The present study aimed to analyze the live weight (LW) and some body measurements estimate LW of lambs in five different meat-type sheep breeds reared same flock under intensive conditions. A total 202 head lambs, including both genders Kivircik (K), Bandirma (B), Karacabey Merino (KM), Hampshire Down x crossbreed (HM), Ramlic (R), were conducted this study. Birth weights ranged between 3.94-5...

ABSTRACT Due to the conditions in which traditional sheep production systems operate, evaluation of animal growth from live weight (LW) is limited by high cost livestock scale as well sophisticated maintenance required. In this scenario, recent years, biometric measurements have been investigated an accurate indirect method predict LW farm animals. Therefore, present study was undertaken examin...

The dairy cow nmy rely heavily on body fat reserves as an energy source in early lactation. The extent to which milk may be produced from this energy source will be restricted by condition of the animal at the time of parturit ion. Data from this laboratory suggest that milk may be produced from body tissue reserves with an efficiency of 82 to 84% and that the body tissue reserves may be replen...
