Unveiling the Pre-Weaning Growth Performance and Some Reproductive Characteristics of Akkaraman and Central Anatolian Merino Sheep. [PDF]
This study evaluates growth and reproductive traits in Akkaraman (AKK) and Central Anatolian Merino (CAM) sheep in Türkiye. AKK lambs showed higher birth weights but lower weaning weights and growth rates compared to CAM lambs. Significant non‐genetic factors, such as sex, birth type and dam age, influenced these traits.

Exploring the Genetic Basis of Ketosis: Preliminary GWAS Findings on Beta-Hydroxybutyrate Levels in Holstein Cattle. [PDF]
Ketosis is a metabolic condition characterized by a shift in energy metabolism, occurring when glucose availability is depleted and fat becomes the alternative primary energy source, resulting in the accumulation of ketone bodies. In dairy cattle, ketosis represents a significant challenge, adversely affecting both animal health and farm productivity ...
