Cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, poultry and other livestock have been an essential part of agriculture and our history as a nation. With the change of agriculture from a way of life to a successful industry, we are losing our agricultural roots. Although we descend from a nation of farmers, few of us can name more than a handful of livestock breeds that are important to our production of food and fiber.

  • Effects of Age and Nutritional Status at Mating on the Reproductive and Productive Traits in Suffolk Sheep Kept Under Permanent Outdoor Management System
    Czech J. Anim. Sci., 62, 2017 (5): 211–218 Original Paper doi: 10.17221/63/2016-CJAS Effects of Age and Nutritional Status at Mating on the Reproductive and Productive Traits in Suffolk Sheep Kept under Permanent Outdoor Management System Martin Ptáček*, Jaromír Ducháček, Luděk Stádník, Milena Fantová Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agrobiology, Food and Natural Resources, Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, Prague, Czech Republic *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ptáček M., Ducháček J., Stádník L., Fantová M. (2017): Effects of age and nutritional status at mating on the reproductive and productive traits in Suffolk sheep kept under permanent outdoor management system. Czech J. Anim. Sci., 62, 211–218. This study examined the variability of reproductive and productive traits in Suffolk sheep (a commercial flock, n = 316 ewes) with regard to the dams’ age or the nutritional status of sheep at mating under a year-round outdoor management. Data were collected across a 3-year monitoring period (totally 655 observations). The fixed effects of dam’s age (dams grouped as: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 years and older), ewe’s live weight (LW; ewes grouped as: < 72 kg; 72–83 kg; > 83 kg), and backfat thickness at mating (BT; ewes grouped as: < 7.9 mm; 7.9–10.5 mm; > 10.5 mm) were evaluated. The dam’s age influenced reproductive and productive traits such that 2- and 6-year and older ewes reached the lowest values. Ewes with LW > 83 kg had significantly higher lambing rate (11.8%) compared to those with LW < 72 kg.
