Lack of capture‐induced mortality of neonates associated with variation in handling protocols

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We found that handling metrics (e.g., handling time, number of collectors, and age at capture) had limited or no influence on the survival of neonatal mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, and Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep within the first few days of life. Furthermore, we found that handled mule deer and Rocky Mountain bighorn neonates were recruited at a ...

EFFECT OF FEEDING SEASON ON REPRODUCTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE TRAITS OF EWES AND SUCKLING LAMBS [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2003
This paper aims to investigate feeding season effect (winter and summer) on reproductive and productive traits of the ewes and suckling lambs. Biological investigations were conducted on 60 Merinolandschaf breed ewes aged 4 years on the average and ...

Ontological polyglossia: the art of communicating in opacity* Polyglossie ontologique : l'art de communiquer dans l'opacité

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
What do communicating with a baby, with an animal, and with an ancestor have in common? In all three cases, people engage in opaque communication that is far from the standard psycholinguistic model of transparent interaction based on shared intentionality.

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.

Large‐scale reproductive loss in sheep due to Border disease virus infection, New South Wales, Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Border disease viruses (BDV) and bovine viral diarrhoea viruses (BVDV) are members of the Pestivirus genus in the family Flaviviridae. While BVDV is one of the most significant endemic viral infections of cattle in Australia, BDV infection is generally considered to be uncommon in Australian sheep.

Effects of maternal subnutrition during early pregnancy on cow hematological profiles and offspring physiology and vitality in two beef breeds [PDF]

, 2019
This experiment evaluated the effects of subnutrition during early gestation on hematology in cows (Bos Taurus) and on hematological, metabolic, endocrine, and vitality parameters in their calves.

Genetic Parameter Estimation for Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Energy Reserves During Critical Physiological Stages in Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ability of ruminants to mobilise and restore body reserves (BR) over time, referred to as BR dynamics, is currently considered an interesting biological component to be included in breeding programs targeting enhanced BR resilience. However, genetic studies of proxies for BR levels and BRD remain scarce, particularly in small ruminants ...

Seasonal variation in the fatty acid profile in meat of Sarda suckling lambs

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2019
This study evaluated temporal changes in fatty acid (FA) composition of meat from Sarda suckling lambs reared in Sardinia, with emphasis on polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
