Lambing Performance of Morlam and Dorset Ewes under Accelerated Lambing Systems
Journal of Animal Science, 1986 Two accelerated lambing systems, Morlam using Morlam sheep (USDA, Beltsville 1966 to 1975) and Camal using Dorset ewes (Cornell 1978 to 1981), were evaluated for first lambing ages, interlambing intervals and conception probabilities. Morlam ewes were continuously exposed to rams over the year, while Camal Dorset ewes were exposed every other month ...

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.We hypothesize that increasing N application rates will affect N use efficiency (NUE) for lambs grazing warm‐season annual grasses. We evaluated the effect of N fertilizer application rates (50, 100, 200, and 400 kg N/ha) on forage pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.) and animal responses: N balance and NUE per animal and per area basis.
