Organic vs Conventional Suckling Lamb Production: Product Quality and Consumer Acceptance [PDF]

, 2008
Samples of suckling lambs (n=40) of two breeds reared under conventional and organic conditions were analysed to asses physico-chemical characteristics, including instrumental texture, and nutritional quality in terms of fatty acid composition.

Dynamics of postnatal bone development and epiphyseal synostosis in the caprine autopod

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 4, Page 417-429, April 2026.
Abstract Background Bones develop to structurally balance strength and mobility. Bone developmental dynamics are influenced by whether an animal is ambulatory at birth. Precocial species, which are ambulatory at birth, develop advanced skeletal maturity in utero and experience postnatal development under mechanical loading.

Effects of suckling on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis responses to psychosocial stress in postpartum lactating women [PDF]

, 2001
In several studies lactation has been shown to be associated with a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis hyporesponsiveness to physical and psychological stressors. As it is not known whether the marked blunting of endocrine stress reactivity in women can

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

Tropical 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.

Diagnosis, management and prevention of umbilical infections in bovine youngstock

In Practice, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 119-126, April 2026.
Background: Umbilical infections in calves demonstrate varied presentations, ranging from subclinical to localised swellings to more severe, disseminated infections, with or without associated umbilical hernias. Hygiene is a key modifiable risk factor – good management practices are central to prevention.

HOW NUTRITIONAL VALUE AND CONSUMER’S ACCEPTABILITY OF SUCKLING LAMB MEAT IS AFFECTED BY MATERNAL FEEDING SYSTEM

, 2012
The effects of two lambs rearing systems – suckling from stall-fed (hay and concentrate) or pasture-fed mothers – on carcass characteristics, meat quality, fatty acids composition, vitamin E content and collagen characteristics, were studied in ...

Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide concentrations in the sheep mammary gland, milk, and in the lamb blood plasma after suckling [PDF]

, 2020
Pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is involved in development and reproduction. We previously described elevated PACAP levels in the milk compared to the plasma, and the presence of its specific PAC1 receptor in the mammary gland.

Maternal behaviour and lamb survival: from neuroendocrinology to practical application*

Animal, 2014
Parental care promotes offspring survival and, for livestock species, this care is provided solely by the mother. Maternal behaviour in the sheep has been exceptionally well-studied compared with other species and many of the underpinning biological ...

Maternal Supplementation with Dietary Betaine during Late Gestation Increased Ewe Plasma Creatine and Lamb Thermoregulation under Field Conditions

Animals
Twin lamb mortality is a significant economic problem impacting the Australian sheep industry. Maternal betaine supplementation improved lamb vigour and early post-natal survival when ewes and lambs were housed indoors, suggesting that betaine may be ...

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 ...
