Title : Basic physiological parameters of the yak and chauri. Material Type: printed text Authors: Paudyal Ram Mani, Author Publisher: Lalitpur : Nepal Animal Science Association Publication Date: 1995 Pagination: 153-159 p. Keywords: Animal products; Research; Fisheries; Pastures; Livestock Abstract: The Yak is an animal with a promising economic future and only domesticated bovine of the high altitude > 300m located within the perimeter of 65-115 Latitude North. It has been endowed physiologically to live even temperature below than 55c with scanty feed resources. Low gestation period (254 days) with less birth weight and small neonatal calf (9.2 kg) is an adaptive measure to the high altitude. Mature body size and productive status of yak in different yak herding countries varies. Small body size (180-390kg) sure footsness, poorly developed sweet-glands, long calving interval (616 days), and a thick layer of sub- cutaneous fat and two type of hairs (coarse and fine) work as an effective insulator against the low temperature are also adaptive measure to the high altitude and cold environment. Good well controlled research data concerning the physiology of the yak is spare and very little research work has been carried out so far to understand the physiological adaptation in high altitude with low temperature, and to improve productivity through scientific breeding and management systems.
