Genetic Parameter Estimation for Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Energy Reserves During Critical Physiological Stages in Sheep

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 3, Page 443-456, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The ability of ruminants to mobilise and restore body reserves (BR) over time, referred to as BR dynamics, is currently considered an interesting biological component to be included in breeding programs targeting enhanced BR resilience. However, genetic studies of proxies for BR levels and BRD remain scarce, particularly in small ruminants ...

Image_1_Diarrhea in suckling lambs is associated with changes in gut microbiota, serum immunological and biochemical parameters in an intensive production system.JPEG

, 2022
The incidence of diarrhea in lambs is frequent in large-scale sheep farms, which greatly impacts the growth and health of lambs. The aim of this study was to assess the changes in serum biochemical and immunological parameters and gut microbiome ...

Current Trends, Future Prospects and Constraints of Whole Microalgae and Their Fractions as a Functional Feed Ingredient for Animals

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 324-338, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Microalgae are a highly diverse group of unicellular organisms that grow in a wide range of aquatic environments and are widely used as dietary supplements for both human and animal applications. Microalgae are rich in lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and other valuable bioactive components such as pigments, antioxidants and vitamins.

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.

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.

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 influence of the number of lambs present on the suckling behaviour of triplet-rearing ewes at pasture [PDF]

This study examined the suckling behaviour of triplet-rearing ewes for three days post-parturition. Twenty-six ewes were enrolled with 11 being observed for the entire 3-days post-lambing.
