To butt or not to butt: Suckling tactics in lambs

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1987
It is generally assumed that milk ejection has to be actively elicited and that actions such as udder massage and butting achieve this. However, although the broad outlines of suckling in sheep and its development with time have been described (Ewbank, 1967), no attempt has been made to develop a quantitative description of the individual acts and ...

FOOD INTAKE CONTROL IN SUCKLING LAMBS

Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 1984
The increased fat content of milk diet diminished food intake in suckling lambs. A singificant inhibitory effect on food intake was also observed after the administration of glucose and lactose per os. It is supposed that food intake is regulated through peripheral lipostatic and glucostatic mechanisms.

Breed effect on carcase and meat quality of suckling lambs

Meat Science, 1997
The influence of breed on carcase and meat quality traits was studied in 48 suckling lambs (approximately 1 month old) from the Churra, Castellana and Manchega Spanish breeds and Awassi crosses. Carcase quality traits were determined by visual assessment and objective measurements. Meat quality was assessed by instrumental and sensory analysis.

Illthrift in suckling lambs attributed to lung pyogranuloma formation

Veterinary Record, 2009
A WIDE range of factors may cause or contribute to illthrift in suckling lambs ([Radostits and others 2000][1]). Chronic respiratory infections are recognised as a very important cause of retarded growth in lambs, one of them being lung abscessation, in which illthrift is attributed to toxaemia ([

Suckling behaviour and the transfer of immunoglobulins in neonatal lambs

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1992
The passive transfer of immunoglobulins from colostrum is essential to protect neonatal lambs against infection until their own immune defense systems are fully developed. Adequate intakes of immunoglobulins must be achieved within the first 24h after birth because thereafter “gut closure” precludes any further antibody uptake. The degree of protection

Observations on the suckling habits of twin lambs

Animal Behaviour, 1964
Abstract A dawn to dusk watch, repeated at weekly intervals for 10 weeks and followed by a further watch a fortnight later, was carried out on a flock of 30 ewes and their 15 single lambs and 15 pairs of twin lambs. A total of 2,106 observations were made on the frequency with which lambs suckled and on the sides of the ewes which twin lambs used ...

Observations on the suckling behaviour of young lambs

The British Journal of Animal Behaviour, 1956
Summary Under natural conditions, twin lamps up to 6 weeks old, suckled on average 22 times in 16 daylight hours. Single lambs suckled on average 14 times in 6 daylight hours. The duration of suckling periods became shorter and less frequent as the lambs grew older.

Ewe colostrum and subsequent lamb suckling behaviour

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 1996
Behavioural and colostral data were obtained from 70 parous Border Leicester x Merino ewes (and their lambs) that lambed in 0.25 ha paddocks. Data collected included a colostral sample immediately postpartum, lamb weight and temperature, site of parturition and lamb sucking attempts to 48 h post-partum. Colostrum dry matter percentage was 56.5 for ewes

The effect of lack of vision on suckling behaviour of lambs

Applied Animal Ethology, 1975
Abstract Lambs which had all previously suckled were taken from their mother between 2 h and 2 days after birth and deprived of food for a variable period. When one of a pair of twin lambs was blindfolded and put back either in or out of physical contact with its mother it did not suckle.
