Dietary supplementation with OCr increased hot carcass weight, hot carcass yield, cold carcass weight, and Longissimus dorsi muscle area but decreased backfat thickness. In meat, OCr supplementation increased Warner-Bratzler shear force and protein content and decreased intramuscular fat content. In the blood, OCr dietary supplementation increased the serum concentration of insulin and triiodothyronine. However, serum concentrations of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and thyroxine decreased in response to OCr dietary supplementation. In conclusion, organic chromium can be used as a dietary additive to improve average daily gain and feed conversion ratio in lambs and, at the same time, improve carcass traits, meat chemical composition, and serum metabolites.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21758,"journal":{"name":"Small Ruminant Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140103521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) remain a main threat for grazing goats, usually controlled using anthelmintic drugs (AH). However, 1) eprinomectin (EPN) is the sole molecule yet available without withdrawal time for milk in France; 2) nematodes AH resistances increase dramatically. First, a survey was performed on 13 farms in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (AURA) region to evaluate the efficacy of 2 AH authorized for dairy goats: a benzimidazole (BZ) and a macrocyclic lactone (EPN pour-on). Fecal Egg Count Reduction Tests (FECRT) were carried out using 3 groups of 10 goats per farm: a control group, one treated with BZ (oxfendazole) and one treated with EPN. The results indicate a resistance to BZ in 11 out of 13 farms (84.6%) and a lack of efficacy for EPN pour-on in at least 10 farms (76.9%). Secondly, EPN was given orally or subcutaneously in 4 farms of the previous trial showing a lack of efficacy to EPN pour-on. A resistance to EPN was confirmed in 3 out of 4 farms. Although based on a few farms, these results confirm the high prevalence of resistance of GIN to BZ in dairy goat farms. They also highlight a high level of resistance to EPN and the lack of efficacy of EPN when used pour-on. Given the level of resistance to marketed drugs, there is an urgent need to explore alternative options to AH to prepare integrated, sustainable control of GIN.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21758,"journal":{"name":"Small Ruminant Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140332661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traits associated with the productivity of ewes have a direct impact on the overall productivity, profitability and efficiency of sheep farms. Therefore, the objective of the current study was to estimate the variance components, heritabilities as well as genetic and phenotypic correlations, for traits associated with the lifetime productivity of Central Anatolian Merino ewes. Birth and weaning records of lambs for each ewe as well as environmental factors such as sex and birth type were utilized for deriving ewe lifetime productivity traits. Genetic parameter estimations involved observations from 3101 Central Anatolian Merino ewes, encompassing mean and total lamb birth weight per ewe (MBW and TBW), mean and total lamb weaning weight per ewe (MWW and TWW), and the mean and total number of lambs weaned (MNLW and TNLW). This analysis utilized a pedigree comprising 13229 animals. Average Information Restricted Maximum Likelihood (AIREML) based Animal Linear Mixed Model estimations for the decomposition of (co)variance components were implemented based on pedigree-derived numerator relationship matrix by also accounting for the number of parities as a fixed factor. Low to moderate heritability estimates, ranging between 0.29 and 0.42, were observed for the lifetime productivity traits of the breed. A wide range of genetic and phenotypic correlations (between −0.56 and 0.99) was observed among the traits of interest. The outcomes of the study are anticipated to significantly enhance the global sheep production systems by uncovering the essential parameters for incorporating ewe’s lifetime reproductive performance and productivity into the selection indices. This will also benefit Central Anatolian Merino farmers, who form a large proportion of sheep producers in Turkey.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21758,"journal":{"name":"Small Ruminant Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140087238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of the research was to determine what affect dry aging had on flavor attributes and the volatile compounds that influence the perception of flavor. Lambs (n = 10) were fed an alfalfa-based concentrate diet for 60 d prior to harvest. Loins were obtained from both sides of the carcass and randomly assigned to an aging treatment; no age (boned and frozen day 0) or 14 d of dry age in cold storage (4°C, 55%RH). Descriptive flavor profile panel evaluated samples and volatile compounds were analyzed from cooked samples. No differences were detected by descriptive flavor panel between fresh and dry aged loin chops for most flavor attributes. However, aged loins were rated saltier than loins not aged. Additionally, aged loin chops tended to have a greater intensity score for mutton and green attributes. Aldehydes were the greatest proportion of the volatile aroma compound chemical classification recovered and identified from the lamb samples. Dry-aged lamb loins yielded greater thiobis-methane (a sulfurous, fishy aroma) than loins without ageing. As expected, muscle fiber tenderness as evaluated by sensory panel was greater for aged loin chops than no age (12.7 and 10.0, respectively). Aged loin chops tended to be juicier as well. Aging in aerobic conditions for up to 14 d can improve tenderness in lamb without significantly impacting flavor, however, there is a tendency to increase the mutton and green flavors with dry aging.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21758,"journal":{"name":"Small Ruminant Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140063147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A literature survey of goat nutrition studies with ad libitum forage intake with or without supplementation was conducted, resulting in a database with 135 treatment mean observations, representing measures from 503 animals and derived from 26 publications. The database was divided into three datasets based on forage CP concentration (Low: &lt; 6%, Moderate: 6 – 10%, and High: &gt; 10%). The datasets were used to develop equations addressing positive and negative associative effects. Change in forage ME intake relative to metabolic BW (MEIMBWFOR; kJ/kg BW<sup>0.75</sup>) due to supplementation was predicted based on potential variables of supplement ME intake also scaled to metabolic BW (MEIMBWSUP; kJ/kg BW<sup>0.75</sup>), forage OM digestibility (OMDIGFOR; %), CP concentration (PTCPFOR; %), and NDF concentration (PTNDFFOR; % DM), supplement CP concentration (PTCPSUP; %) and ME concentration (MECSUP; MJ/kg), and quadratic functions of these variables (MEIMBWSUP2, OMDIGFOR2, PTCPFOR2, PTNDFFOR2, PTCPSUP2, and MECSUP2). Model development for each dataset was conducted by two analytical methods, stepwise regression and the Least Absolute Shrinkage Selection Operator (LASSO). Equations employing both methods were developed, with stepwise regression accounting for greatest variation (Low: MEIMBWFOR = 937 + 0.604 × MEIMBWSUP − 0.0018 × MEIMBWSUP2 – 0.105 × PTNDFFOR2; ARSq = 0.871, Moderate: MEIMBWFOR = 1732 − 0.579 × MEIMBWSUP + 40.9 × PTCPFOR − 62.4 × OMDIGFOR + 0.601 × OMDIGFOR2; ARSq = 0.826, and High: MEIMBWFOR = 51.0 − 0.00162 × MEIMBWSUP2 + 8.42 × PTNDFFOR; ARSq = 0.628). Similar variables were selected with both analytical methods for each dataset, but variables selected differed among datasets. Although goodness of fit measures were relatively high for each dataset, they ranked Low &gt; Moderate &gt; High, suggesting greatest robustness for Low and complexity in influencing factors for High. In conclusion, equations to predict associative effects between basal forages and supplements consumed by goats developed for basal forage with low, moderate, and high CP concentrations should be useful in diet formulation tools such as LINC.

Meat samples were analysed by a trained sensory panel, a consumer panel as well as Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) measurements. All data were analysed using a linear mixed model PROC MIXED in SAS. Mean slaughter weights of 46.0 ± 0.36 kg and cold carcass weights of 22.2 ± 0.51 kg were achieved with no differences observed across dietary treatments (<em>P &gt;</em> 0.05). On average, lambs were 217 d of age at slaughter. Lambs finished on PRG and PRG+Plan had similar growth rates, however binary mixtures containing PRG plus any one of WC, RC (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.01) or Chic (<em>P &lt;</em> 0.05) increased average daily gain (ADG) and reduced the number of days required for lambs to reach slaughter (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05), relative to lambs grazing the PRG monoculture. Meat from PRG+Plan lambs was scored lower by the trained sensory panel for initial tenderness (<em>P &lt;</em> 0.001) and overall tenderness (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.001) when compared to meat from any other dietary treatment. Consumers scored meat from PRG or PRG+WC lambs higher for tenderness (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05) and flavour (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.01) in comparison to meat produced from PRG+Plan lambs. Relative to meat from PRG+Plan lambs, PRG, PRG+WC and PRG+Chic lamb meat scored higher for overall liking (<em>P &lt;</em> 0.01) when assessed by the consumer panel. Results show that companion forage inclusion increased lamb growth performance in the post-weaning period thus reducing age at slaughter. However, findings suggest that the addition of plantain to the grazed sward may negatively affect the eating quality of lamb meat, highlighting the need to consider diet type in tandem with meat eating quality when selecting finishing systems for pasture fed lambs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":21758,"journal":{"name":"Small Ruminant Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139941999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
