If it seems you are pulling too many lambs and those lambs are oversized, then it’s likely that the ewes are overfed, especially in the last 4-6 weeks of the gestation period for sheep. This will make it hard for on your sheep giving birth, and the lambing process. There are two ...

Infection in nonpregnant sheep is typically mild and unapparent, but in pregnancy, it is essentially a disease of the conceptus and the gestational age at infection affects the nature of the disease process. The causal organism has a complex life cycle, involving an asexual cycle that can ...
Today, sheep farmers in the Western Mediterranean de-season their ewes to achieve autumnal births. This strategy contrasts sharply with spring lambing further north, and provides benefits in terms of out-of-season availability of animal products. These c
As sheep farmers across the UK gear up for a busy couple of months, the farmers at Moreton Morrell are hoping to get more than a new flock out of the process, with teenagers mucking in for the first time, learning the tricks of their future trade. "We're here to help monitor, just...
These results indicate that perhaps half of these Merino ewes isolated themselves from high concentrations of other sheep, for lambing, and in the process lambed near boundary fences or shelters. It is not clear whether the movement to isolated lambing sites is deliberate or fortuitous due to ...

For sheep producers, the number of lambs reared is an important component of flock profitability, and measuring and understanding lamb losses should form the basis of recording atlambing.It is important to think carefully about what you want to achieve from the records and not overcomplicate the ...
