Interplay between stress and reproduction: Novel epigenetic markers in response to shearing patterns in Australian Merino sheep ( <i>Ovis aries</i> )

2021-12-07

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we determined the effect(s) of shearing on Australian Merino ewes ( Ovis aries ). To test this research question, we used a suite of field and laboratory methods including GPS collars, wool cortisol and novel epigenetic markers identified using Illumina NovaSeq RRBS. Single shorn ewes (n =24) kept on their full fleece throughout the entire gestation period while twice shorn ewes (n =24) had their w...
