would those be called? :roll: :?

Probably cubs since the young of both lions and tigers are called cubs.
