Reference writing:

Sort the references by year in descending order. In case of the same year, arrange them alphabetically. Separate multiple references with a semicolon (;), for example, (Schukken et al., 1994; Tummaruk et al., 2001). When there are multiple references by the same author or group in different years, use letters to differentiate and separate them by semicolons (;), e.g., Serenius and Stalder, 2004; 2007). In case of the same author or group in the same year, add respective letters (e.g., a, b) after the year separated by semicolons “;”, e.g., (Department of Livestock Development, 2014a; 2014b).
