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.

Abstract: This study investigated the effect of grazing by California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis
californiana) on plant community structure. Over 28 months from 1977 to 1979, bighorn diet consisted of
79 species, including 14 grasses, 47 forbs and bryophytes, plus 18 trees and shrubs. Grasses, forbs, and
shrubs comprised 66.6, 18.9, and 14.5% of the diet, respectively. Three years of bighorn sheep grazing
reduced (P < 0.05) leaf and culm lengths of bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum (Pursh) Scribn. &
Smith). Grazing generally reduced leaf length, basal diameter, culm (stem) length, and culm (stem)
numbers of prairie Junegrass (Koeleria cristata Pers.), Sandberg's bluegrass (Poa sandbergii Vasey),
needle-and-thread (Stipa comata Trin. & Rupr.), Thompson's paintbrush (Castilleja thompsonii Pennell),
silky lupine (Lupinus sericeus Pursh), and snow buckwheat (Eriogonum niveum Dougl.). Vigor of
arrowleaf balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata (Pursh) Nutt.) was unaffected by grazing, despite its dietary
importance. Total plant frequency remained unchanged between 1976 and 1983 in areas grazed by
bighorn sheep, and in
grazing exclosures. Total grass frequency declined from 46.5 to 30.8% within the exclosures, but increased
from 44.7 to 48.8% in response to bighorn sheep grazing. Forb frequency remained unchanged after 7
years of bighorn sheep grazing while frequency of yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.) increased more inside
exclosures than on the grazed area. Botanical composition of shrubs increased on grazed and ungrazed
areas from 1976 to 1983, but frequency was unaffected by bighorn sheep grazing. Snow buckwheat and
Wyeth buckwheat
(Eriogonum heracleoides Nutt.) declined in response to bighorn sheep grazing. Successional trends caused
by California bighorn sheep grazing differed from trends expected from cattle grazing.

Abstract: Polyclonal antisera were collected from a mare immunized with ovine adipocyte plasma
membranes. Ten crossbred wether lambs received three
consecutive daily intraperitoneal injections of horse antisheep adipocyte plasma membrane
immunoglobulin (ASIg) or nonimmune serum immunoglobulin
(NSIg). Each injection delivered 1.5 ml serum Ig protein equivalent to either 53.4 mg ASIg or 51.1 mg
NSIg per kilogram of live body weight. Lambs were housed in individual metabolic crates during the 28-d
experiment and given ad libitum access to a pelleted, high-concentrate diet. Daily feed consumption was
monitored individually over the experimental period and N retention was determined. Blood was collected
on d 0, 4, 7, 14 and 28 for determination of nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA), triacylglycerides (TG) and
hematocrit. At the conclusion of the experiment, lambs were slaughtered and carcasses were
evaluated. Passive immunization against sheep adipocyte plasma membrane
reduced (P < .05) perirenal adipose tissue weight and decreased ether extract content of both subcutaneous
and perirenal fat. Treatment tended to reduce average backfat thickness (24%) and estimated kidney
pelvic fat (16%).
Treatment with ASIg reduced (P < .05) blood plasma NEFA but did not alter blood TG or hematocrit
values. Average daily weight gain was lower (P < .01) in the ASIg-treated group. However, the efficiency
of carcass production, measured as carcass weight, was not affected by ASIg treatment.

Abstract: The aim of the present study was to investigate the ability of frozen-thawed mouse and sheep
embryos to develop in vitro after introducing hyaluronic acid (HA) into the freezing medium as a
substitute for biological proteins. A total of 443 mouse embryos and 120 sheep embryos were divided into
equal numbers to be frozen in one of two freezing media containing either 4 mg/ml BSA (control) or 1
mg/ml HA (treated). Overall, 80% of the mouse embryos developed after thawing, with no significant
difference (P > 0.05) between the two freezing media. Similarly, 75% of the frozen-thawed sheep embryos
developed in culture after thawing, with no differences (P > 0.05) between the two groups. It was
concluded that although the handling of embryos is more difficult with the HA compound than with BSA,
the HA compound may be safely substituted for BSA for international movement of embryos, if these
preliminary results are confirmed in vivo.

Abstract: The effects of treating ovariectomised nulliparous and multiparous ewes with progesterone and
estrogen on maternal behavior with or without
vagino-cervical stimulation were investigated. Following 48 h of estrogen treatment there was neither
evidence for stimulation of maternal behavior, nor a reduction in aggressive behavior, towards lambs by
either multiparous or nulliparous ewes compared with control treatment (injections of the oil
vehicle). Following 5 min of mechanical vaginocervical stimulation, the
multiparous estrogen-treated ewes showed both positive maternal responses (low pitch bleats, licking,
sniffing and approaching the lamb) and a reduction in aggression butts) and negative behavior
(withdrawal from the lamb) towards the lambs, whereas the nulliparous ewes showed only a reduction in
aggression and negative behavior. Neither group showed positive maternal responses following
vaginocervical stimulation without steroid priming. When the ewes received two weeks of progesterone
priming prior to estrogen treatment, both multiparous and nulliparous ewes showed reduced aggression
towards, and withdrawal from, the lambs compared to the control condition, but no positive maternal
responses apart from an increased sniffing of the lamb. After vaginocervical stimulation positive maternal
responses showed by multiparous ewes were
significantly potentiated compared to those shown following estrogen treatment alone. Nulliparous ewes
remained unresponsive on positive maternal behaviors. These studies show that hormonal priming has
little effect in inducing the onset of maternal behavior in multiparous or nulliparous sheep but is an
essential prerequisite for vaginocervical stimulation to do so in multiparous animals.

Luteinizing hromone, testosterone, and behavioral response of male-oriented rams to estrous ewes and
rams.

Abstract: During the breeding season three experiments were conducted to evaluate the LH and
testosterone M response of rams with male sexual
orientation (e.g., male-oriented homosexual rams) to female sheep, to male sheep, and to treatment with
LHRH. Male-oriented rams were identified through a series of sexual performance and sexual preference
tests. Treatments
included exposure to estrous females and to males for 15 min (Exp. 1) and exposure to estrous females and
to males for 8 h (Exp. 2). Behavioral
responses to stimulus animals were recorded. In Exp. 2 homosexual rams mounted males more than
females (P < .02) and exhibited more flehmen (P < .002) and investigatory sniffs (P < .01) when exposed to
males vs females. Acts of
aggression (butting the stimulus animals) did not differ by gender (P > .1). Flehmen and butting were
positively correlated to LH secretion (P < .02) of rams exposed to females but not to males. In Exp. 1, LH
concentration
determined every 15 min for 6 h was not affected (P > .05) by the gender of the stimulus animal. In Exp.
2, LH pulse frequency and concentration were similar (P > .05) by treatment. Lack of an LH response to
sexual activity in homosexual rams was not a result of pituitary or gonadal insensitivity; within 1 h of a
single injection of LHRH both LH and T increased (Exp. 3). Individual mean T concentrations were
higher in five of seven homosexual rams when they were exposed to males vs females. As a group, mean T
concentration during 8 h was higher (P < .1) when homosexual rams were exposed to males vs females.
These data show that homosexual rams do not exhibit an endocrine response to estrous ewes. Sexual
behaviors directed toward males do not influence LH
secretion, but in some individuals T concentration increases.

Abstract: The meal patterns of pygmy goats fed hay and pelleted concentrate ad lib were recorded and
analyzed. The pygmy goats consumed 8 hay meals [6 during the light phase (= light)/2 during the dark
phase (= dark)] and 10 concentrate meals (7 during light/3 during dark) during 24 hr (12 hr light/12 hr
dark). Sixty-two percent of hay and 74% of concentrate intake occurred during light. Total 24-hr hay (280
g) and concentrate (264 g) intakes were similar, but concentrate was preferred during dark. Concentrate
meals were smaller during light than during dark. The mean feeding rate (g/min) within meals for both
hay and concentrate was higher during dark than during light. Meal size and duration of postmeal
interval were positively correlated for concentrate but not for hay. No significant positive correlation was
found between meal size and duration of premeal interval. Separate analysis of
diurnal and nocturnal meals indicated that the postmeal correlation for
concentrate was evident primarily during dark. The results demonstrate that food intake in pygmy goats
shows distinct diurnal variations and suggest that food intake in ruminants is regulated from meal to
meal, with different
factors prevailing during light and dark.

Descriptors: Rams; Libido; Mating behavior; Ejaculation
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the ejaculation rate (serving capacity) of
sexually experienced rams could be estimated by selected measures of sexual libido when rams were
exposed to estrous ewes under conditions that prevented copulations. Twenty-four crossbred rams
selected for either high or low rates of copulation were exposed to two
restrained estrous ewes under three treatment conditions that 1) permitted the fur range of precopulatory
and copulatory behaviors, 2) permitted
precopulatory behaviors and mounting but precluded copulation, or 3) permitted precopulatory behaviors
but not mounting or copulation. Frequencies of
precopulatory behaviors (bouts of leg-kicking and anogenital sniffing) in each of the three treatment
conditions and mounting frequency in Treatment 2
occurred in proportion to the ram's characteristic ejaculation rate (P <
.001), suggesting that the mating potential of rams can be estimated under conditions that preclude
copulation. Frequencies of precopulatory behaviors and mounting were lower when the rams were allowed
to copulate, due largely to periods of sexual inactivity after ejaculations.

Abstract: Observations were made on the behaviour of juvenile ewes in a
home-range group of Scottish hill sheep, Ovis aries. The group, including the juvenile ewes, remained on
the hill throughout the year. In contrast to
previous studies of hill sheep, whilst the juveniles remained in their natal group, their associations with
their mothers declined from about 6 months of age onwards. There was no indication of any recovery in
the mother-daughter bond by the end of the study. In this respect the present study concurs with other
work on populations of feral and wild sheep. Whilst associations with mothers declined, the preference for
peers increased in autumn and
strengthened considerably in winter, as the juveniles formed peer groups that moved independently of
older ewes. Peer associations declined the following summer as the juvenile ewes again became integrated
into the larger group. Although juveniles did not associate with their mothers, cluster analysis of
movement patterns showed that at 1 year old they tended to develop summer ranging behaviour similar to
their mothers. It is suggested that separation from the mother and the development of relationships with
peers have arisen in sheep as these social processes facilitate the formation and cohesion of large home
range groups with the benefits that larger group sizes confer.

Abstract: Length of oestrus and timing of the LH surge was measured in six British White does, housed
with a vasectomized buck (experiment 1). The
following breeding season, pulsatile LH release during the cycle was measured in eight does and the
pattern of behavioural and vaginal traits in relation to onset of oestrus (time 0) determined (experiment 2).
In experiment 1, the interval to first oestrus after introduction of the buck on 1st October was 10.3 +/- 3.0
days (n=6) but in experiment 2, when the buck was put in on 1st September, first oestrus occurred after
39.3 +/- 3.4 days in 7/8 does and 7 days in 1/8 does indicating that adequate exposure to short days is
needed before the buck can initiate ovarian activity. LH pulse frequency increased from 0-1 pulses/8 h to 3
pulses/8 h after luteolysis, with no change in pulse amplitude, suggesting that progesterone regulates LH
pulse frequency. Mean LH values rose from basal to 102.1 +/- 7.8 ng/ml, 12 +/- 1.5 h after the onset of
oestrus, which was 16.3 +/- 1.7 h in length. Does sought out the buck and displayed tail wagging, bleating
and restlessness from -60 h to +36 h relative to the onset of oestrus (time 0). The incidence of these
activities rose at -12 h and peaked at 0 h. Tail wagging, but not bleating or restlessness, also increased in
intensity at 0 h, as did the intensity with which the doe
actively sought out the buck. Vulval redness and swelling and onset of a clear thin vaginal discharge were
first observed 1-2 days before oestrus, becoming maximal on day 0. It was concluded that onset of
frequent tail wagging was the most useful trait for detecting onset of oestrus.

Abstract: In a series of experiments using a quantitative method for
measuring receptivity and implants that allowed rapid and controlled changes in the blood concentrations
of oestradiol-170 and progesterone, we have
re-examined the roles of these steroids in the induction of sexual behaviour and the LH surge in
ovariectomized ewes. Progesterone priming was found to increase the proportion of ewes showing oestrus,
reduce the latency to the onset of oestrus, and increase the 'intensity' of the behaviour as measured by the
receptivity index, but it did not affect the size of the LH surge.
Progesterone was able to facilitate the expression of oestrus even when it was withdrawn 8 days before
oestrogen treatment, suggesting that it exerts its effect by restoring the sensitivity of the oestrogen-
refractory animal to oestrogen. When it was present at the time oestrogen was administered, progesterone
inhibited the stimulatory effect of oestrogen, but this effect disappeared as soon as the progesterone was
withdrawn. Thereafter, expression of both the behavioural and endocrine responses was delayed by 24-30
h. These data show that the timing of the preovulatory behavioural and endocrine events is determined
primarily by the time of progesterone withdrawal. The amount of oestradiol and the timing of any rise in
concentration serve only to modulate these effects.

Abstract: Six adult Angora bucks, housed under natural photoperiod for 15 months in a temperate
southern hemisphere environment, were examined for
seasonal changes in testicular size and secretion of LH and androgens. The pattern of testicular growth
and regression lagged behind the photoperiod by 9 weeks over which time the continuing development due
to maturation of the animals was superimposed. The seasonal secretion of androgens was parallel to, but
lagged behind, the photoperiod by 16 weeks. Blood sampling over 24 hours every second month revealed
that the mean LH and androgens levels were
respectively 47 and 876% higher in March than at their lowest levels at the end of the breeding season
(July), and the secretion of both hormones remained low from July to January. There appeared to be no
diurnal pattern for the secretion of either hormone at any time of the year.

Senses involved in discrimination of merino ewes at close contact and from a distance by their newborn
lambs.

Language: English
Descriptors: Lambs; Ewes; Hearing; Vision; Smell; Identification; Newborn animals; Age differences
Abstract: In the first 24 h after birth, lambs identify their mothers at close quarters only (less than 50
cm), and discrimination at a distance of several metres becomes established only when the lambs are
between 2 and 3 days old. This suggests the involvement of two different sensory mechanisms. This paper
investigates the maternal cues (auditory, visual or olfactory) that are used in the discrimination of the dam
by her lamb in these two situations. Both visual and auditory cues were involved in discrimination, both at
close contact on the first day after birth and at a distance when the lambs were older. Suppression of
smell had no major effect on the discriminatory
abilities of newborn lambs. It is concluded that the behaviour of the ewe and the stance she adopts play a
role in orienting the acoustically released
searching activity of the young lamb.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the sexual performance of rams that differed in age
(maturation) and sexual experience. Twenty-four ram lambs (8 mo of age) and 21 rams (20 mo of age)
were individually exposed to four females in hormonally induced estrus for 30 min on five occasions, 7 d
apart. Half (12) the ram lambs and nine of the yearlings were sexually naive at the start of testing (had
been denied access to females since weaning); the remaining males were sexually experienced. The sexual
performance of the
virgin rams was poorer during the initial exposure to females than in
subsequent tests, whereas the sexual behavior of the sexually experienced males did not change over the
days of testing. Sexually naive ram lambs and rams exhibited an improvement in sexual performance
between Tests 1 and 2; during Tests 3 to 5 the sexual performance (ejaculations per test) of sexually naive
and experienced rams was similar. The only effects of age (maturation) on sexual performance during the
last three test days were a higher frequency of mounts without ejaculation plus mount attempts (P < .03)
and a greater number of mount interactions per ejaculation (P < .02) by ram lambs. In
conclusion, one or two relatively brief exposures to estrous females can bring the sexual performance of
virgin rams up to levels comparable to that of
experienced males. Also, ram lambs in good condition exhibit acceptable levels of sexual performance.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which sexual performance (serving
capacity) tests can be used to predict the sexual behavior and reproductive success of rams in the context
of pen mating.
Standard serving capacity tests were used to select four low (LP) and four high-performing (HP) rams
from a population of 94 yearling males. Each
selected ram was then exposed to approximately 30 estrus-synchronized ewes for a 9-d period.
Ejaculations observed and mounting marks left on ewes confirmed the greater (P < .001) sexual activity of
the HP rams in the field. In
addition, ewes exposed to HP rams had a higher lambing percentage, more lambs born, and more live
lambs born per ewe. Ram classification was not related (P > .60) to the number of lambs born per ewe
lambing (prolificacy). It was
concluded that serving capacity tests, properly conducted, can be used to predict ram mating performance
and thus aid in establishing more efficient ram-to-ewe stocking rates.

Abstract: This paper describes the structure of the small-ruminant trade in southwest Nigeria, analyses
the factors determining the price of animals, and examines the relationship of prices between markets.
Animals imported from the north dominate the sheep and goat trades, and supply and prices are highly
seasonal. However, multiple regression shows animal prices to be largely
predictable in terms of the characteristics of the animal (breed, sex and live-weight) and the market in
which it is sold (location and month of sale). Prices are relatively closely correlated between markets over
time, and price relationships between markets reflect the respective structures of the trade in northern
and southern animals. Price margins between markets reflect the level of traders' commission and storage
costs in addition to the direct costs of transport. The study concludes that there is no evidence for market
inefficiency or segregation, and that there is considerable market potential for increased local production
of sheep and goats. In policy terms, the
market's efficiency implies that government involvement beyond its present, limited facilitative role would
not be justified.

Abstract: The preslaughter handling and behaviour, and subsequent bruising was observed in 49 groups
of sheep in a commercial slaughterhouse. A greater percentage of bruised carcases was found in lambs
(71%) than in ewes (49%) (P< 0.01). A greater percentage of severely bruised carcases was found in lambs
from markets (20%) than in those direct from farms (12%) (P< 0.05).
Significant correlations were found between the occurrence of recent bruising and wool-pulls during
unloading, riding by another sheep, and hits and
squashes against structures at the slaughterhouse. However, even assuming that each potentially traumatic
event observed in the slaughterhouse caused a
bruise, only about one-quarter of the bruising could have been attributed to handling problems at the
slaughterhouse. Eight-eight per cent of all bruises were estimated to have been caused within about 24 h of
death, indicating that most bruising probably was caused by handling problems during loading on the
farm, during transit and particularly at markets.

Abstract: Variations of core-temperature rhythms occurring during a "normal" day (24-hour period
without extraordinary challenges for organism) were
studied in 5 male sheep. To record the influence of the metabolic processes in different organic systems,
core temperatures were measured at various
locations at the same time. To minimize any influences due to measurement or behavior (e.g., effects of
isolation), a telemetric system was used for
registration and animals were kept without restraint in their habitual herd. Particularly biphasic circadian
rhythms were found, and feeding schedule as zeitgeber is discussed. Beyond that, independent from point
of measurement short-time rhythms with wavelengths of 140 and 90 min were found. Therefore, an origin
in the central nervous system can be supposed. Rhythms with
wavelengths of 3 hours, 75 min and 1 hour were not stable throughout a whole 24-hour period and did not
occur at all measurement points in the same
intensity. A comparison of anatomical placements of the various measurement points leads to the
realization of distinct organic functions as sources for these rhythms.
