Sheep Newz #14 Autumn 2019
Sheep NewZ #14 Autumn 2019 Hello Members, ASSOCIATION NEWS & VIEWS Thanks to all who have supported this issue of “Sheep NewZ”. It would be good to have some more photos/articles From The President each time other than those on the feature breed. I wonder how much money is being spent on bureaucracy in Hope everyone has had a great time over the the wool research, development and promotion sectors? holiday season. The weather was great here There seem to be several companies with great mission in the south over the summer and everyone statements but is anything much actually happening out seemed to be having lots of fun. there? NZ Merino seems to be achieving the most in both Lambs and ewes are bringing record prices this season advertising their product and developing new uses. which is very pleasing. However the same old fiddle plays Some of the Companies and their mission statements are: - the same old tune to try and bring prices down such as the Wool Research Organisation of New Zealand, “To uncertainty of the Brexit deal, Trump, and the Chinese promote, encourage and fund scientific or industry research economy which shows how we can be exposed so quickly. and information transfer that relates to the post harvest wool Hopefully common sense will prevail and our prices stay up industry” Several projects on going from 2013 – results?? at a reasonable level. Wool Industry Research Ltd – a subsidiary of the above “Focus on investment in research which increases the value It is really disappointing to see our farm training institutes and competiveness of commercial NZ wool based activity facing difficult times. -

Naile Breeds Listing
NAILE BREEDS LISTING The North American Livestock Exposition displays many breeds of animals. Below you will find a list of breeds that are represented during the exposition. While most people in the livestock industry seem to be striving for the perfect animals, perfection is probably not quite possible today. There are so many different breeds of beef cattle and dairy cattle and swine for a variety of reasons. Different characteristics are preferred in different climates and geographic areas, for example. Human preferences for animal characteristics differ, too. Some farmers may prefer to raise leaner beef cattle to meet the demands of a specific market. Each breed has its own particular characteristics, and shows at the North American usually judge an animal against others in the same breed. The Department of Animal Science at Oklahoma State University have developed areas on their Website to give further information and a brief history of many of these breeds, plus much additional information on livestock. (www.ansi.okstate.edu/breeds) BEEF CATTLE Beef cattle are divided into shows by breed, which are co-sponsored by their breed association. Cattle are judged for breeding characteristics that vary from one beef breed to another. Overall quality and health are also very important. In a funny way, beef cattle competition is similar to human body building competition. Judges look for muscle development and minimal fat. Size is important, but extreme body characteristics are not usually favored. The profitability of the cattle – how much money they are likely to bring at market – is tied into the animal’s efficiency: how effectively it can translate grass and hay into quality meat. -

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Lamb Rearing Performance in Highly Fecund Sheep J ulie Marie Everett-Hincks 2004 This thesis is presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand The Massey University Animal Ethics Committee has approved the studies involving animal manipulations I have prepared this thesis and it is a record of my own work. I took the photos of the sheep, unless otherwise specified. Abstract This thesis investigates ewe and lamb behaviour, genetics and environmental effects to determine whether lamb rearing petformancecan be improved in highly fecund heep. The studies were carried out under commercial pastoral farming conditions. High performing sheep farmers were surveyed to identify management and performance practices that differentiate farms with high and low lamb rearing ucces . Farmers agreed that mothering ability was the most important factor affecting lamb urvival and considered lamb survival to be the most important trait affecting fann profit. The survey identified the Coopwotth breed as the predominant breed of high lambing percentage flocks. Heritability estimates were derived for lamb survival (h2= 0. 1 6), ewe maternal behaviour score (h2= 0.05) and litter survival (h2= 0.00) in a Coopworth flock that had been selected fo r improved maternal ability fo r nearly 30 year . Maternal genetic variation in the Coopworth flock was low fo r lamb and maternal traits and suggests that farmers must con ider the environment and management technique to improve lamb survival. -

In addition to energy, colostrum provides immunoglobulins which ensure passive systemic immunity. Therefore, getting early access to the udder is essential for the neonate. The results from the literature reviewed here highlight the importance of the birth site as the location where the mutual bonding between the mother and her young takes place. -

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Genetics of flystrike, dagginess and associated traits in New Zealand dual-purpose sheep A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Natalie Kathleen Pickering 2013 Genetics of flystrike and dagginess in New Zealand dual-purpose sheep “The greatest benefit of dag control or elimination may come from reduced fly strike” V. J. Mackereth (1983), an astute breeder. ii Abstract Abstract Pickering, N. K. (2013). Genetics of flystrike, dagginess and associated traits in New Zealand dual-purpose sheep. PhD thesis, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand. A literature review identified breech bareness, dagginess and fibre traits as potential indirect indicator traits for flystrike. Dagginess (faecal accumulation) had the greatest potential as an indirect indicator, and has been identified as an important trait itself. Therefore flystrike and dagginess were investigated for their associations with fibre and production traits. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed to identify regions under selection and associated with these traits. Finally, a genomic selection (GS) analysis was performed for dagginess and dual-purpose production traits to estimate molecular breeding values (MBVs) and to determine their impact on the New Zealand dual-purpose selection index. Heritability, genetic and phenotypic parameter estimations were performed on a flystrike case-control dataset collected over 2 years. -
