Microbial nitrogen production, nitrogen balance and excretion of urinary purine derivatives in Corriedale ewes under water deprivation [PDF]
The objective of this study was to determine microbial N production, and urinary excretion of PDs in Corriedale ewes under water deprivation. Nine Corriedale ewes (average BW=45±4.5 kg) were individually fed diets based on maintenance requirements in ...

There is large variation in genetic parameters in literature for growth traits in sheep, so aggregation of different studies results by meta‐analysis can improve reliability of estimated parameters. A meta‐analysis with 221 articles was carried out. Decrease in Standard errors could indicate that aggregation of results of different studies improved ...

Evaluation of the Crossbreeding Scheme and Farmers’ Perception of Awassi and Dorper Crossbred Sheep
The objectives of this study were to characterize the performance of crossbred sheep and crossbreeding scheme and to solicit farmers’ opinions about crossbred sheep. A total of 238 respondents were selected from five districts and data were collected through a personal interview, focus group discussion, measurement of animals, and field observation ...

Study aimed to examine the influence of gender on carcass traits and meat quality of Romanov breed lambs. Lamb gender had a significant influence on several carcass traits, 10‐heptadecenoic, linoleic, and total polyunsaturated fatty acids profile. Male meat had a significantly higher lightness, lower redness, and higher values of pH and cooking loss. A

Principal Component Analysis for Body Weight Prediction of Corriedale Ewes from Southern Peru
| We aimed to verify the relationship between body measurements (BM) and body weight as well as to investigate the prediction of live weight (LW) by using original BM and principal component scores of Corriedale ewes.

Abstract Nitrogen (N) cycling in rangeland soils could potentially be controlled by water supply, stocking rates, or a range of other variables, such as ecosystem N stocks. To gauge the relative importance and elucidate possible interactions among these factors, we measured many abiotic variables to identify first‐order controls of δ15N for Patagonia's

Traumatic myiasis is highly prevalent in flocks from southeastern Spain; Wohlfahrtia magnifica was identified in all of the positive animals except one that was infested by Lucilia sericata. Adults and males showed higher infestation risk than juveniles and females, respectively; the existence of lambing buildings, poor husbandry facilities and the ...
