Reproduction Efficiency and Health Traits in Dorper, White Dorper, and Tsigai Sheep Breeds Under Temperate European Conditions [PDF]
The objective of the current pilot study was to evaluate the reproductive performance and health indicators in Dorper, White Dorper, and Tsigai breed ewes managed semi-intensively under European temperate conditions. A total of 544 ewe-year units were observed, with ewes (ranging from 1.5 to 8 years of age) managed under identical rearing conditions ...

Hungarian Indigenous Tsigai, a Promising Breed for Excellent Heat Tolerance and Immunity [PDF]
The adverse effects of climate change on sheep farming have become more noticeable in recent decades. Extensive efforts have been made to untangle the complex relationship between heat tolerance, animal health, and productivity, also to identify a resilient and economically suitable breed for selection that can be resilient to future climate change ...

Chemical Composition and Biological Protein Value of Milk of Tsigai Sheep and Their F2 Cross-Breeds of Chios [PDF]
The composition of milk was studied from purebred Tsigai sheep and F2 cross-breeds with Chios breed from 4th to 6th month of lactation, raised on a mountain pasture. The chemical analysis samples were taken from each sheep in the period of April-June. The content of fat, protein and amino acids was determined in individual samples and total

Effect of Temperament of Ewes on Their Maternal Ability and Their Lambs’ Postweaning Traits in Tsigai Breed [PDF]
Abstract. The aims of present study were to investigate the relationship between temperament score and cortisol and lactic acid levels of blood, as well as the effect of temperament on the maternal ability traits (milk production, lamb preweaning gain) and the postweaning growth of lambs in Tsigai breed.

The Tsigai Breed in Eurasian Sheep Breeding
The aim of the study is to conduct an analysis using a literature review that briefly reflects the issues of sheep domestication and breed formation, as well as the origin, evolution and formation of intra-breed types of Tsigai sheep against the background of various natural and climatic conditions of the Eurasian continent and their influence on the ...

Comparison of External Udder Measurements of the Sheep Breeds Improved Valachian, Tsigai, Lacaune and Their Crosses [PDF]
Morphological udder traits have recently become of greater interest from farmers to researchers. In dairy ewes, the udder is very important due to its physiological and conformational characteristics. External udder traits were measured in ewes ( Ovis aries L.) of nine genotypes (355 ewes) created of the basis of Improved Valachian (IV), Tsigai (T ...

Amino Acid Composition of Sheep Milk From the Tsigai Breed
The amino acid composition of total protein in sheep milk obtained from ewes of Tsigai breed during the grazing season (April - July) in 2002 was determined. The variation in the amounts of total protein and the dry fat-free residue in the milk produced during the grazing season exercise impact on its amino acid composition.
