Ewe-lamb bonding behaviours at birth are affected by maternal undernutrition in pregnancy [PDF]
, 2003 Maternal undernutrition in pregnancy results in low birth-weights and impaired postnatal survival in sheep. Largely anecdotal evidence suggests that the expression of appropriate maternal and neonate behaviours may also be disrupted by undernutrition. In

Follicle Stimulating Hormone in Cattle Breeding: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Scope
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.FSH is crucial in cattle reproduction, with exogenous administration enhancing breeding and embryo production. Recombinant FSH offers advantages over pituitary‐extracted variants, including fewer injections, reduced stress, and safer production. These innovations improve breeding efficiency, optimize reproductive outcomes, and contribute to sustainable

PARTIAL NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE OF THE G GLYCOPROTEIN OF RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS ISOLATED FROM WILD BIGHORN SHEEP MAY PROVE THAT IT IS NEARLY IDENTICAL TO THAT OF OVINE RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS OF DOMESTIC SHEEP [PDF]
Veterinary Medical Journal - Giza, 2005 The G glycoprotein is the most variable gene among different strains of human and bovine respiratory syncytial viruses (RSV). One isolate of ovine RSV isolated from domestic sheep has been molecularly characterized before.

Sheep Horn Development Revealed by Multi‐Tissue and Cross‐Species Transcriptomic Analysis
Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.Multi‐tissue and cross‐species transcriptomics with allele‐specific expression show sheep horns are a composite organ integrating epidermal and osteogenic programs. Conserved horn gene modules and cis‐regulatory variation fine‐tune expression networks underlying horn development and size (small scurs vs. large spiral horns).

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...
