Dynamics of postnatal bone development and epiphyseal synostosis in the caprine autopod

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 4, Page 417-429, April 2026.
Abstract Background Bones develop to structurally balance strength and mobility. Bone developmental dynamics are influenced by whether an animal is ambulatory at birth. Precocial species, which are ambulatory at birth, develop advanced skeletal maturity in utero and experience postnatal development under mechanical loading.

Diagnosis, management and prevention of umbilical infections in bovine youngstock

In Practice, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 119-126, April 2026.
Background: Umbilical infections in calves demonstrate varied presentations, ranging from subclinical to localised swellings to more severe, disseminated infections, with or without associated umbilical hernias. Hygiene is a key modifiable risk factor – good management practices are central to prevention.

The fatty acid composition of longissimus <i>lumborum</i> muscle of suckling and earlyweaned dual-purpose wool/meat lambs [PDF]

, 2012
. Twenty-four dual purpose (wool/meat) suckling and early weaned ram lambs were used to study the fatty acid profile in intramuscular fat of longissimus lumborum muscle and lipid oxidation in blood serum.

Lambs prevented from suckling their mothers display behavioural, immune and endocrine disturbances [PDF]

, 2003
The aim of the experiment was to assess the effects of either maternal deprivation or prevented suckling on lambs. Thirty Comisana lambs were assigned to a control dam-suckled group (DS) and two test groups of 10 each.

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

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.

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 suckling on response to nematode parasites in young lambs [PDF]

, 2007
The series of experiments described in this thesis were designed to investigate the role of suckling or late weaning in the response of young lambs to nematode infection. All experiments were conducted outdoors with grazing animals and no supplementation

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.

Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of difructose anhydride III (NITTEN DFA III) for female bovines, ovines, caprines in the periparturient period and neonates fed colostrum and milk/milk replacer in early life (Nippon Beet Sugar Manufacturing Co., Ltd)

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA was asked to deliver a scientific opinion on the safety and efficacy of difructose anhydride III as a zootechnical feed additive (functional group: physiological condition stabilisers) for neonatal and female adult bovines, caprines and ovines.
