The aim of this article was to study opportunities for improvement of the indigenous and threatened Red Maasai sheep (RM) in Kenya, by comparing purebreeding with crossbreeding with Dorper sheep (D) as a terminal breed, in two different environments (Env. A and a harsher Env. B), assuming differe...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved, small, non-coding RNAs that have emerged as key regulators of myogenesis. Here, we examined the miRNA expression profiles of developing sheep skeletal muscle using a deep sequencing approach. We detected 2,396 miRNAs in the sheep skeletal muscle ti...

Studies the breed characteristics of Djallonke sheep in Cameroon. Discussions on morphology, reproduction, selection and socio-economic evaluation details given. Performance in terms of prolificacy, fecundity, birth weight, milk yield as measured by lamb daily gain and mortality included. Recomme...

The productive performances of Tswana and Boer goats, and Dorper sheep were investigated. Comparative performance on productivity per ewe/doe and young mortality in pure Tswana and Boer goats and Dorper sheep in Botswana were examined. The local breeds were superior for use in communal areas prac...

A feeding experiment was carried out in which adult ewes of the Ethiopian Highland Menz breed grazed on meadow pasture were supplemented with urea-molasses block and/or Noug cake. There was low consumption of urea-molasses block (67g/d) and its contribution to total nitrogen requirements was mini...

Two populations of B lymphocytes. B-1 (CD5- and or CD1 lb-) and B-2 (CD5- and CD1 lb-) cells have been described. In mice, which is the species of reference for B-1 and B-2 cell studies, these two subsets present different developmental schemes, phenotypes, antibody repertoires, localization and ...

Two Tsigai sheep populations exist in Serbia: the Old type, called Cokan, and the New type. It is assumed that the New type results from upgrading Tsigai sheep with exotic genetic material. We investigated genetic diversity and differentiation of these types by analysing 23 autosomal microsatelli...

Prioritizing livestock breeds for conservation needs to incorporate both genetic and non-genetic aspects important for the survival of the breeds. Here, we apply a maximum-utility-strategy to prioritize 14 traditional Ethiopian sheep breeds based on their threat status, contributions to farmer li...

The feed resources base, the feeding systems and feed values of three indigenous trees Girawa, Anfare and Kelewa (Local (Amharic), Ethiopian names ) were studied for sheep in sub humid, mid altitude area of south western Ethiopia. The study involved a survey of the feed resources base and assessm...

An experiment was conducted to examine the effects of mixed grazing of sheep plus cattle under continuous stocking of permanent pasture at different sward heights. The experiment had a 2 × 3 factorial design, with two sward surface heights (4-5 and 8-10 cm) and three combinations of animal specie...
