Fatty acid profile and nutrient composition of muscle and adipose tissue from Malpura and fat-tailed Dumba sheep

open access: yesIndian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020
Fatty acid (FA) profile and nutrient composition of Longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle and various adipose tissues of adult Malpura sheep (4–6 years) and lambs (6 month), and fat tailed Dumba sheep (1 year) were evaluated.

Genomic prediction from observed and imputed high-density ovine genotypes

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2017
Background Genomic prediction using high-density (HD) marker genotypes is expected to lead to higher prediction accuracy, particularly for more heterogeneous multi-breed and crossbred populations such as those in sheep and beef cattle, due to providing ...

Dietary spirulina supplementation modifies rumen development, fermentation and bacteria composition in Hu sheep when consuming high-fat dietary

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionThis study aims to investigate the long-term effects of spirulina supplementation in a high-fat diet (HFD) on rumen morphology, rumen fermentation, and the composition of rumen microbiota in lambs.

Significant differences in incubation times in sheep infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy result from variation at codon 141 in the PRNP gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The susceptibility of sheep to prion infection is linked to variation in the PRNP gene, which encodes the prion protein. Common polymorphisms occur at codons 136, 154 and 171.

SNPs in Sheep: Characterization of Lithuanian Sheep Populations [PDF]

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
In Lithuania, there are two recognised native sheep breeds: old native Lithuanian Coarsewooled and Lithuanian Blackface. In addition, in 2005, primitive Heidschnucke-type Skudde sheep were imported to Lithuania and were argued to possibly represent a lost Lithuanian sheep type.

Initial Bloom Color is a Poor Predictor of Retail Color Stability in Lamb Loin Meat

open access: yesMeat and Muscle Biology, 2019
The rapid browning of lamb meat on retail display reduces its appeal to consumers and thus the marketability of lamb meat. Predicting the rate of meat browning on retail display would allow retailers to effectively manage this issue.

Overexpression of bmp4, dazl, nanos3 and sycp2 in Hu Sheep Leydig Cells Using CRISPR/dcas9 System Promoted Male Germ Cell Related Gene Expression

open access: yesBiology, 2022
Male germ cells directly affect the reproduction of males; however, their accurate isolation and culture in vitro is extremely challenging, hindering the study of germ cell development and function. CRISPR/dcas9, as an efficient gene reprogramming system,

Methane production and microbial protein synthesis in adult sheep fed total mixed ration as mash and as complete feed block

open access: yesCarbon Management, 2019
Sixteen rams in two groups were fed ad libitum total mixed ration as mash (TMRm) and as block (TMRb) for 90 days, and methane (CH4) emission was estimated by standard SF6 tracer technique.

Collision-Free Shepherding Control of a Single Target within a Swarm [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
The shepherding problem refers to guiding a group of agents (called sheep) to a specific destination using an external agent with repulsive forces (called shepherd). Although various movement algorithms for the shepherd have been explored in the literature, there is a scarcity of methodologies for selective guidance, which is a key technology for ...

Response to dietary tannin challenges in view of the browser/grazer dichotomy in an Ethiopian setting : Bonga sheep versus Kaffa goats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
It has been suggested that goats (typical browser) are better adapted to digest tannin-rich diets than sheep (typical grazer). To evaluate this, Bonga sheep and Kaffa goats were used in a 2x3 randomized crossover design with two species, three diets, and
