Comparative aspects of resistance to body-cooling in newborn lambs and kids : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
THE PROBLEM OF PERINATAL MORTALITY IN LAMBS AND KIDS Fibre-producing goats are becoming an increasingly important species on New Zealand farms. There is a considerable lack of information about the physiology of goats, especially as it relates to the ...

Development of organs and tissues in lambs raised on Spanish mountain grassland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The present study was conducted to establish the pattern of body development in grass-raised Churra Tensina lambs. Forty-nine single male lambs were slaughtered at three body-weight intervals, according to the commercial categories of suckling (11.191 ...

No Pedigree, No Problem: Genomic Inbreeding Tracks Genetic Rescue With High Resolution

open access: yesEvolutionary 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.

Selection for anthelmintic resistant Teladorsagia circumcincta in pre-weaned lambs by treating their dams with long-acting moxidectin injection

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Drugs and Drug Resistance, 2015
Administration of long-acting anthelmintics to pregnant ewes prior to lambing is a common practice in New Zealand. Today, most of these products contain macrocyclic lactone (ML) actives, which because of their lipophilic nature, are detectable in the ...

The behaviour and health of dairy lambs reared artificially with and without early access to meal : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Animal Science at Massey University. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Many large-scale dairy sheep producers use lamb-rearing systems and provide lambs with milk replacer (MR) ad libitum and grain-based meal to accelerate rumen development to support early weaning methods.

The Impact on Farm Productivity, Profitability and Predicted Enteric Methane Emissions from Varying Weaning Weight of Lambs on New Zealand Sheep and Beef Farms

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
The impact of increasing the weaning weight of lambs on the productivity and profitability of sheep enterprises on New Zealand sheep and beef farms has been investigated without considering greenhouse gas emissions. The study examined the impact of increasing the weaning weight of lambs on sheep enterprise productivity, profitability and predicted ...

Effect of linseed supplementation of the gestation and lactation diets of dairy ewes on the growth performance and the intramuscular fatty acid composition of their lambs

open access: yesAnimal, 2015
In this study, we investigated the effects of maternal gestation and/or lactation diets supplemented with extruded linseed (rich in 18:3n-3) on growth performance and long-chain polyunsaturated faaty acid (PUFA) accumulation in muscle tissues of suckling

Productive and Reproductive Performance of Ewes at 60 and 90 Days Postpartum Treated by Different Weaning System

open access: yesTropical Animal Science Journal, 2020
Based on the assumption that the time required by the lamb to reach a certain weight at slaughter (slaughter weight) is partially dependent on the amount of milk ingested during suckling, and on the dietary management of the sheep and lamb.

High‐ and Low‐Protein Maternal Diet During Pregnancy Alter the Offspring Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome and miRNAome in Lamb

open access: yesNew 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 ...
