History and genetic diversity of African sheep: Contrasting phenotypic and genomic diversity
Animal Genetics, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2025.Abstract Domesticated sheep have adapted to contrasting and extreme environments and continue to play important roles in local community‐based economies throughout Africa. Here we review the Neolithic migrations of thin‐tailed sheep and the later introductions of fat‐tailed sheep into eastern Africa.

Some aspects of superovulation and fertilisation of Dorper sheep.
Journal of the South African Veterinary Association, 1987 Response of Dorper sheep to treatment with FSH and PMSG and fertilisation after natural service, natural service following application of PGF2 alpha-containing gel on the posterior os cervix and surgical insemination with fresh semen were evaluated. FSH gave a significantly (P greater than 0.05) better response than PMSG.

iMeta, Volume 3, Issue 6, December 2024.We constructed the first multi‐tissue epigenome atlas in sheep, identifying a total of 753,723 nonredundant functional elements, with over 60% being novel. Our findings highlight tissue‐specific functional elements, particularly those related to sensory abilities and immune response, which are highly enriched in genomic regions influenced by ...

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 102, Issue 12, Page 605-615, December 2024.Background The level and cause of ewe mortality over the peri‐parturient period is poorly understood in Australia. The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of peri‐parturient ewe mortality and investigate the causes of death in commercial, non‐Merino ewes over the peri‐parturient period.
