Wesselsbron Virus‐Induced Hepatitis in Ewes and Lambs Unraveled Through Machine Learning‐Driven Digital Histopathology [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Wesselsbron virus (WSLV) disease is an important neglected cause of hepatitis in ruminants with potential for zoonotic transmission, yet its histological lesions have been scarcely studied. We performed a thorough machine learning‐driven, pathologist‐led digital histopathological assessment of WSLV–induced hepatitis in ewes and lambs infected with ...

Progestagens Monitoring in 147 Mares in Order to Induce Foaling With Oxytocin

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Parturition was induced when the progestagens concentration fell of about 50% within 24 to 48 h. Induction was performed at 9 p.m. in 93 mares that followed the rule of the drop of progestagens, by a single IM oxytocin injection from 10 to 50 UI according to the weight of the mare (120 to 900 kg).

Genetic Evaluation of Reproductive Traits of Ethiopian Sheep Breeds Under Community‐Based Breeding Programmes

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 1, Page 105-118, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of breeding schemes against established objectives and selection traits is essential for assessing the performance, outputs, and overall impacts of breeding programmes. In Ethiopia, most Community‐Based Breeding Programmes (CBBPs) have prioritised growth traits, particularly live weight, as the main selection criteria.

Influence of outdoor and indoor rearing system of suckling lambs on fatty acid profile and lipid oxidation stability of raw and cooked meat

Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2013
Effect of outdoor (OUT) or indoor (IND) rearing systems (RS) of 48 male and female Sarda suckling lambs on fatty acid (FA) composition and lipid oxidation of raw and cooked meat was studied. Ewes grazed daily on natural pasture for 6 hours.

Influence of ewe metabolic status on failure of passive transfer of immunity and lamb production in a UK lowland flock

Veterinary Record, Volume 197, Issue 12, Page e297-e310, 13-27 December 2025.
Abstract Background Inadequate ewe nutrition is an important driver for neonatal lamb losses, although the association of ewe metabolic status with lamb passive transfer status is poorly understood. This study investigates the relationship between ewe metabolic status, neonatal lamb losses, failure of passive transfer of immunity (FPTI) and lamb growth.

A review of pasture mixes and management strategies to reduce the impact of facial eczema in New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1265-1287, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In New Zealand, facial eczema (FE) is a serious health and welfare issue for grazing ruminants caused by ingesting toxic spores of the fungus Pseudopithomyces chartarum. A literature review of research about the effect of pasture plant species, farm management practices and associated environmental factors on FE in New Zealand, was undertaken.

Pasture productivity in New Zealand 1990–2020: trends, expectations, and key factors

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 68, Issue 6, Page 1221-1264, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Pasture productivity gains are critical for maintaining global competitiveness of New Zealand’s $38 billion p.a. animal product export industries. This review reveals that gains in pasture eaten on dairy farms declined sharply after ∼ 2001/02, from +1.48% yr−1 to +0.26% yr−1 despite continued increases in nitrogen (N) fertiliser use, stocking ...
