Productive and Reproductive Efficiency of Ewes Kept on Tropical Pastures as a Function of the Suckling Lamb Treatments

Tropical Animal Science Journal, 2023
The aim of the research was to evaluate the productive and reproductive performances of ewes as a function of the supplementation offered to suckling lambs. The lambs were divided into two experimental treatments.

Effect of the dam’s feeding regimen on the meat quality of light suckling lambs

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2010
In order to verify the effect of the introduction of concentrates without GMO risk and at low aflatoxin risk in the diet of grazing milk ewes on the quanti-qualitative production of meat of their milk-fed light lambs, two trials were carried out - in ...

An Economic and Environmental Analysis of Virtual Fencing for Precision Grazing

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The UK grazing livestock sector is challenged by declining farm profitability and stringent environmental policy. Innovative technologies such as virtual fencing could enable a balanced economic and environmental performance of beef production. Virtual fencing is a livestock management tool relying on invisible boundaries perceived as auditory,

Effects of Prenatal Ursodeoxycholic Acid and Probiotic Supplementation on Stress Parameters, Immune Response and Lamb Survival Rates in Ewes

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Prenatal ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and probiotic supplementation, administered alone or combined, modulate colostrum quality and neonatal immunity in ewes. Combined UDCA + PRO most consistently increases colostral IgG, enhances neonatal IgG levels, and improves lamb survival.

Effect of farming system on meat traits of native Massese suckling lamb

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2021
Growth performance and meat quality traits of 24 Massese suckling lambs reared up to 69 days of age in different farming systems were evaluated. Three groups were considered: stall (S) reared indoors and fed concentrate and hay; pasture (P) reared ...

The Effect of Using Different Probiotics on the Performance, Digestibility of Nutrients, Feces Score, Blood Parameters and Skeletal Indices of Suckling Holstein's Calves

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 5, September 2026.
Adding probiotics to calf milk significantly improved growth, resulting in higher final body weight and daily weight gain compared to the control group. Probiotics, particularly Bacillus subtilis, enhanced fecal consistency scores, nutrient digestibility, and skeletal development.

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.
Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.

Reference Intervals for Schirmer Tear Test and Intraocular Pressure in Healthy Hamdani Crossbred Sheep

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
This study establishes reference intervals for Schirmer tear test (STT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) in healthy Hamdani crossbred sheep. STT values were lower and IOP values higher than previously reported, highlighting the importance of breed‐specific reference ranges in clinical ophthalmic evaluation.

Early insulin release following suckling in neonatal lambs and rabbits [PDF]

Diabetologia, 1979
Developmental changes in the plasma insulin response to milk ingestion have been determined in neonatal lambs fed by bottle and in naturally suckled infant rabbits. In lambs at 4 days of age and older plasma insulin increased within 5 min of suckling and declined again before increasing to a second peak 60 to 120 min after the feed.
