Enhancing Sheep Health and Welfare Through Sensor Technologies: An Update of Current New Zealand Research

open access: yesNew 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

The Effects of Mature Ewe and Hogget Weaning Rates on Sheep Enterprise Productivity, Profitability, and Enteric Methane Emissions on North Island Hill Country Farms

open access: yesNew 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.

The Ontogenetic Development of Rapid Eye Movement Sleep in Early Life and Its Regulatory Mechanisms

open access: yesInternational Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, Volume 86, Issue 1, February 2026.
REM sleep was first identified in humans and cats in the late 1950s and exhibits a conserved developmental trajectory across species. This study elucidates key characteristic changes during REM sleep development, thereby providing a foundation for improving the prevention and treatment of various neurodevelopmental disorders.
