Cholesterol-loaded cyclodextrin (CLC) is known to improve ram sperm cryosurvival. This study expands on previous research to: (1) determine the mechanism by which CLC improves ram sperm cryosurvival and (2) compare the efficiency of a novel, skim mil

The objective of this work was to evaluate the reproductive performance of ewes exposed to a photoperiodic regimen consisting of continuous alternating 4-mo periods of long days (LD: 16 h of light/d) and short days (SHD: 8 h of light/d) in an acceler

The goal of this study was to evaluate the impact of winter rearing environment on the growth performance and meat quality of heavy lambs. Half of sixty-four Dorset lambs (32 males and 32 females) were raised in each of two different environments: wa

Accuracy of live ultrasound measurements to evaluate the total tissue depth (GR), as well as fat and LM depths at different scanning sites, was studied in 96 purebred Suffolk and Dorset lambs of both sexes slaughtered between 36 and 54 kg of BW. Befo

The objective of this project was to assess the impact of periconceptional folic acid supplementation on the reproductive performance of prolific and non-prolific ewes, in the estrous and anestrous seasons. Two initial trials took place during the es

A total of 140 male and female Dorset and Suffolk lambs were slaughtered according to four live weight classes (36–39 kg, 41–44 kg, 46–49 kg and 51–54 kg). Total tissue, fat and lean masses, and bone mineral content measured by dual-energy X-

Seminal plasma aids sperm transport and contains factors beneficial for sperm function. In artificial insemination, however, diluting the semen reduces the concentration of seminal plasma. To test the hypothesis that supplemental seminal plasma in ex

Seventy-nine primiparous crossbred Lacaune ewes were synchronized (in the anestrous season) with progestagen sponges, with mating at 75 or 90 d post-partum. Increasing the post-partum interval from 75 to 90 d improved body condition at mating, lambin

Fresh extended ram semen has a short fertile lifespan whereas acceptable fertility with cryopreserved semen is achieved only by laparoscopy, which limits widespread artificial insemination in sheep. Although glycerol is considered essential for freez

Fifty-one Outaouais Arcott ewes were used to study the effects of silage maturity, protein level and number of lambs suckled on milk production and lamb growth in a 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design experiment. Ewes were given ad libitum access to either
