Context Increasing mating weight or condition score increases the lambing potential of ewes (fetuses scanned per 100 ewes joined). Aim We hypothesised that in some years, condition score would contribute an additional effect to mating weight on lambi

The reproductive performance of Merino ewe lambs is highly variable and generally poor in comparison to older ewes. In this study, we determined the impacts of growth pattern to the end of the mating period and sire genetics on the reproductive perfo

Limited research has suggested that higher lambing densities increase interference from foreign ewes at lambing which disrupts the ewe-lamb bond and compromises lamb survival. This may be particularly evident in mobs of twin-bearing ewes compared to

Sheep production in southern Australia (particularly south west Victoria) is based increasingly on the Maternal Composite ewe, a self-replacing stable crossbred. Breeding programs have focussed on maternal traits such as reproduction and lamb growth.

Knowing the birth date of lambs is important for the accuracy of breeding values, particularly when ranking potential sires for liveweight and growth. We used proximity sensors to measure the daily interactions between ewes and rams to test the hypot

In adult ewes, we tested whether ovarian function, including the response to short-term supplementation, was affected by the nutrition of their mothers during the pre-/post-natal period. A 2×2 factorial design was used with nutrition in early life (

To test whether a nutritional supplement fed from 6 days before until 15 days after insemination reduces progesterone concentrations and increases embryo losses, Merino ewes were artificially inseminated (Day 0). Control ewes (n = 116) were not suppl

We have developed an experimental model in which groups of ewes are simultaneously experiencing the first ovarian follicular wave of their oestrous cycle. We used this ‘first-wave model’ in a 2×2 factorial experiment (ten ewes per group) to stud

Birthweight is the single largest determinant of survival in lambs and can be predicted from ewe liveweight at conception and liveweight changes during pregnancy. These prediction equations are known for Merino ewes, but it is unknown if they are app

The reproductive performance of Merino ewe lambs is lower than that achieved by mature ewes and is highly variable. It is likely that embryo loss represents a major source of reproductive wastage in Merino ewe lambs, but to our knowledge no studies h
