The Impact on Farm Productivity, Profitability and Predicted Enteric Methane Emissions from Varying Weaning Weight of Lambs on New Zealand Sheep and Beef Farms

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
The impact of increasing the weaning weight of lambs on the productivity and profitability of sheep enterprises on New Zealand sheep and beef farms has been investigated without considering greenhouse gas emissions. The study examined the impact of increasing the weaning weight of lambs on sheep enterprise productivity, profitability and predicted ...

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 ...

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

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.

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.
