Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Post-Mating Progesterone Supplement on Pregnancy and Lambing Rates of Ewes Bred Out-of-seasonMustafa Q. Husein, Mohammed M. Ababneh, Jomana F. HijaziThe objective of this experiment was to determine whether post-mating progesterone (P4) supplement improves pregnancy and lambing rates in ewes bred during the seasonal anestrous period. In June, 39 synchronized to estrus Awassi ewes were allowed with four harnessed fertile rams immediately following CIDR-G device removal (day 0 and 0 hour). Five days following ram introduction, ewes were randomly assigned … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,899 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effects of Short or Long Term FGA Treatment with or without eCG on Reproductive Performance of Ewes Bred Out-of-seasonMustafa Q. Husein, Mohammed M. Ababneh, Dia S. Abu-RumanThe objective was to evaluate the effects of intravaginal FGA sponges inserted for 4 or 12 days with or without eCG on reproductive performance of ewes out-of-season. Forty-eight anestrous ewes were assigned in equal numbers to four treatments in a 2x2 factorial design. Ewes were administered with FGA sponges on May 17 for 12 days (12-day-FGA-eCG and 12-day-FGA groups, n= … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,485 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEstrous 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
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePlasma Fatty Acid Profile of Gestating Ewes Supplemented with FishmealMamun M. Or-Rashid, Rebecca Fisher, Niel Karrow et al.Problem statement: The very long chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (>18C) cannot be adequately synthesized by ruminant tissues to meet their requirements; therefore, their concentration in body depends on the supply through feed. It may be possible to improve the essential fatty acid status of ruminant animals, during gestation by manipulating the maternal diet with Fishmeal (FM). The objectives of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2012 · 8,219 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPREVALENCE OF MASTITIS PATHOGENS AND THEIR RESISTANCE AGAINST ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS IN AWASSI SHEEP IN AL-BALQA PROVINCE OF JORDANAzmi D. Hawari, Maher Obeidat, Saddam Sh. Awaisheh et al.The primary objective of this study was to establish data on mastitis in Awassi Sheep in Al-Balqa Province of Jordan. Milk samples were collected from 260 lactating ewes that selected randomly from eight flocks. California Mastitis Test (CMT) gave result with 220 milk samples; 122 samples (55.5%) showed positive CMT. Infection with some bacterial species was associated with positive CMT. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 3 May 2014 · 7,499 accessesView PDFCite
