Lambing performance of Morlam and Dorset ewes under accelerated lambing systems.
Two accelerated lambing systems, Morlam using Morlam sheep (USDA, Beltsville 1966 to 1975) and Camal using Dorset ewes (Cornell 1978 to 1981), were evaluated for first lambing ages, interlambing intervals and conception probabilities. Morlam ewes were continuously exposed to rams over the year, while Camal Dorset ewes were exposed every other month. Morlam lambs were mated as early as 367 d of ...

متن کاملAccelerated lambing using exogenous progesterone and the ram effect.
An experiment was conducted to determine whether controlled internal drug release devices-type G (CIDR-G) could be used in conjunction with the ram effect to advance the breeding season and lambing and thereafter could be reapplied to stimulate breeding of ewes to produce a second lambing in late summer. Finn crossbred and Columbia ewes were treated with CIDR-G from July 6 to 18. Rams, which ha...
متن کاملThe Influence of Time of Lambing on the Performance of Fine Wool Merino Ewes
Observations were carried out at Lismore in western Victoria on the performance of two groups of 250 fine wool Merino ewes mated in spring (November) and autumn (May) respectively. A greater proportion of ewes lambing in spring lambed within 150-170 days after the introduction of the rams than ewes lambing in autumn. The duration of lambing was shorter in spring. There were no significant diffe...
