Consumer Appreciation of Carcass Quality of Organic vs Conventional Suckling Lamb Production [PDF]
Carcass characteristics of sucking lambs (n= 40) of two breeds reared under conventional and organic conditions were analysed including objective and subjective parameters for fatness and conformation, meat and fat colour.

Size of Lipoproteins in Intestinal Lymph of Sheep and Suckling Lambs [PDF]
The relative importance of chylomicrons (Sf> 400) and very low density lipoproteins (Sf 20-400) in transporting lipids in lymph was investigated in surgically prepared adult sheep and pre-ruminant lambs fed low fat diets or infused intraduodenally with corn oil.

ABSTRACT Microalgae are a highly diverse group of unicellular organisms that grow in a wide range of aquatic environments and are widely used as dietary supplements for both human and animal applications. Microalgae are rich in lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and other valuable bioactive components such as pigments, antioxidants and vitamins.

The use of feed blocks as supplementation for the upland hill flock: (2) Cost effective lamb production [PDF]
This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference of the Colloquium of Organic Researchers (COR).Under EU organic livestock regulations introduced in 2000, new restrictions were placed on the use of bought-in feedstuffs in hill systems.

Maternal nutrition during gestation is a crucial factor affecting offspring development. This study explores the impact of maternal dietary protein levels on the transcriptome and miRNAome of skeletal muscle in lambs. Twelve Akkaraman breed ewes were assigned to three dietary groups—standard (SP, 119–198 g/day), high (HP, 160–270 g/day), and low (LP ...

CONVERSION OF A LAMB PRODUCTION SYSTEM TO ORGANIC FARMING: HOW TO MANAGE, FOR WHICH RESULTS? [PDF]
Two sheep flocks were managed organically (for two years from conversion onwards) under different lambing strategies (1 lambing/year vs. 3 lambings every two years).

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 behaviour and health of dairy lambs reared artificially with and without early access to meal : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Animal Science at Massey University. [PDF]
Many large-scale dairy sheep producers use lamb-rearing systems and provide lambs with milk replacer (MR) ad libitum and grain-based meal to accelerate rumen development to support early weaning methods.

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