Genetic parameter estimates for pre-weaning weight traits in Dorper sheep
Small Ruminant Research, 2001 Genetic parameters were estimated for birth-, 42-day, and 100-day (weaning) weight in the Dorper flock of the Glen Agricultural Institute in South Africa. Direct heritability estimates of 0.11, 0.28 and 0.20 and maternal heritability estimates of 0.10, 0.10 and 0.10 were obtained for body weights at birth, 42 and 100 days, respectively.

Occurrence and Morphometric Characterization of <i>Cysticercus tenuicollis</i> in Sheep From Minas Gerais, Brazil. [PDF]
Vet Med IntIn livestock production, the health of slaughtered animals is crucial to ensuring food safety. In this context, animal cysticercosis poses serious problems within production systems. Cysticercosis caused by Cysticercus tenuicollis (larval stage of Taenia hydatigena) is common in pasture‐raised ruminants.

Nutritional Level and Type of Feed on the Reproductive Performance of Ewe and Its Effects on Offspring. [PDF]
Reprod Domest AnimABSTRACT The amount and source of nutrition are important factors that influence an ewe's reproductive ability, but the effects of diet on the reproductive performance of its offspring are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of maternal nutrition (level of nutrition and source) on the reproductive performance of ewes and their female ...
