Periparturient mortality in merino ewes in Australia: Incidence, impact and the path to mitigation strategies. [PDF]

open access: yesAust Vet J
Managing breeding ewe mortality is a priority for the Australian sheep industry. The periparturient period carries the highest risk of mortality, but the incidence and causes in Merino ewes are not well characterised. Here, we outline the reported incidence of annual and periparturient mortality for Australian Merino ewes, causes and risk factors for ...

Development of breeding values for susceptibility to virulent footrot in sheep: A strategy to accommodate variable disease progression at time of scoring

open access: yesAnimal, 2022
Genetic evaluations utilising footrot scores from industry flocks in their essence, incorporate data from a wide range of challenge environments, resulting in potentially large differences in means, variances and distribution of scores across challenges.

Mothers of disabled infants had higher cortisol levels in a free‐ranging group of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Primatology, Volume 85, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Mothers of disabled infants and lower ranking females, but not disabled adult females, had higher fecal cortisol values among free‐ranging female Japanese monkeys. We considered physical impairment, maternity and individual, and social and ecological factors that may impact stress among adult females in a free‐ranging group of Japanese macaques (as ...
