Animal welfare of Lacaune lambs weaned from artificial feeding [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science
IntroductionNowadays, many dairy sheep farms opt for milk replacers after birth. Weaning lambs from milk replacers is expected to be a stressful situation.MethodsWith the aim of researching this practice on the animal behavior, body weight yields, and sanitary status of Lacaune lambs, 60 healthy animals from the same lambing house were employed.

Breeding options for nematode resistance in Lacaune dairy sheep

Animal, 2023
Due to progressing anthelmintic resistance of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN), supportive measures are needed to control these parasites. In sheep, it has been shown that selection towards an increased nematode resistance is feasible and that faecal egg

Assessment of accuracy of genomic prediction for French Lacaune dairy sheep [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2014
Genomic selection in Lacaune dairy sheep was investigated based on genotypes from the OvineSNP50 BeadChip (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA). Historical artificial insemination progeny-tested rams formed a population of 2,892 genotyped rams. Additional ungenotyped rams and females were included by single-step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP).
