Comparative proteomics reveals genetic mechanisms of body weight in Hu sheep and Dorper sheep

Journal of Proteomics, 2022
Body weight (BW) is a critical economic trait for meat production in sheep, and it is a complex trait affected by numerous elements. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic mechanisms of sheep BW by a label-free proteomics approach. The result showed, a total of 27, 14, 61, and 65 differentially abundant proteins (DAPs) were identified in ...

Vascularization of the muscles of the shoulder joint of a Dorper sheep

Hippology and Veterinary Sciences, 2023
The angioarchitecture of the intraorgan arterial bed of the studied muscles of the thoracic limb of the Dorper sheep is characterized by a modular type of structure. The direction of the arteries of the first and second orders inside the muscles usually does not correspond to the course of the muscle bundles, and their intrasystemic anastomoses form a ...

Performance of Dorper sheep under an accelerated lambing system

Small Ruminant Research, 1992
Abstract Lambing records from 1984 to 1989 comprising 699 ewe lambing years were used. Ewes were exposed to three fixed 30-d joining periods/yr to lamb during February/March (first season), June/July (second season) and October/November (third season). Number of ewes lambed/ewes joined/yr was 0.85, and the number of lambs born/ewe joined/yr was 1.21.

Anatomical and topographical features of the area of pelvic bones of dorper sheep

International bulletin of Veterinary Medicine, 2020
Movement is a characteristic and in-herented property of the animal organism. Without the implementation of musculoskel-etal work, it becomes impossible for the animal to move in the environment, search for food, protect themselve and procreate. This work in the body is performed by the musculoskeletal system, which accounts for most of the body weight.

Effect of urea supplementation on performance and safety in diets of Dorper crossbred sheep

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2015
SummaryThis study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dietary urea in sheep rations having a 50:50 concentrate:roughage ratio. Sixty‐four Dorper × thin‐tailed Han crossbred ram lambs with an average body weight of 30.8 (±0.02) kg were randomly divided into four groups of 16 sheep each, and each group was fed one of the following diets:

Phenotypic and genetic parameters of weaning traits in Dorper sheep in Zimbabwe

Small Ruminant Research, 1992
Abstract Data on weight and conformation score of 2466 Dorper lambs at weaning obtained over three lambing seasons in each of five years were analysed by least-squares procedures. Year-season of birth, rearing class, weaning age, age of dam and sex of lamb were significant sources of variation in weaning weight, and, with the exception of sex of lamb,

33 PRODUCTION OF CLONED BOER GOATS AND DORPER SHEEP IN ARGENTINA

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2010
Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) has been proposed as an outstanding tool for expanding the dissemination capacity of animals of extreme genetic value, as well as for the genetic resurrection of elite animals affected by incurable disease or that died suddenly.
