Crossbreeding locally adapted hair sheep to improve productivity and meat quality

Scientia Agricola
: The use of lambs from crossing of local with specialized sheep breeds for meat production may lead to higher meat deposition and a smaller fat amount in the carcass, with a more adequate nutritional profile for human consumption.

Effect of Diet Neutral Detergent Fibre Content on Dry Matter Intake, Nutrient Digestibility, Growth Efficiency and Carcass Characteristics of Finishing South African Mutton Merino Wether Lambs

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Feeding South African Mutton Merino lambs low‐NDF lucerne hay diets improved nutrient digestibility, energy utilisation, growth efficiency, and carcass quality. Despite lower intake at the lowest NDF level, fibre digestibility and feed conversion improved, indicating that highly digestible, low‐NDF finishing diets enhance lamb growth and carcass traits.

Moringa stenopetala Leaves and Cafeteria Leftover as Nonconventional Supplements in the Diets of Local Gamo Sheep: Nutrient Utilization, Growth Performance and Economic Efficiency

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
For smallholders having plenty of cafeteria leftovers and M. stenopetala leaves, blended feeding of the ingredients is more profitable than their exclusive feeding. Provided that they are comparably available, sole supplementation of M. stenopetala is more advantageous and profitable than sole supplementation of cafeteria leftovers.

Comprehensive Analysis of PAPPA2 Expression and Genetic Variants in Sheep and Their Association With Litter Size

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The PAPPA2 gene encodes a metalloproteinase critical for regulating insulin‐like growth factor (IGF) bioavailability through cleavage of insulin‐like growth factor‐binding protein 5 (IGFBP5). While its role in human and murine reproduction is documented, its function in sheep reproductive traits remains underexplored. Objective This

Characterization of Gastrointestinal Parasites in Grazing Sheep in Mountain, Piedmont, and Savanna Conditions of Casanare, Colombia

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Gastrointestinal parasitosis represents a significant constraint on sheep productivity in Colombian tropical production systems; however, their regional epidemiological dynamics remain insufficiently characterized. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize the prevalence, associations, coinfestations, and health‐related correlations of

Dermatosparaxis in White Dorper sheep.

Journal of the South African Veterinary Association, 1988
A diagnosis of dermatosparaxis in a lamb with clinical signs of extreme skin fragility was based on the gross changes as well as on light and scanning electron microscopical observations. Similar cases had occurred on the same farm during the previous year.
