ABSTRACT Currently, comparisons of lamb output from either ewe lambs or mature ewes are confounded, as the age groups are bred to different sires, and lamb at different times. The aim of this experiment was to compare the reproductive performance of ewe lambs and mature ewes, bred at the same time to the same sires, and lambed in the ...

Paddocks were grazed for periods of 2 weeks at densities of 80 and 160 ewes/ha in weeks 1–8 and then 70 and 140 ewes/ha in weeks 9/16 of lactation.Intakes of herbage by ewes ...

Comparison of MOET in Texel ewe lambs and yearling ewes

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1994
Combined multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) from ewe lambs could significantly increase the rate of genetic progress in sheep improvement programmes (Smith, 1986). The benefits arise from a combination of an increased number of progeny from superior females and a reduction in the generation interval.
