Economic necessity for developing the milk sector [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The Merinos dominating in the Hungarian sheep industry and the profitability of sheep production is not as high as would be necessary. Economic analysis was made to find out the possible break-even points. According to the results, the increase of milk

Freeze‐dried Lactobacillus spp. improved average daily liveweight gain and reduced methane intensity in growing lambs

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3857-3865, April 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND Direct fed microbials (DFM) are natural and safe enteric methane mitigants for ruminant livestock systems. While previous studies have demonstrated the effect of Lactobacillus spp. on methane mitigation, challenges remain in effectively delivering DFM in extensive grazing systems. The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the

CONVERSION OF A LAMB PRODUCTION SYSTEM TO ORGANIC FARMING: HOW TO MANAGE, FOR WHICH RESULTS? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Two sheep flocks were managed organically (for two years from conversion onwards) under different lambing strategies (1 lambing/year vs. 3 lambings every two years).

Shearing Pregnant Ewes to Improve Lamb Birth Weight Increases Milk Yield of Ewes and Lamb Weaning Weight

open access: yesAsian-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).

α‐Adrenergic blockade impairs ductus venosus shunting during an acute period of fetal hypoxaemia without further deficits to cerebral oxygen delivery

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 1796-1807, 1 April 2026.
Abstract The fetal circulation has unique shunts, including the ductus venosus (DV), the tone of which dictates how much substrate‐rich blood returning from the placenta is streamed preferentially away from the liver and instead towards the heart. Herein, we aimed to use clinically relevant MRI techniques in sheep to measure indirectly induced changes ...

Long term performance of organic farming in the hills and uplands - Redesdale and Pwllpeiran organic units - OF0368 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
During the 1990’s significant areas of hill and upland in the UK were converted to organic production. In the short term, this was driven by the downturn in conventional prices for beef and sheep, and the aid to conversion payments available.

Methodological comparison of fetal brain 1H‐MRS data analysis techniques and gestational age analysis using LCModel in the fetal sheep brain

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 1597-1611, 1 April 2026.
Abstract Proton (1H) magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is a non‐invasive imaging technique that can be used to assess brain metabolism. Establishing reference levels of fetal brain metabolites in a translatable preclinical model is crucial for identifying subtle deviations from normal cerebral development. Herein, we developed a 1H‐MRS protocol for

The effects of allowance and frequency of allocation of deferred herbage, and grass silage feed value, when offered to ewes in mid-gestation on ewe and lamb performance and subsequent herbage yield

open access: yesAnimal, 2009
The effects of (i) herbage allowance, (ii) frequency of allocation and (iii) grass silage feed value on ewe and lamb performance were studied in mid-gestation ewes. Furthermore, the effects of (i) herbage allowance, (ii) frequency of allocation and (iii)

Short communication: A practical farm-based trial to compare ewe nematode control strategies in peri-parturient ewes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
The focus of gastro-intestinal parasite control in the sheep industry is increasingly on finding a balance between maintaining productivity of the flock whilst minimising selection for anthelmintic resistance to preserve anthelmintic efficacy for the ...
