Implications of Genotype by Environment Interactions in Dairy Sheep Welfare

Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023
Small ruminants are the most extensively farmed livestock species in Europe, as a result being extremely exposed to natural hazards which leads to strong interactions between genotype and environment.

PCR-RFLP of bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15/FecX) gene as a candidate for prolificacy in sheep

International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine, 2018
Bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15/FecX) gene is considered one of the major genes and a candidate marker for the reproduction in farm animals, especially sheep.

Comparative genomic characterization of indigenous fat‐tailed Akkaraman sheep with local and transboundary sheep breeds

Food and Energy Security, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/February 2024.
Abstract The domestic sheep with over 1200 breeds descended from those early domesticated animals that are bred for a variety of resources such as meat, milk and wool. Akkaraman, a fat‐tailed indigenous sheep breed of Türkiye, is widespread throughout Central Anatolia, with the largest indigenous sheep population.

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.

Genetic parameters of lamb leather and wool traits in Lacaune dairy sheep

animal
Lacaune lamb skins are well known for their high quality and are widely used in the leather industry and luxury ready-to-wear fashion. However, in France, the quality of this leather has declined over recent decades, primarily due to two major defects: pinhole and straw-like bushiness. The study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of these defects

Haematological and blood biochemical parameters in Lacaune dairy sheep [PDF]

, 2019
The effect of productivity (high and low) and season (winter vs summer) on venous blood morphology and biochemical parameters was investigated in dairy Lacaune sheep. Thirty-two animals were included in the experiment, divided into 2 groups. It was found

Effect of fat tail docking on meat quality of Awassi sheep in comparison with Lacaune sheep

Journal of Animal & Plant Sciences, 2019
1 ABSTRACT This experiment was conducted to study the effect of fat tail docking on Awassi lamb sheep’s meat in comparison with thin-tail Lacaune sheep’s meat (imported breed in Lebanon). Twenty seven ram lambs were divided into three groups, intact fat-tail Awassi (IA), docked fat-tail Awassi (DA), and imported thin-tail Lacaune (IL).

Expression of estrus of Lacaune sheep synchronized outside the breeding season

, 2021
El presente estudio se realizó entre septiembre y octubre de 2020, en Santana do Livramento, Rio Grande do Sul. El experimento tuvo como objetivo evaluar la actividad reproductiva de las ovejas lecheras fuera de la temporada de cría convencional. Se utilizaron 17 ovejas Lacaune multíparas.

Molecular Cloning of the B4GALNT2 Gene and Its Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Association with Litter Size in Small Tail Han Sheep

Animals, 2018
A new fecundity gene named the FecL (mutation), which regulates the ovulation rate, was discovered in French Lacaune sheep. The B4GALNT2 (beta-1, 4-N-acetyl-galactosaminyl transferase 2) gene was considered as the potential FecL mutation gene. This study
