Benefit of including female genotypes in the Lacaune dairy sheep reference population

Journal of Dairy Science
: Breeding programs for Lacaune dairy sheep adopted genomic selection in 2015. Genomic predictions for young male candidates are based on a reference population of more than 10,000 artificial insemination rams born since the early 2000s.

Performance of dairy ewes fed diets with a fibrolytic enzyme product included in the concentrate during the suckling period

Animal, 2008
Seventy-two multiparous ewes from two dairy breeds (Manchega, n = 36 and Lacaune, n = 36) were used in a replicated 2 × 2 factorial design to evaluate the effects of diet supplementation with an exogenous fibrolytic enzyme product on lactation ...

Serum pregnancy–associated glycoprotein profiles during early gestation in Karya and Konya Merino sheep

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2024.
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.

Human social enrichment is linked with reduced mortality in artificially reared ewe lambs

Animal Science Journal, Volume 95, Issue 1, January/December 2024.
Abstract Growth of lambs in an artificial rearing system is key to the economic success of sheep‐milking farms. Social enrichment in the form of quiet human contact has been shown to increase growth rates of lambs after weaning, perhaps by reducing stress and enhancing immune function.

Including genomic information in the genetic evaluation of production and reproduction traits in South African Merino sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 141, Issue 1, Page 65-82, January 2024.
Abstract Genomic selection (GS) has become common in sheep breeding programmes in Australia, New Zealand, France and Ireland but requires validation in South Africa (SA). This study aimed to compare the predictive ability, bias and dispersion of pedigree BLUP (ABLUP) and single‐step genomic BLUP (ssGBLUP) for production and reproduction traits in South
