New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.Maternal nutrition during gestation is a crucial factor affecting offspring development. This study explores the impact of maternal dietary protein levels on the transcriptome and miRNAome of skeletal muscle in lambs. Twelve Akkaraman breed ewes were assigned to three dietary groups—standard (SP, 119–198 g/day), high (HP, 160–270 g/day), and low (LP ...

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.The study of farm animal behaviour often relies on labour‐intensive observations, which can be impractical in extensive systems. Advances in technology (e.g. accelerometers and global positioning satellite (GPS) devices) can be used to record behaviours frequently, long‐term and remotely. Monitoring behaviour of livestock, in combination with other key

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2004 Milk yield, lamb birth weight and weaning weight responses to shearing during winter in sheep were investigated. A total of 46 Karayaka ewes were allocated into two treatment groups. Pregnant ewes in one group were shorn on day 100 of gestation (Shorn, n=24) and the remaining ewes were left unshorn to serve as controls (Unshorn, n=22).

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.In tropical systems, peripartum challenges ewe nutrition, making body condition score (BCS) a key indicator of energy reserves and health. This study assessed the effects of BCS at pregnancy diagnosis (BCS‐PD < 3 or ≥ 3), gestation type (singleton or multiple), and time on metabolic profiles, colostrum quality, and lamb performance in 70 crossbred ...

The Relationship Between Immunopathology and Body Condition of Mixed‐Age Ewes
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.Ill thrift in ewes, characterised by less than desirable body condition, is a multifactorial condition often attributed to nutritional deficits, though immunopathological factors may also play a role. This study investigated associations between body condition scores (BCS) and immunopathological states in 120 mixed‐age ewes grazing pasture over 4 ...
