Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Livestock production contributes largely to climate change and methane (CH4) from enteric fermentation is the primary greenhouse gas emitted from ruminants. Thus, developing effective strategies to reduce the impact of ruminant production on the environment is crucial, and the combination of CH4 mitigating agents may be a viable ...

The plasticisation model of dye diffusion: Part 6
Coloration Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Previously published data reported for the temperature dependency of the exhaustion of a mordant dye and acid dye, as well as both the exhaustion and fixation of a reactive dye and adsorption of a direct dye, on three different types of wool substrate, over a diverse range of dyeing temperatures and conditions, were re‐evaluated using the ...

Reproductive Seasonality of Corriedale Rams under Extensive Rearing Conditions [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1997 The objective of the present study was to describe seasonal changes in scrotal circumference (SC), live weight (LW), sperm morphology and plasma levels of testosterone (T) and thyroxine (T4) in young Corriedale rams reared under extensive conditions typical for the southern Latin American region. A total of 31 Corriedale rams, 11 months of age and with

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 102, Issue 12, Page 605-615, December 2024.Background The level and cause of ewe mortality over the peri‐parturient period is poorly understood in Australia. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of peri‐parturient ewe mortality and investigate the causes of death in commercial, non‐Merino ewes over the peri‐parturient period.

Effects of non-genetic factors on growth traits and age at first lambing in Corriedale sheep
Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020 Data pertaining to Corriedale sheep (4,367 birth records) spanning over a period of 25 years from 1989 to 2013 was analyzed with the Mixed Model Least Square and Maximum Likelihood algorithms to assess fixed effects of year, sex, type of birth and age of

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 636-649, December 2019., 2019 Abstract Droughts in southern South America affect grazing systems in many ways. They reduce biomass productivity; decrease livestock feed intake, weight and reproductive performance; increase farmers’ costs; and reduce farm income. It was hypothesized that simple grazing management variables affect the resilience of grazing systems to droughts at the ...

Insights into the influence of diet and genetics on feed efficiency and meat production in sheep
Animal Genetics, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 20-46, February 2024.Abstract Feed costs and carcass yields affect the profitability and sustainability of sheep production. Therefore, it is crucial to select animals with a higher feed efficiency and high‐quality meat production. This study focuses on the impact of dietary and genetic factors on production traits such as feed efficiency, carcass quality, and meat quality.
