Methane (CH4) emission traits were previously found to be heritable and repeatable in sheep fed alfalfa pellets in respiration chambers (RC). More rapid screening methods are, however, required to increase genetic progress and to provide a cost-effec

AIMS: To explore and validate the utility of rumen endoscopy for collection of rumen papillae for gene expression measurement. METHODS: Four adult Coopworth ewes were fasted for either 4 or 24 hours. Animals were sedated, placed in a dorsally recumbe

Genetic parameters for ewes were estimated for stayability (STAY) and productive life (Prodlife). Records from 658,871 animals from 241 seed stock or ram breeder flocks and one research flock were used to estimate parameters for ram breeder flock STA

Between the mid 1970s and the end of the 1980s a research programme evaluated hybridisation of red deer, initially with wapiti‐type captured animals and then with purebred wapiti imported from Canada. The cost of the research programme in 2001 doll

The common method for synchronizing oestrus in brushtail possums is by removal of their pouch young (RPY). However, there is little information on the ovarian response to this treatment, the timing and incidence of ovulation is poorly defined, and me

The common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula), introduced from Australia about 150 years ago, has become a major pest threatening the native biota of New Zealand. It is also an important disease vector, acting as a wildlife reservoir of infecti

Oestrous activity was monitored at two locations (Invermay in Otago and Woodlands in Southland) in ewe flocks of similar age structure, synchronised at the beginning of the breeding season each year for 5 years (1991–95). After an 11 ‐day CIDR tr

BACKGROUND Although the pattern of gonadal differentiation in marsupials is well documented, there is little information available on germ cell initiation and development. Furthermore, neither parameter has been well described for the brushtail possu

Romney ewes grazed pasture initially containing 0 (C), 30 (M), or 60% (P) Pawera red clover for c. 6 months per year (spring-autumn) during the first 4 (P) or 5 (M) years of a 6-year study. When not grazing red clover, all animals grazed C-type pastu

Ewes heterozygous (I+) for the Inverdale prolificacy gene (FecX1) located on the X chromosome have ovulation rates approximately 1.0 times higher than noncarriers (++). The aims of this study were to examine, in I+ and ++ ewes, the peripheral plasma
