  • Dormer Manual
    Dormer Manual Revised Edition 2016 1 2 1. THE ESTABLISHMENT AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE DORMER BREED The Dormer is a South African bred white wool mutton sheep developed after years of intensive research at the Elsenburg Agricultural College from the crosses of Dorset Horn rams and German Merino ewes. The purpose of the development of the breed was to breed an early maturing sheep breed that can produce affordable meat at an early age, that would be well adapted to conditions in the winter rainfall area and that could compete with Australian and New Zealand lambs at the Smithfield market in England. The further purpose was to produce suitable rams for cross breeding, especially with the Merino and it was therefore decided to create a white wool mutton breed, free of kemp and coloured fibres. 2. SLAUGHTER LAMB TRIALS AT ELSENBURG Since 1927, for more than 10 years, rams of the following breeds were mated to Merino ewes which were the most readily available at the time: Dorset Horn, Border Leicester, Ryeland, Romney Marsh, South Down, Suffolk Down, (British mutton breeds) as well as Texel, Corriedale, German Merino and Blackhead Persian. Thereafter German Merino X Merino ewes were mated to Dorset Horn rams and it was found that the progeny were heavier than any other cross lambs. The above results gave rise to the mating of German Merino ewes to Dorset Horn rams. In addition to the unique traits of German Merino ewes, they could also, like the Merino and Dorset Horn, easily lamb in the fall with an acceptable lambing percentage.

  • Untranslated Region of RXFP2 Does Not Segregate with Horn Status In
    Lühken et al. Genet Sel Evol (2016) 48:78 DOI 10.1186/s12711-016-0256-3 Genetics Selection Evolution RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The 1.78‑kb insertion in the 3′‑untranslated region of RXFP2 does not segregate with horn status in sheep breeds with variable horn status Gesine Lühken1, Stefan Krebs2, Sophie Rothammer3, Julia Küpper1, Boro Mioč4, Ingolf Russ5 and Ivica Medugorac3* Abstract Background: The mode of inheritance of horn status in sheep is far more complex than a superficial analysis might suggest. Observations, which were mostly based on crossbreeding experiments, indicated that the allele that results in horns is dominant in males and recessive in females, and some authors even speculated about the involvement of more than two alleles. However, all recent genome-wide association analyses point towards a very strong effect of a single autosomal locus on ovine chromosome 10, which was narrowed down to a putatively causal insertion polymorphism in the 3′-untranslated region of the relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 2 gene (RXFP2). The main objective of this study was to test this insertion polymorphism as the causal mutation in diverse sheep breeds, includ- ing breeds with a variable and/or sex-dependent horn status. Results: After re-sequencing a region of about 246 kb that covered the RFXP2 gene and its flanking regions for 24 sheep from six completely horned and six completely polled breeds, we identified the same insertion polymorphism that was previously published as segregating with horn status in these breeds. Multiplex PCR genotyping of 489 sheep from 34 breeds and some crosses between sheep breeds showed a nearly perfect segregation of the inser- tion polymorphism with horn status in sheep breeds of Central and Western European origin.

  • Parts of Southern Africa and Farther North, Notably to Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and Even to Ghana
    FAT-RUMPED SHEEP BLACKHEAD PERSIAN Synonyms. Black Head Persian; Black-headed Persian; Swartkoppersie (Afrikaans). Origins. In spite of its name it is certain that the sheep has its origins in the Blackheaded Somali. The foundation of the breed is one ram and three ewes from a ship which landed in South Africa in about 1870. Further importations were made subsequently but do not appear to have had any great influence on the breed. Blackhead Persians were registered as purebreds in the first South African Stud Book in 1906. By 1930 there were 38 registered studs with 4000 animals. Sub-types and races. Somali, Blackheaded Somali, Pecora somala a testa nera [Italian] (Somalia); Blackhead Ogaden (Ethiopia); and Toposa (Sudan) are similar but less improved types. East African Blackheaded is a fat-tailed rather than a fat-rumped sheep. The Blackhead Persian has been used in crossbreeding on many "unimproved" types and has been crossed itself with "improved" types. Dorper (Dorset Horn x BHP), Wiltiper (Wiltshire Horn x BHP), Permer (BHP x German Mutton Merino), Nungua Blackhead (BHP x Djallonke (Ghana)), van Rooy ((Ronderib Africander x Rambouillet) x BHP) and Bezuidenhout Africander ((Arabi x BHP) x (Arabi x BHP)) are African examples. The BHP has also played a role in the development of Karakul sheep in southern Africa. Distribution. Originally developed in the drier areas of South Africa the breed has spread to other parts of southern Africa and farther north, notably to Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia and even to Ghana. It has also been introduced for crossbreeding purposes to the West Indies, and to Central and South America.
