The objective of this paper was to review epidemiology and economic importance sheep and goat pox with special emphasis on both the past and currents aspects. The causative agent of Shee...

The goal is to search for indicators and optimal measures increase labor productivity in sheep breeding, study the profitability of industry, depending on productive, economic biological characteristics. Methods – analysis breeding methods, use modern technologies, as well statistical data domestic foreign markets products their processing. Results project "Technology industrial production mutt...

Blood was sampled from sheep of 3 flocks, selectively bred for either high (Fl+) or low (Fl-) clean fleece weight or randomly bred (R). Under maintenance (M) and, subsequently, sub-maintenance (0.8xM) or supra-maintenance (1.6xM) feeding regimes, Fl+ sheep had significantly lower concentrations of cystine in plasma than R sheep, which in turn had significantly lower concentrations of cystine th...

The success of animal husbandry is supported by good and environmental health management practices. This study examined the correlation between sheep farmer’s characteristics data collected direct interviews with 48 respondents in Batur Village, Banjarnegara. Indonesia. aspects (exercise, grooming, wool shearing, supplement feeding, water drinking) (sheepfold sanitation, waste processing, remov...

T HE data in the literature do not clearly indicate the value of inorganic sulfur supplements in ruminant rations. Recently Garrigus et al. (1950) obtained data using a low-sulfur, semipurified ration which suggested that elemental sulfur could be utilized by sheep as measured by weight gains and wool growth. Block and Stekol (1950) showed that when NaoS~504 was administered orally to a cow the...

Genetic parameters and trends are very important to know about the genetic gain effectiveness of selection. The present study was conducted on 8,872 records Rambouillet sheep maintained at Government Sheep Breeding Research Farm, Reasi, Jammu, Jammu Kashmir, India over a period 20 years from 1996 2015. performance traits studied in investigation were birth weight (BW), weaning (WW), nine-month ...

The conversion of methionine to cyst(e)ine was determined in sheep infused with different amounts of methionine (0-5 g/d) into the duodenum by assaying the incorporation of 35S from intravenously-infused L-[35S]methionine into cyst(e)ine in wool, plasma albumin and the free plasma pool. The percentage of cystine-S in the plasma originating from methionine increased linearly from 4.5 to 18 with ...
