Polymorphism C242T in the Cyp19 gene in meat sheep
The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of C242T polymorphism on the aromatase gene and the allelic and genotypic frequency of these variants in sheep belonging to four breed groups. Blood samples were collected from 187 animals of four

Relationship between pelvic and linear body measurements in Dorper ewes
Low lifetime rearing success and high perinatal mortality of lambs have been associated with small pelvic areas in ewes. It would therefore make sense to include pelvic area as a criterium for selecting breeding ewes; however, measuring it in vivo poses ...

A Comparative assessment of Dorper sheep in different production environments and systems
Performance of Dorper sheep was compared to other breeds in pure and cross-breeding evaluations under different production systems. The number of ewes lambed per ewe joint (EL/ Ej) varied for the Dorper from 0.68 to 0.91 (average 0.81) and for other ...
