Microencapsulated herbal components in the diet of Lacaune ewes: impacts on physiology and milk production and quality [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2023 This study aimed to determine whether the addition of a microencapsulated herbal blend (MHB) based on thymol, carvacrol, and cinnamaldehyde in dairy sheep feed would improve production efficiency, milk quality, and animal health. Thirty lactating Lacaune

Genetic parameters for milk somatic cell score and relationships with production traits in primiparous dairy sheep [PDF]
, 2007 A total of 13,066 first-lactation test-day records of 2,277 Valle del Belice ewes from 17 flocks were used to estimate genetic parameters for somatic cell scores (SCS) and milk production traits, using a repeatability test-day animal model.

Blood biochemical profile as an objective measure of welfare in Lacaune sheep [PDF]
, 2022 Blood serum biochemical parameters of 32 Lacaune sheep divided into two groups by productivity (high- and low-producing) were studied. The surveys were conducted in three different seasons (summer, autumn and winter).

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 (
