The Effect of Alternative Sheep–Beef Enterprise Mixes on Farm Productivity, Profitability and Predicted Enteric Methane Emissions in North Island Hill Country Farms

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
Sheep or beef cattle (cattle) share of total farm feed consumed, measured in stock units (SU) on New Zealand farms, is often adjusted depending on the profitability of each enterprise. The impact of these adjustments on whole‐farm productivity, profitability and predicted methane (CH4) output has not been recently explored. A system dynamics model of a

The use of Accelerometer Technology to Predict Time Budget and Head Shaking Behaviour in Ewes Managed on Pasture

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study aimed to evaluate a tri‐axial accelerometer attached to a collar to determine the ability to accurately predict rumination, lying, grazing, and head shaking behaviour of ewes on pasture. Collars with accelerometers recording at 1 Hz were attached to 30 Romney type ewes managed in groups of 5.

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

, 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 ...

The Impact of Feeding Organic Trace Minerals Using Advanced Chelate Technology on Reproductive Efficiency and Blood Parameters in Ghezel Ewes

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
Supplementing the flushing diet with organic trace minerals based on advanced chelate technology enhanced the reproductive performance of ewes as compared with inorganic trace minerals. ABSTRACT Background The bioavailability of trace minerals (TM) in a diet is important for improving reproductive performance and fertility parameters.

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.

Carcass and meat quality characteristics of Churra and Assaf suckling lambs

Animal, 2018
Suckling lamb meat is traditionally produced in Mediterranean Europe. Breed can affect the quality of the lamb carcass and meat. This study is aimed at comparing the carcass and meat quality between suckling lambs from a local and a non-native dairy breed, Churra and Assaf.

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

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.
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 ...
