The genetic diversity and prevalence of virtually all Theileria and Babesia species in a
sheep population were studied using a specifically designed reverse line blot macroarray …

Abstract Between January and July 1992, 8403 monthly test day records were obtained from
3202 ewes from 22 Churra dairy flocks in the Castilla-León region of Spain. Variables …

Milk production is largely related to the shape of the lactation curve. Key elements of the
lactation pattern are peak yield, which is the maximum daily yield reached during lactation …

A total of 3119 test day records for milk yield, somatic cell count (SCC), and contents of fat,
protein, casein, serum protein, lactose, and total solids were obtained weekly from 155 …

The Assaf breed of dairy sheep, a stabilized cross of the Awassi and East Friesian breeds,
has replaced the Awassi as the breed of choice in its country of origin, Israel, and has …

The objectives of this work were 1) to compare the goodness-of-fit of empirical models of the
lactation curve and 2) to analyze the factors affecting the shapes of the lactation curves, the …

This study investigated the factors affecting milk production and lactation curve parameters
from the complete lactations of Awassi dairy sheep. The animals were kept in a single flock …

Genetic parameters for milk yield, contents of fat, total protein, casein and serum protein,
individual laboratory cheese yield, and somatic cell counts (SCC) were estimated from 7492 …

Simple Summary The New Zealand dairy sheep industry is relatively new, and more studies
are needed to support New Zealand dairy sheep farms for more efficient production. The …

Test-day records of purebred Tsigai, Improved Valachian and Lacaune ewes were analysed
with a general linear model in order to investigate the effects of flock-test day, lactation …
