Selection for nursing ability and adult weight in mice. Three selection treatments were conducted for 12 generations in each of two base populations (P and Q): (1) increased nursing ability of the mother (n12), as measured by mean 12-day weight of eight young within a crossfostering set ...
However, effects of short-term maternal pre-conceptional dietary manipulation on postnatal growth and reproductive parameters of male offspring in large animals remains unexplored. To determine these consequences, female crossbred (Polypay x Dorset) sheep were allocated to three groups (n = 33/group)...
The engorgement weights of laboratory-raised nymphs of five common ticks in the USA, Amblyomma americanum, Amblyomma maculatum, Dermacentor andersoni, Dermacentor variabilis, and Rhipicephalus sanguineus, experimentally fed to repletion on an adult sheep (Ovis aries) were evaluated to determine the sex ...
weight of the fetus is measured in milligrams, even for marsupial species where adult weight can be as great as 30-40 kg. Thus the fetal mass at delivery is a very small percentage (<0.1%) of maternalbody weight, even in species with a litter size as large as 20 (Tyndale-Bisco, ...
A number of studies have shown an increase in the birth weight of lambs in response to mid pregnancy shearing. The present study sought to determine whether the birth weight effect of mid‐pregnancy shearing is mediated through changes in maternal insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) and in...
Monthly observations were taken on a number of animal and pasture characteristics during a 24-year study with adult Corriedale wethers which were grazed at 10, 15, 20 and 25 sheep ha-1. The seasonal patterns in all the observed parameters varied with the stocking rate. The more notable were...

Since the gestation length of a species is positively related to adult body weight, the foetuses of larger species take longer to grow from conception to around 5% of their adult weight than those of smaller species. A species, however, is potentially an interbreeding group. Therefore, within ...
Alexander (12) surgically removed uterine caruncles prior to conception in sheep. Among 25 ewes followed during successive gestations over a 3-year period, the number of placental cotyledons was inversely proportional to the number of caruncles removed. Mean cotyledon weight was also inversely ...
