Effects of sire genotype on lamb performance at weaning in extensive sheep systems
Animal, 2019 A low finishing weight and poor carcass characteristics are major causes of lower incomes in extensive sheep flocks; however, the use of terminal sire crossbreeding would improve lamb performance and carcass traits under these conditions. The aim of this

Comparison of different growth curve models in romanov lambs [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2020 This study investigates the modelling of the individual growth curves of Romanov lambs using different equations and the data on the increase in live weight and selects the best model. For this purpose, the live weights of Romanov lambs that were brought

The dynamic influence of the DRB1*1101 allele on the resistance of sheep to experimental Teladorsagia circumcincta infection [PDF]
, 2011 Suffolk sheep carrying the DRB1*1101 (previously referred to as-DRB1*0203 or G2) allele have been reported to show increased resistance to natural Teladorsagia circumcincta infection compared to non-carriers.

Differential expression of pattern recognition receptors during the development of foetal sheep [PDF]
, 2008 Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) play a crucial role in the initiation of the adaptive immune response. Immunological competence of foetal lambs occurs progressively throughout gestation, and in order to understand the role played by PRRs in foetal ...

Metazoan-protozoan parasite co-infections and host body weight in St Kilda Soay sheep [PDF]
, 2008 For hundreds of years, the unmanaged Soay sheep population on St Kilda has survived despite enduring presumably deleterious co-infections of helminth, protozoan and arthropod parasites and intermittent periods of starvation.
