Despite much attention, history of sheep (Ovis aries) evolution, including its dating, demographic trajectory and geographic spread, remains controversial. To address these questions, we generated 45 complete and 875 partial mitogenomic sequences, and performed a meta-analysis of these and publis...

Sperm production of the Yankasa ram was investigated to determine the gonadal and extra-gonadal sperm reserves. Biometric measurements and sperm reserve evaluation were made on 7 Yankasa rams aged between 2 to 3 years. The mean body weight of the rams was 30.0 ± 3.1 kg; height at withers 70.0 ± 3...

The blood cellular elements of thirty desert sheep are reported. Values obtained are in agreement with those previously published in other countries with a slight insignificant increase or decrease. Determination of the serum total and differential proteins gave an average value of 6.93 + 0.465 g...

The study was conducted in Burie District to assess the sheep production system and to identify and prioritize the sheep production constraints. Informal and formal surveys were conducted in four selected kebeles of Burie District, namely, Woheni Durebetie, Woyenema Ambaye, Denbun and Boko Tabo. ...

To date, investigations of genetic diversity and the origins of domestication in sheep have utilised autosomal microsatellites and variation in the mitochondrial genome. We present the first analysis of both domestic and wild sheep using genetic markers residing on the ovine Y chromosome. Analysi...

Groundnut haulms along with cowpea hay
are major crop residues used for animal fattening in the West African Sahel. In traditional sheep fattening,feeds are always provided ad-hoc and in an unregulated
fashion, which is rather wasteful. As a preliminary study to establish the optimal feeding leve...

Genetic parameters for growth traits in Sabi sheep were estimated using from data records of 4123 lambs from 130 sires and 1131 dams collected between 1984 and 1994. Reproduction traits and lamb survival to weaning were analysed fitting a sire threshold model. The direct additive contribution t...
