Estimation of genetic parameters and evaluation of test-day milk production in sheep

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2012
Genetic parameters and breeding values were estimated based on 11 708 daily milk yields from 2255 lactations (1351 sheep, 19 different flocks) between the years 2004 and 2010. The pedigree covered 2334 individuals, including both the recorded animals and

Relationships between external and internal udder measurements and the linear scores for udder morphology traits in dairy sheep

Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2006
Udder morphology traits were measured and subjectively assessed by the use of linear scores in 266 ewes of Tsigai (T), Improved Walachian (IW) and Lacaune (LC) dairy breeds.

A synthetic biology approach for a vaccine platform against known and newly emerging serotypes of bluetongue virus [PDF]

, 2014
Bluetongue is one of the major infectious diseases of ruminants and is caused by Bluetongue virus (BTV), an arbovirus existing in nature in at least 26 distinct serotypes. Here, we describe the development of a vaccine platform for BTV.

Energy Intake During the Transition Period Triggers Substantial Impacts on Body Weight, Milk Production Efficiency, Milk Composition and Blood Biochemical Constituents in Fat‐Tailed Ewes

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
The nutritional management during the transition period is crucial for sheep. This research highlighted a significant association between the energy intake of ewes and various factors, including their body weight, milk production and composition, production efficiency, as well as key blood biomarkers indicative of the metabolic status of the animals ...
