Triplet lambs and their dams – a review of current knowledge and management systems

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 399-437, December 2019., 2019
ABSTRACT Triplet‐bearing ewes and their lambs have the potential to improve flock productivity however, the lack of robust information on optimal nutrition and management is limiting their performance. In comparison to twins, the triplet lamb is; lighter, more metabolically challenged, has lower body temperature, and receives less colostrum and milk ...

Innate Immune Responses Associated with Resistance against Haemonchus contortus in Morada Nova Sheep

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
The immune response against Haemonchus contortus infections is primarily associated with the Th2 profile. However, the exact mechanisms associated with increased sheep resistance against this parasite remains poorly elucidated. The present study is aimed at evaluating mediators from the innate immune response in lambs of the Morada Nova Brazilian breed
