Study of Genetic Progress in the Context of Disconnection Between Two Originally Connected Populations. [PDF]

J Anim Breed Genet
ABSTRACT Genetic progress of breeding programs is highly dependent on the size of reference populations and the relatedness between reference populations and selection candidates. Many reasons can lead a population to split into several subpopulations (sanitary, physiological, political reasons, etc.).

Ultrasound Examination of the Penile Urethra in Healthy Non‐Castrated Texel Lambs Confined for Fattening [PDF]

Vet Radiol Ultrasound
ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine, using ultrasonography, the width of the penile urethral lumen in Texel lambs and to compare two types of linear probes. Thirty healthy, uncastrated lambs kept in confinement for fattening were subjected to ultrasound examinations at 60, 120, and 150 days of age.

THE CHANGES IN THE BLOOD’S ACID-BASE BALANCE OF THE LACAUNE SHEEP DURING DIFFERENT LACTATION STAGES

Poljoprivreda, 2022
The aim of the present study was to determine the acid-base balance in the blood of the Lacaune sheep during different lactation stages. Thirty lactating Lacaune sheep were involved in the research, and were monitored in the early (day 60), medium (day ...

Melatonin and Lactation in Ruminants Dairy Animals: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Preclinical Studies. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Melatonin is present in breast milk with a diurnal pattern, potentially supporting early circadian rhythm development. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of exogenous melatonin supplementation, compared with no treatment or placebo, on milk yield, milk composition, somatic cell count ...

Factors affecting milk yield and ewe's lactation curves estimated with test-day models

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2006
Test-day records of purebred Tsigai, Improved Valachian and Lacaune ewes were analysed with a general linear model in order to investigate the effects of flock-test day, lactation number, days in milk, litter size and month of lambing. In total, 121 576 (

Genomic selection in the French Lacaune dairy sheep breed [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2012
Genomic selection aims to increase accuracy and to decrease generation intervals, thus increasing genetic gains in animal breeding. Using real data of the French Lacaune dairy sheep breed, the purpose of this study was to compare the observed accuracies of genomic estimated breeding values using different models (infinitesimal only, markers only, and ...
