This study was planned to evaluate the influence of selenium (Se) supplementation on growth, production and reproduction in Lakha, Mushki, Peshaweri, and Mianwali varieties of Aseel at Indigenous Chicken Genetic Resource Centre, University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (UVAS), Lahore. The study was comprised of two main experiments. In the 1st experiment, 400 d-old birds, 100/variety (50 males and 50 females) were procured from Avian Research and Training center, UVAS, Lahore. The birds were given an adjustment period of 21 days. From the base population of 400 birds, a total of 240 birds were then selected randomly, divided into 4 groups, 60/variety (30 males and 30 females). The birds of either sex in each group were further subdivided into three treatment groups A, B, and C, 10/treatment. Each treatment was replicated 10 times with one bird/replicate. In this experiment, each bird was regarded as an experimental unit. Groups A and B were experimental, while C was control. Se-enriched yeast (SY) and sodium selenite (SS) were supplemented @ 0.3 ppm (mg/kg) in basal diets of group A and B, respectively, while, group C was fed without additional selenium. Birds were maintained individually in cages under uniform husbandry conditions from 4-21 weeks. Statistical analysis of data through Analysis of Variance procedures in a Randomized Complete Block Design under factorial arrangements and comparison of means through Duncan’s Multiple Range test showed the reduced feed intake, enhanced nutrient utilization for dry matter, crude protein, crude fiber, crude fat and ash; superior feed conversion ratio; higher live final body weight; lower mortality and rearing cost in SY fed birds, especially in the males of Lakha variety than the rest of the treatments. The dietary supplementation with SY increased the values of glucose, triglyceride, globulin, glutathione peroxidase (GPX) in blood serum but decreased the levels of urea, creatinine, uric acid, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total cholesterol, and thyroxin (T4), especially in the birds of Lakha and Peshaweri varieties. Significant variations in slaughtering traits were observed. SY inclusion presented improved live final body weight, dressing weight, dressing%, eviscerated weight, eviscerated% and giblet weight. Selenium accumulation in the chest and thigh muscles was also significantly enhanced, especially in the birds of Lakha and Mushki exposed to SY supplemented diet. This study concluded that SY had a major influence in improving the overall growth performance of indigenous Aseel chicken. In the 2nd experiment, a total of 96 selenium-treated twenty-one-weeks-aged birds (84 females and 12 breeding males) from Lakha, Mushki, Peshaweri and Mianwali varieties of Aseel were selected randomly and distributed into four groups (21 females and 3 breeding males from each variety), subdivided into three treatment groups A, B and C with seven replicates and 7 females and 1 breeding male in each treatment. Each treatment was replicated 7 times with one bird in each replicate. Groups A and B were the experimental, while C was control group. Ration for the birds of group A and B was supplemented @ 0.3 ppm with SY and SS, while group C was fed the ration without Se additional supplement. The birds were maintained separately in battery cages from 22 to 42 weeks. Stud mating system was practiced for breeding by providing access to each of 7 females to respective males in which SY treated males were offered for mating to SY treated females, SS treated males were offered to SS treated females and non-treated males were offered to non-treated females once a week to obtain fertile eggs from hens. Results showed that SY fed Mianwali females exhibited higher feed intake, enhanced body weight and gained sexual maturity earlier, better egg production, higher egg weight and egg mass. FCR/dozen eggs, FCR/kg egg mass were observed higher in Peshaweri. Higher egg Se concentration was recorded in SY fed group compared to SS and control groups. Non-significant variations were observed in Haugh unit scores among all the four varieties. Interaction presented improvement in egg breadth, egg length, egg volume, egg weight, egg shape index, egg shell thickness, yolk index and Huagh unit scores of the eggs in all varieties with significantly higher values in SY-fed Mianwali females. The SY-fed females of Peshaweri showed decreased dead germ%, dead in shell% and clear egg% compared with the females receiving other treatments. Improved hatchability% and hatch of fertile% was also noticed in females of SY-fed group; the highest increase was recorded in Peshaweri. Similarly, superior body weights of the hatched chicks (next progeny) of Peshaweri and Mianwali varieties were detected on SY supplemented ration. It was therefore concluded that SY is the superior supplement that can improve the production and reproduction traits of Aseel as well as assist in manufacturing a quality functional food in the form of Se-enriched eggs.

دنیا نال نہ جانی

دنیا نال نہ جانی

اُٹھ جاگ مسافر دور دیا ، تینوں قافلہ واجاں ماردا اے
اوہ آخر نوں پچھتاوے گا جو ستیاں رین گزاردا اے

ایتھے چار دناں دا واسا اے
اے دنیا کوڑ دلاسا اے
نہ اس گل دا بھرواسا اے
کدوں وجناں سد سرکار دا اے

تیرے محل تے ماڑیاں سجدے نیں
جدوں موت نگارے وجدے نیں
پھر محل ناں چنگے لگدے نیں
ایہہ سب کجھ ہن کس کار دا اے

دھن دولت مال کمایا توں
سوہنے رب نوں دلوں بھلایا توں
ناں درشن یار دا پایا توں
تینوں فکر رہیا گھر بار دا اے

ایس دنیا نال نہ جانا اے
اوتھے کسے نہ دکھ ونڈانا اے
چنگے عملاں ہی کم آنا اے
کر ذکر توں رب غفار دا اے

ایہہ دنیا رنگ برنگی اے
ایہدی ہر دم چال بے ڈھنگی اے
ایتھے رزق دی قادریؔ تنگی اے
کوئی پچھے نہ حال بیمار دا اے

متعہ كی لغوی تحقیق اورشرعی حیثیت تاریخی تناظر میں

This article deals with the issue of temporary marriage or "Mut'a" as is euplicated and regulated by Islamic Shariah in the early days of islam. Since those particular conditions did not prevail later, hence it became redundant. However, the term "Mut'a" has been used in the Holy Qur'an in multiple ways. Our scholarly interest focuses this particular dimension. Moreover a minor segment of Muslims still practice "Mut'a". However, the Sunni Scholars and followers have stopped practised on it. Iran e.g. still follows this temporary mode of marriage (they may opt to do so). However, according to Sunni traditions, this practice has been abolished. Hereby a scholarly investigation is done on "Mut'a", its terminology, its history its background and the particular conditionalities

Virulence Analysis of Puccinia Trlticina Population and Gene Postulation in Current Genotypes of Wheat Against Leaf Rust in P Most An

For the virulence analysis of Puccinia /rilicina population and gene postulation In current genotypes of wheat against rust in Pakistan, two surveys were conducted during 2002·03 and 2003·04 in different districts of Sindh, Balochislan, Punjab and North West Province. The leaf rust incidence in Sindh province ranged from 30·42 percent during 2002·03 with severity ranged from 608·738. While during 2003·04 incidence ranged from 28·40 percent, with severity ranged from 45S· 80S. In Balochistan province one district was surveyed with 35 percent mean incidence and 64S severity during 2002·03 whilc 20 percent incidence with 40S severity was observed during 2003·04. In Punjab incidence ranged from 21·37 percent with mean severity 60S during 2002·03, whereas, incidence ranged from 20-42 percent with severity during 2003·04. In North West Province incidence ranged from 10·15 percent with mean severity 308 during 2002·03, while, incidence of I percent with mean severity 408 during 2003·04 was Oh''''''''MJM The virulence frequency in 2002·03 and 2003·4 was found in Pakistan for the genes Lr2a, Lr2b, Lr2c, Lr3, Lr3ka, Lr3bg, LrlO, Lrll, Lr14a, Lr14b, Lr15, 7, Lr18, Lr20, I, Lr23, Lr26, Lr30, Lr32, Lr33, Lr35, Lr37, LrB and Lr27+31. The virulence analysis of resistance genes in 8indh, Baluchistan, Punjab and NWFP during 2002·03 and 2003·04 showed virulence frequency 0·20 percent having the genes Lr9, Lrl9, Lr34 with the difference of genes Lr34 in Punjab only. The virulence frequencies different provinces viz. 8indh, Baluchistan, Punjab and NWFP for the Lrl, Lr2a, Lr2b, Lr2c, Lr3, Lr3ka, Lr3bg, LrlO, Lrll, Lrl3, Lrl4a, Lrl4b, Lrl5, Lr18, Lr20, Lr21, Lr23, Lr24, Lr25, Lr26, Lr27+31, Lr30, Lr32,Lr33, XII Lr35, Lr37 and LrB fell in the range of 51-100 percent. Among commercial varieties only the MaxiPak showed susceptibility at all the locations during 2002-03 and 2003- 04. A total of II genes, Lri (in 12 lines), Lr3 (4), Lr9 (2), LrlO (28), Lrl3 (27), Lrl4a (2), Lrl6 (9), Lrl7 (8), Lr23 (18), Lr26 (36), Lr27+31 (5) for leaf rust resistance were postulated either singly or in combination in 76 Pakistani wheats. Lr26 was the most frequent by Lr9 among the Pakistani wheats.
