Impact of Booroola fecundity gene introgression on sheep production: Indian perspective

open access: yesIndian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2021
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.

Improving pregnancy outcomes in humans through studies in sheep.

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physiology. Regulatory Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2018
Experimental studies that are relevant to human pregnancy rely on the selection of appropriate animal models as an important element in experimental design. Consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of any animal model of human disease is fundamental

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

Rickets in Sheep [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1954
Elliott and Crichton1 claimed that ‘bent-leg’ is of widespread distribution in Scotland. They found that cod-liver oil added daily to the diet of young rams less than a year old prevented the appearance of the rachitic condition. These observations were confirmed by Auchinachie and Fraser2 and by Dunlop3.

Whole-Genome Sequencing of Native Sheep Provides Insights into Rapid Adaptations to Extreme Environments

open access: yesMolecular biology and evolution, 2016
Global climate change has a significant effect on extreme environments and a profound influence on species survival. However, little is known of the genome-wide pattern of livestock adaptations to extreme environments over a short time frame following ...

Tunneling decay of false domain walls: the silence of the lambs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We study the decay of "false” domain walls, which are metastable states of the quantum theory where the true vacuum is trapped inside the wall, with the false vacuum outside.
