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

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

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

Genomic prediction from observed and imputed high-density ovine genotypes
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 ...

Impact of Booroola fecundity gene introgression on sheep production: Indian perspective
Surge of demand for meat from diverse sources in a time of decling land and other natural resources shifted the trend of producing more sheep per sheep. Prolificacy aspect in sheep can be used as an important arsenal to fulfil this objective.
