  • Lamb Rearing Performance in Highly Fecund Sheep

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.

If you want wool for fiber arts, or if you like spring lamb but can’t find (or afford) it in local markets, you don’t have to be convinced. But if you Shave a little extra pasture land that’s not enough for a beef cow, or if you’d rather raise and butcher several smaller meat animals than one large one, sheep certainly deserve consideration. BUYING A common way to get started with sheep is to buy grade ewes and a purebred ram. But whatever you buy, there are certain things to look for. In the ram, be especially conscious of the condition of the animal’s feet and legs. A ram without good legs and feet will not do his job. Avoid buying rams with ques- tionable semen quality.

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.
