A survey of Mycoplasma agalactiaein dairy sheep farms in Spain [PDF]
BMC Veterinary Research, 2012 Abstract Background Contagious Agalactia (CA) is one of the major animal health problems in small ruminants because of its economic significance. Currently, four Mycoplasma spp. have been associated with this syndrome: M. agalactiae, M. mycoides subsp. capri, M. capricolum subsp. capricolum and M. putrefaciens.

Characterization of the milk lipid fraction in non-dairy sheep breeds [PDF]
Archives Animal Breeding, 2015 Studies regarding the composition of milk fat are mostly conducted on dairy breeds. The aim of our studies was to evaluate the fatty acid, cholesterol and phospholipid amount in the milk of two non-dairy sheep breeds.

Predicting Milk Yield in Sheep Used for Dairying in Australia [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2007 It is necessary to identify traits that are simple to measure and correlated with milk yield to select ewes for dairying from existing populations of sheep in Australia. We studied 217 primiparous and 113 multiparous (second parity, n = 51; third parity, n = 40; and fourth parity, n = 22) East Friesian crossbred ewes, for 2 consecutive lactations, that

Effect of heat stress on production in Mediterranean dairy sheep [PDF]
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2005 A study on heat stress in Mediterranean dairy sheep was undertaken with the objective to examine the relationship between milk production and heat stress, to estimate the additive genetic variances of milk production traits and heat tolerance, and to investigate the possibility of future selection for increased heat tolerance.
