Allometric Growth of Non‐Carcass Components, Carcass Cuts and Hind Limb Tissues in Kivircik Lambs Finished Under Concentrate‐ and Pasture‐Based Systems

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 1, January 2025.
The mean of carcass components increased linearly with slaughter weight. Development of carcass cuts was late maturing in concentrate‐based system. Allometric growth of muscle and bone in pasture‐based system was extremely slow. Allometric growth of KKCF, subcutaneous fat and total fat was rapid.

Comprehensive multi‐tissue epigenome atlas in sheep: A resource for complex traits, domestication, and breeding

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 ...

Peri‐parturient ewe mortality in commercial, southern Australian, non‐Merino ewe flocks: establishing the frequency and investigating causes

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.

Selection of sheep skin bacteria to reduce blood feeding by biting midges under laboratory conditions

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 172, Issue 11, Page 1062-1071, November 2024.
Biting midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are vectors of pathogens. Currently, there are no effective methods to protect animals against biting midges. In humans, it has been shown that differences in attractiveness between individuals to mosquitoes are mediated by skin bacteria.
