Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesGenomic Regions and Candidate Genes Associated With Semen Traits in Rams: A Systematic GWAS Review With Implications for South African Sheep BreedsNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Khoboso Christine LehloenyaRam fertility is a key determinant of reproductive efficiency in sheep production systems, particularly under extensive and semi-extensive conditions prevalent in South Africa. Semen quality traits, including ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, motility, and cryotolerance, exhibit measurable genetic variation and are increasingly investigated using genomic approaches. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from three eligible Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) analyses that have … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2026 · 50 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the author namesPhenotypic, Reproductive and Genomic Perspectives on the Status and Research Gaps of South African Bosvelder SheepNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Khoboso Christine Lehloenya, Khanyisile Hadebe et al.The South African Bosvelder sheep is an emerging composite sheep developed from indigenous Bapedi and commercial White Dorper and Van Rooy sheep. Despite its reported adaptability and production potential under bushveld conditions, the sheep remains scientifically under-characterized and is not formally recognized within national breeding frameworks. This narrative review evaluates the current state of knowledge regarding phenotypic, reproductive, and genomic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 1 Jul 2026 · 1,242 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEstrous Synchronization Protocols in South African Merino EwesNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Fhulufhelo Vincent Ramukhithi, Khoboso Christine LehloenyaThe South African Merino breed is the most important sheep breed in South Africa due to its superior wool quality. With an increasing wool demand from China and Europe, the need for wool production in South Africa has risen significantly. To meet this high demand, it is crucial to enhance the reproduction rate of the Merino sheep using assisted reproduction … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2025 · 7,007 accessesView PDFCite
