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.

Using Morphological Traits to Predict Body Weight of Dorper Sheep Lambs

World's Veterinary Journal, 2022
The Dorper sheep are known to be a fast-growing breed with a very good body conformation that produces high-quality carcass. The recent study was conducted to determine the relationship between body weight (BW) and morphological traits, such as heart girth (HG), rump height (RH), body length (BL), withers height (WH), and sternum height (SH).

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.

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,

Sexing of Dorper sheep fetuses derived from natural mating and embryo transfer by ultrasonography

Reproduction, Fertility and Development, 2007
In order to improve fetal sexing in the Dorper sheep breed, the objective of the present study was to determine, by repeated ultrasonographic examinations, the migration period of the genital tubercle (GT) in sheep fetuses derived from natural mating or embryo transfer and to compare the accuracy of a single examination with repeated examinations at ...

A New Gene Source on Meat Sheep in Turkey: Dorper

2014
Turkey’s topography and sociocultural make up is very suited to sheep and goat production. Lamb is also the preferred red meat option in most parts of Turkey. Although there are many elements to support lamb production, Turkey’s red meat production and consequently consumption (9kg/capita/year) is far below those of other developed countries.

Genetic Polymorphism of Growth Hormone Gene in Dorper Sheep using PCR-RFLP

Indian Journal of Animal Research
Background: The growth hormone gene has a significant impact on postnatal longitudinal growth and development as well as the metabolism of protein, carbohydrates, and fats moreover its effects indirectly relate to bone and skeletal development. The objective of the study was to identify a single nucleotide polymorphism of the growth hormone gene and ...

Enhancing Body Weight in Balami Sheep Through Dorper Crossbreeding via Artificial Insemination Running Title: Dorper–Balami Crossbreeding Performance

This study was carried out to examine the possibility of enhancing the growth and productivity of Balami sheep by introducing Dorper blood by means of Laparoscopy Artificial Insemination (LAI) under semi-arid conditions of north-eastern Nigeria. Forty adult Balami ewes were separated into two groups, Dorper inseminated (DB, n = 20) and Balami naturally
