Published in 2017 at "Applied Animal Behaviour Science"

DOI: 10.1016/j.applanim.2017.10.016

Abstract: Abstract Nutrient restriction during pregnancy may negatively affect ewe-lamb attachment at birth. We hypothesised that the difference in the attachment at birth could persist during lactation and, consequently, the emotional response of lambs to a… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Theriogenology"

DOI: 10.1016/j.theriogenology.2022.03.014

Abstract: Sheep's fecundity is determined by both twinning rate and litter size, both influenced by several genes, one of which is the OLR1 (oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor) gene. This study aimed to determine the genetic variation… read more here.
