Abstract: Animal behavior has been defined as the interaction of an animal with its environment. During
this interaction the animal must make decisions, based on its evaluation of the environment and its needs,
of whether or not the environment is adequate or appropriate for specific behaviors. The
environment includes both physical and biotic components, so sheep adjust their behavior in response to
such diverse characteristics as the thermal conditions of their environment, the flora present, or the
characteristics of other sheep. Although an animal's subjective experiences may not lend
themselves to direct evaluation, we may be able to address these questions indirectly by using behavior as
an indicator of the animal's decisions. This paper reviews research on the use of space, maternal and
neonatal recognition, sexual behavior, and aversiveness. The majority of methods involve preference or
acceptance tests. Assumptions, which often affect how tests are conducted and results interpreted, should
be made only after the alternatives are
carefully considered.

behavior; Gamma-aminobutyric acid
Abstract: After giving birth, sheep and many other species form a selective bond with their offspring
based on the sense of smell. Processing of olfactory signals is altered to allow the animals to perform this
selective recognition. Lamb odors have little effect on either neurotransmitter release or electrical activity
of neurons in the olfactory bulb before birth. However, after birth there is an increase in the number of
mitral cells, the principal cells of the olfactory bulb, that respond to lamb odors, which is associated with
increased cholinergic and noradrenergic neurotransmitter release. Selective recognition of lambs is
accompanied by increased activity of a subset of mitral cells and release of glutamate and gamma-
aminobutyric acid (GABA) from the
dendrodendritic synapses between the mitral and granule cells. The relation between the release of each
transmitter after birth also suggests an increased efficacy of glutamate-evoked GABA release.

Abstract: A descriptive systems model that represents an integration of the existing evidence for the
regulation of maternal motivation in diverse mammals is presented. It attempts to demonstrate a high
degree of unity between taxa in terms of the processes involved, and to provide a predictive basis for
future studies of the regulation and dysfunction of maternal behaviour in any species, including humans.
In accordance with previous systems models, maternal motivation is envisaged as the outcome of
interaction between
external, in this case, infant stimuli, and the internal state of the (female) organism in terms of the central
factors that process such stimuli. In the model these internal factors are referred to collectively as the
central state of maternal arousability. The evidence relating to the regulation of maternal behaviour in the
rat, Rattus norvegicus, sheep, Ovis aries, and rhesus monkey, Macaca mulatta, representing the diverse
orders of Rodentia, Artiodactyla and Primates, respectively, is reviewed. In each of these mammals, the
most
studied in terms of causation of maternal behaviour, maternal arousability is considered to constitute four
maternal arousability factors: attraction and anxiety, which both make a positive contribution, aversion
and novelty-fear, which both make a negative contribution. Each maternal arousability factor is responsive
to specific forms of infant stimuli, while all the sensory systems are involved in the female's total
processing of infant stimuli. Two forms of infant stimuli are proposed: passive and active. Passive stimuli
are
non-behavioural and constitute olfactory/gustatory cues and the majority of visual cues; active infant
stimuli constitute infant facial expressions, and tactile and auditory cues. It is proposed that the central
state of maternal arousability is determined by (1) central levels of the hormones that also control the
onset of birth and lactation, (2) genital stimulation that occurs at birth and induces cent

Abstract: We have investigated the rapid changes in plasma prolactin and arginine vasopressin (AVP)
associated with water satiation in ruminants. Sheep deprived of water for 72 h were allowed voluntary
access to ad libitum water. Each sheep drank approximately 5 liters in a single draft. This was performed
in a head-down position, which was maintained for approximately 2-3 min and ceased rapidly with an
abrupt movement to the upright position. During
dehydration, plasma sodium, osmolality, and AVP all increased significantly, but prolactin was unaffected.
On rehydration, AVP fell to basal levels within 5 min, but prolactin increased as a short pulse, after which
it rapidly fell again. Plasma sodium and osmolality returned to predehydration levels within 6 h of
satiation. A possible role of dopaminergic mechanisms in these responses was investigated by the
administration of the dopamine agonist bromocriptine or the antagonist metoclopramide. Neither of these
agents had any observable effects on the drinking behavior of the sheep during water satiation. During
metoclopramide treatment, dehydration was associated with a marked fall in prolactin, and on
rehydration there was a prompt and very marked increase in prolactin level. There was also an
exaggerated increase of AVP during
dehydration and a decrease on rehydration. Bromocriptine had relatively little effect on prolactin
responses but prevented the drinking-associated inhibition of AVP, demonstrating an unexpected
dissociation between AVP secretion and the stereotyped drinking response.

Abstract: Thirty-two Polwarth ewes, of ages up to 1 year, were observed in a climatic chamber (24 to 45
degrees C) for eight periods of 5 h each. The
observations were made through a window in the chamber wall. All animals were observed four times,
then shorn and observed four times again. The animals were given weighed quantities of water and feed
consisting of commercial
concentrate plus Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) hay. The water and feed
remaining after 5 h of observation were weighed. The following traits were analysed: time eating hay
(TEH), time dating concentrate (TEC), time drinking water (TDW), weight of hay eaten (WHE), weight of
concentrate eaten (WCE), volume of ingested water (VIW), ruminating time standing up (RTS),
ruminating time lying down (RTL), idling time standing up (ITS), and idling time lying down (ITL).
Shearing had a significant effect for all traits except ITS.
Shearing resulted in higher values for all traits except for ITS and ITL. Ingestion of hay (TEH and WHE)
decreased with increased air temperature and humidity, while the ingestion of concentrate (TEC) and
WHE) and water (TDW and VIW) increased. Rumination decreased with increased air temperature and
humidity, and was higher in shorn than in unshorn sheep.

Abstract: All significant properties of the herbivore trophic level, including biomass, consumption and
productivity, are significantly correlated with primary productivity across a broad range of terrestrial
ecosystems. Here we show that livestock biomass in South American agricultural ecosystems
across a 25-fold gradient of primary productivity exhibited a relationship with a slope essentially identical
to unmanaged ecosystems, but with a
substantially greater y-intercept. Therefore the biomass of herbivores
supported per unit of primary productivity is about an order of magnitude greater in agricultural than in
natural ecosystems, for a given level of
primary production. We also present evidence of an increase in livestock body size with primary
productivity, a pattern previously characterized in natural ecosystems. To our knowledge this is the first
quantitative documentation at a regional scale of the impact of animal husbandry practices, such as
herding, stock selection and veterinary care, on the biomass and size-structure of livestock herds compared
with native herbivores.

Abstract: The 5-yr attrition of 1/4 (n = 411) or 1/2 (n = 403) Finnsheep (Finn) ewes exposed to terminal
sire breeds in either an accelerated or
semi-intensive annual lambing system was recorded to test the effects of
system and percentage Finn on flock age structure at equilibrium. Ewes were culled for discernible
ailments and failure to lamb after two consecutive non-spring exposures in yr 3, 4, or 5 only. Additionally,
four progressively more intensive curing strategies for nonconception were practiced in
retrospect. Flock productivity (kilograms of lamb weaned per ewe maintained per year) at age structure
equilibrium was estimated for all culling
strategies. The majority of all systems (cull strategy X lambing system X percentage Finn combination)
were composed of ewes less than or equal to 3 yr old. Replacement requirements ranged from 24 to 38%
in the accelerated system and 22 to 26% in the annual system. Quarter-Finns yielded greater replacement
needs and shorter productive lives in accelerated lambing but fewer
replacement requirements and longer productive lives than 1/2 Finns in annual lambing. Replacement
requirements greatly increased with culling intensity in accelerated lambing (up to 54% above original
levels) but only slightly in annual lambing (up to 8% above original levels). Mean (reproductive) lifetime
estimated from fitted Weibull survival curves ranged from 3.1 to 5.1 yr in accelerated lambing and 4.5 to
5.4 yr in annual lambing. Increased culling for non-lambing decreased productivity at flock age structure
equilibrium in
accelerated lambing but did not change productivity in annual lambing.
Repeatability of ewe effects on conception was generally low. Overall, system, percentage Finn, and culling
strategy interact to influence system
productivity through flock age structure. Intensive culling for non-lambing and replacement with ewe
lambs of equal genetic merit should not be practiced in accelerated lambing systems.

Abstract: The 4 yr productivity of 25% (QF; n = 533) and 50% (HF; n = 531) Finnsheep ewes exposed to
either Suffolk or Columbia rams in one of three production systems was monitored to test the effects of
system, terminal sire breed, maternal line, and their interactions on annual market lamb production. Ewe
lambs and yearlings were randomly assigned to either a high-input
accelerated lambing system (HIGH), a high-input annual system (MED), or a low-input annual system
(LOW). Nursery facilities were available for weak lambs or those born in triplet or more births for the
HIGH and MED but not for the LOW systems. Accelerated lambing protocol required early weaning.
Sex-adjusted lamb weaning weights were corrected to within-system mean ages of 42 d for HIGH and 70 d
for MED and LOW. The HIGH ewes weaned 1.55 lambs per year compared with 1.46 for MED and 1.18
for LOW (P < .01). However, because of early weaning, HIGH yielded the lowest weight of weaned lamb
per year. The MED ewes weaned 5.9 and 11.1 more kilograms of lamb per year than the LOW and HIGH
ewes, respectively (P < .01). The HIGH system may be economically
feasible if young lambs could be inexpensively grown to feeder or market lamb weight. The HIGH ewes
did not, however, increase lamb numbers in proportion to increased exposures compared with the annual
systems. Breed-group effects for ewe productivity (kilogram of lamb weaned per ewe per year) were
consistent across management systems, although some interactions among breed group and system were
present for components of productivity. Suffolk rams yielded an advantage of 1.6 kg of weaned lamb per
exposure over Columbia rams (P < .05) due to a 3% better lamb survival (P < .01) and heavier weaning
weight, especially in the LOW system. The HF ewes weaned .1 more lambs per exposure than QF ewes (P
< .01); .06 of the lambs were nursery-reared. However, lambs from HF ewes had a 2% lower survival rate
(P < .05) and were 1.4 kg lighter at weaning (P < .01), so overall pro

Abstract: Seventy-two crossbred wether lambs (average initial weight, 25.1 kg) were used to determine
the interaction between zeranol treatment and two dietary levels of Ca and P (.8 and .6% vs .4 and .3%
Ca and P, respectively) in a 2 x 2 factorial arrangement on performance, carcass and bone
characteristics, and serum concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and Ca. Lambs were implanted
on d 0 and 56 with 12 mg of zeranol. Lambs had ad libitum access to feed for 105 d. On d 99, blood
samples were collected. Implanted lambs had 12% greater (P < .01) daily feed intake, 26% greater (P <
.10) ADG, and a 12% improvement in (P < .10) feed effieicney compared with nonimplanted lambs.
Zeranol-treated lambs had increased (P < .05) bone cortical area, breaking load, and width of the
metacarpal compared with nonimplanted lambs. Lambs fed the .8% Ca and .6% P diet had a higher (P <
.05) percentage of bone ash than lambs fed the .4% Ca and .3% P diet. However, there were no
differences (P > .05) in the percentage of Ca, P, Mg, or Zn in metacarpal bones due either to higher
dietary Ca and P or to implant treatments. Serum concentration of PTH was greater (P < .10) in lambs
fed .8% Ca and .6% P than in those receiving .4% Ca and .3% P. Serum concentrations of PTH and Ca
pooled across treatments were greater (P < .05) before feeding than at 1 h after feeding. Results from this
study indicated that zeranol improved feed
efficiency and ADG and increased daily feed intake in feedlot lambs. There were structural changes in
metacarpal bones from implanted lambs, but these changes were not a result of changes in Ca, P, Mg, and
Zn concentrations.

Descriptors: Fences; Sheep; Penetration; Lifting; Forces
Abstract: An investigation into the penetration of fences by sheep has been conducted in which the forces
sheep can produce in squeezing underneath
obstacles has been determined. Minimum gap sizes for escape have also been measured. It was found that
a minimum gap of 290 mm between a fixed rigid bar and the ground was required by sheep with a mean
brisket size of 322 mm to escape. As the position of the gap was raised by using an upper and a lower bar,
a progressively wider gap was required for penetration. Various
techniques used by sheep in attempting to enlarge and squeeze through a gap by force are described.
When sheep were required to lift a weighted gate in order to escape, they were able to penetrate a 180
mm gap by raising the gate, but since they could not get their shoulders under the gate, they could apply
only limited force. When the base of the gate was initially set at more than 180 mm, sheep were able to lift
greater weights. The maximum lift force measured was 450 N, produced by a 68 kg Romney sheep
attempting to penetrate a 270 mm gap set 100 mm off the ground. The measurements have been used to
calculate fence batten and wire spacings for various wire tensions for the type of sheep used in the
experiments, and these values have been compared with those used in practice.
