Importance of birthcoat for lamb survival and growth in the Romane sheep breed extensively managed on rangelands.

Journal of animal science - 1 Jan 2014

Allain D, Foulquié D, Autran P, Francois D, Bouix J

Abstract excerpt

The Romane sheep breed proved to be adapted to harsh conditions with high prolificacy and lamb survival in outdoor farming, even under bad climate conditions. This breed shows large variability in its fleece type at birth and it has been suggested that lamb survival could be related to birthcoat type. The aim of the present study was to: i) characterize the coat of the lamb at birth and quantify lamb survival in...
