Milk fat percentage was higher in the milk of ewes fed TF (5.47%), CF1 (4.95%), or CF2 (6.40%); however, milk protein percentage was higher in the milk of ewes fed CF1 (4.29%) and CF3 (4.64%) compared to TF (3.78%) and CF2 (3.57%). Total (C12:0 + C14:0 + C16:0) saturated fatty acids were significantly lower in milk fat from ewes fed TF (45.67%) and ...

A total of 78 non- pregnant ewes were synchronized for oestrus with two doses of 100 μg PGF2α (Cloprostenol) 9 days apart. The ewes were randomly assigned to one of four groups; G1 (n = 18; commercial Triladyl®/ 100 × 106 sperm), G2 (n = 21; commercial Triladyl®/ 50 × 106 sperm), G3 (n = 20; h...

Ewes were subjected to a system of lambing every 8 months. Ewes were mated in August (summer), April (spring) and December (winter), respectively. Ewes were synchronized using FIS (intravaginal flourogestone sponges) for 14 days. Additionally, 600 IU eCG (...

The criteria for the sheep sampled were 2-3 years old, healthy condition (good activity), good appetite with feed given in the form of concentrate (2% of body weight), and forage (10% of body weight). The results showed that morphology, physiology, and total protein did not show a significant relationship (p>0.05) to ...

To address this gap, a study involving 260 randomly selected farmers, with 130 being CBBP members and 130 non-members owning sheep from similar locations, was conducted. The results revealed significant differences (p<0.05) in various aspects between CBBP members and non-members. CBBP participants showed higher numbers of lambs...

The study evaluated 100 sexually mature and healthy ewes aged between 3 and 4 years. Body weight and age were recorded for each animal. Serum samples were collected to measure cortisol hormone levels using ELISA kits from ELK Biotechnology. The study revealed that litter size significantl...
