High‐ and Low‐Protein Maternal Diet During Pregnancy Alter the Offspring Skeletal Muscle Transcriptome and miRNAome in Lamb

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
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 ...

Comparative aspects of resistance to body-cooling in newborn lambs and kids : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 1989
THE PROBLEM OF PERINATAL MORTALITY IN LAMBS AND KIDS Fibre-producing goats are becoming an increasingly important species on New Zealand farms. There is a considerable lack of information about the physiology of goats, especially as it relates to the ...

Enhancing Sheep Health and Welfare Through Sensor Technologies: An Update of Current New Zealand Research

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
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 Effects of Mature Ewe and Hogget Weaning Rates on Sheep Enterprise Productivity, Profitability, and Enteric Methane Emissions on North Island Hill Country Farms

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
A system dynamics model of a sheep enterprise on a New Zealand sheep and beef farm was used to concurrently evaluate productivity, profitability, and predicted enteric methane outputs, allowing farmers to make informed decisions about improving mature ewe weaning rates (lambs weaned/ewe mated) or breeding hoggets.

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.

Development of organs and tissues in lambs raised on Spanish mountain grassland [PDF]

, 2009
The present study was conducted to establish the pattern of body development in grass-raised Churra Tensina lambs. Forty-nine single male lambs were slaughtered at three body-weight intervals, according to the commercial categories of suckling (11.191 ...

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

International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience, Volume 86, Issue 1, February 2026.
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.

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).
