No Pedigree, No Problem: Genomic Inbreeding Tracks Genetic Rescue With High Resolution
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT With increasing habitat fragmentation and population isolation, inbreeding becomes a pressing concern for the persistence of wildlife populations. Detailed inbreeding monitoring is crucial for assessing extinction risk and evaluating the effectiveness of conservation management strategies.

Influence of ewe feeding systems on carcass quality of suckling lambs
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010 Numerous studies have evidenced significant differences in the carcass and meat quality of grass-fed and concentrate-fed lambs. The main differences regard carcass fatness (Murphy et al., 1994), subcutaneous fat colour (Prache and Theriez, 1999), meat ...

CONVERSION OF A LAMB PRODUCTION SYSTEM TO ORGANIC FARMING: HOW TO MANAGE, FOR WHICH RESULTS? [PDF]
, 2005 Two sheep flocks were managed organically (for two years from conversion onwards) under different lambing strategies (1 lambing/year vs. 3 lambings every two years).

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.Maternal nutrition during gestation is a crucial factor affecting offspring development. This study explores the impact of maternal dietary protein levels on the transcriptome and miRNAome of skeletal muscle in lambs. Twelve Akkaraman breed ewes were assigned to three dietary groups—standard (SP, 119–198 g/day), high (HP, 160–270 g/day), and low (LP ...

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.The study of farm animal behaviour often relies on labour‐intensive observations, which can be impractical in extensive systems. Advances in technology (e.g. accelerometers and global positioning satellite (GPS) devices) can be used to record behaviours frequently, long‐term and remotely. Monitoring behaviour of livestock, in combination with other key

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.A system dynamics model of a sheep enterprise on a New Zealand sheep and beef farm was used to concurrently evaluate productivity, profitability, and predicted enteric methane outputs, allowing farmers to make informed decisions about improving mature ewe weaning rates (lambs weaned/ewe mated) or breeding hoggets.
