DETERMINATION OF THE SUCKLING-RUMINANT PHASE ON LAMBS BY ?13C TECHNIQUE

, 2010
This study was conducted at University of Marília, São Paulo State, Brazil, aiming to determine the phase of intake transition between exclusively liquid diet (milk) and diet based on milk, grass and/or ration by lambs by ?13C technique. Six Suffolk crossbreeding lambs were distributed in a totally random design (3x2), with two experimental groups and ...

Linking genetic merit to sparse behavioral data: behavior and genetic effects on lamb growth in Soay sheep

, 2019
Wild quantitative genetic studies have focused on a subset of traits (largely morphological and life-history), with others, such as behaviors, receiving much less attention.
