Direct and maternal genetic effects for birth weight in dorper and mutton merino sheep in Zimbabwe

open access: yes, 2013
Variance components for birth (BWT) in Dorper and Mutton Merino sheep were estimated by Average Information Restricted Maximum Likelihood (AIREML). Animal model was fitted allowing for genetic maternal effects and a genetic covariance between direct and ...

Dermatosparaxis in White Dorper sheep.

open access: yesJournal 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.

Methodological Determinants of Grayscale Pixel Intensity in Ram Testicular Ultrasonography: Effects of ROI Placement and Imaging Plane Across Age Groups and Two Reproductive Periods

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Testicular ultrasonography is increasingly used in ram breeding soundness evaluations, yet methodological standardization of quantitative grayscale image analysis remains limited. The primary objective of this study was to determine the effects of region‐of‐interest (ROI) placement and imaging plane on testicular parenchymal numerical pixel ...

Factors associated with the reproductive performance of ewes inseminated laparoscopically in England and Wales: A longitudinal study

open access: yesVeterinary Record, Volume 199, Issue 1, Page e21-e29, 4/11 July 2026.
Abstract Background Laparoscopic intrauterine artificial insemination (Lap‐AI) is used in sheep genetic improvement programmes. However, the lambing rate (LR) (i.e., the proportion of inseminated ewes that lamb) following Lap‐AI is variable. Previously, one small UK study investigated factors associated with LR, but it did not adjust for dependencies ...
