Publikováno v: Animal Science. 70:363-369

This study compared the effect on foetal growth of shearing ewes in very early pregnancy (day 50) with the effect of shearing later in pregnancy (day 70 or 100). One hundred and sixty ewes were allocated at day 49 of pregnancy to four ‘time of shea

South Australian Merino sheep were selected on the basis of high or low estimated breeding values (EBV) for wool growth rate (W), but with similar bodyweight, follicle density, and mean fibre diameter. Differences in the level of expression of kerati

This study was designed to determine whether dam nutrition during mid to latepregnancy influences birthweight responses from pregnancy shearing.Romney-cross ewes were either shorn during mid pregnancy(n = 68) or left unshorn (n= 66). Ewes were offere

To investigate the potential role of cysteine in the increased parasite susceptibility of sheep selected for increased wool production, ten 2-year-old rams from both fleece-weight-selected (FW) and randomly selected (C) Romney lines received either 2
