History and genetic diversity of African sheep: Contrasting phenotypic and genomic diversity. [PDF]

Anim Genet
Abstract Domesticated sheep have adapted to contrasting and extreme environments and continue to play important roles in local community‐based economies throughout Africa. Here we review the Neolithic migrations of thin‐tailed sheep and the later introductions of fat‐tailed sheep into eastern Africa.

Serum pregnancy-associated glycoprotein profiles during early gestation in Karya and Konya Merino sheep. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Graphical Abstract: Pregnant Karya and Konya Merino ewes display similar pregnancy‐associated glycoproteins (PAGs) profile. Serum PAGs levels increased gradually in both breed during first 11 weeks of pregnancy. Pregnant and non‐pregnant ewes can be differentiated as of the fourth week of gestation based on serum PAG levels.

Retrospective analysis of 302 ovine dystocia cases presented to a veterinary hospital with particular attention to uterine torsion

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 1683-1693, July 2022., 2022
302 cases of ovine dystocia submitted to a veterinary hospital were studied retrospectively. Uterine torsion was identified as a relevant cause of dystocia in this case load, and year‐round housing was identified as the most influential factor predisposing to this condition.

Factors associated with ewe and lamb survival, and subsequent reproductive performance of sheep undergoing emergency caesarean section

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 120-129, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Clinical records of all 212 ewes undergoing emergency caesarean surgery at a veterinary teaching hospital between January 2008 and December 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Their age ranged from 1 to 10 years (median = 4 years), with German merino the predominant breed (48.1% of cases).
