متن کاملParasites in sheep grazing on Kikuyu (Pennisetum clandestinum) pastures in the winter rainfall region.
Regular worm counts were done post-mortem on sheep that had grazed on Kikuyu pastures at the Elsenburg Research Station near Stellenbosch, a winter rainfall region. Major species were Trichostrongylus colubriformis, Trichostrongylus axei, while Ostertagia circumcincta was usually present in large numbers. Minor species were Haemonchus contortus, Nematodirus spathiger, Dictyocaulus filaria, Oeso...
متن کاملA Study of Reproductive Wastage among Commerical Sheep Flocks Grazing Oestrogenic Pastures in South Western Australia
Reproductive wastage was investigated over two seasons in ten Merino flocks grazing pastures based on oestrogenic subterranean clover. Only 65 percent of ewes were served during the first 16 days of joining. Ovulation rates were low, averaging 1.13. Fertilization rates (73%) were low when compared with flocks unaffected by oestrogenic pastures. Embryonic mortality varied considerably between pr...
متن کاملGrazing behavior and energy expenditure by sheep and goats co-grazing grass/forb pastures at three stocking rates
A study was conducted to assess effects of stocking rate (SR) on grazing behavior and energy expenditure (EE) by growing sheep and goat wethers co-grazing grass/forb pastures. Grazing was for 16-week periods in 2002 and 2003. Pastures consisted of various grasses, primarily bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) and johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), and forbs (e.g., ragweed; Ambrosia spp.). Sheep (Kha...
متن کاملBrief Update on Research in Nutrition of Dairy Sheep
Dairy sheep may take advantages from all aspects of research conducted in the field of animal science and biology. There are, however, laboratories that specifically work in that field and have a direct objective of improvement of dairy sheep breeding. In the field of nutrition, an important body of work has been done in a collaborative EEC project involving France (INRA ; Barillet and Bocquier...
