Circadian, feeding, and locomotor activities of artificially reared lambs measured by actigraphy
Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2023 Eight artificially reared lambs were used to study locomotory and feeding activities in the first three weeks of life by actigraphy. Lambs were fitted with a Bluetooth-enabled (BT) accelerometer and data were downloaded as activity counts at 1-min ...

Decline in faecal worm egg counts in lambs suckling ewes treated with lipophilic anthelmintics: Implications for hastening development of anthelmintic resistance [PDF]
, 2018 The aim for this experiment was to look for evidence of milk transfer of anthelmintic actives from ewes to their suckling lambs by reference to lambs' faecal worm egg count (WEC).

Effect of sodium butyrate administered in the concentrate on rumen development and productive performance of lambs in intensive production system during the suckling and the fattening periods [PDF]
, 2015 Summarization: Sodium butyrate (SB) has been shown to improve growth rate, rumen development and health of calves. In intensive lamb production systems, the fattening period starts after a relative short suckling period, and lambs are fed a high ...

An Economic and Environmental Analysis of Virtual Fencing for Precision Grazing
Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The UK grazing livestock sector is challenged by declining farm profitability and stringent environmental policy. Innovative technologies such as virtual fencing could enable a balanced economic and environmental performance of beef production. Virtual fencing is a livestock management tool relying on invisible boundaries perceived as auditory,

Glucose, protein and energy metabolism in suckling and ruminating lambs [PDF]
, 1984 Ruminant lambs were compared with suckling lambs, pair-fed to equal digestible energy intakes. Studies were made of glucose entry rate, by continuous infusion of D-[U-¹⁴C] glucose, protein synthesis, by continuous infusion of L-[side chain-2, 3-³H ...

Density‐dependent habitat selection in plains bison
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 5, July 2026.Using GPS collar data, we tested whether habitat selection of plains bison in Grasslands National Park, Canada, was density dependent. Bison selected for areas of high vegetation productivity far from human activity when population density was low and increased use of lower productivity habitat closer to disturbance as density increased.
