This study explored the effects of different protein and energy levels on growth performance
and serum biochemical indices of ewes during early and mid-pregnancy. A total of 132 ewes …

In ewe lambs, acceleration of growth and accumulation of both muscle and fat leads to

The objective of the present study was to determine the needs of milk intake (MI) and their
components (ie, lactose, fat, protein, and energy) to increase the average daily gain (ADG) …

A series of artificial lamb rearing experiments was conducted to investigate the effects of milk
replacer protein to energy ratio (CP: ME), pellet fibre level and age at weaning on lamb …

Milkability is defined as the ability of an animal to give a regular, complete, and rapid milk
secretion by the mammary gland in response to a proper milking technique. Indicators of …

The productivity of small ruminants in developing countries remains low although the
animals play an integral role in the livelihoods of smallholder farmers. Current information …

Ewe lamb live weight at breeding is positively associated with reproductive performance and
has led to the recommendation of a minimum breeding live weight of 40 kg. This experiment …
