Effects Of Glycerol And Sire Breed On Growth And Carcass Traits Of Finishing Wether Lambs, R.M. Beck, A.E. Wertz-Lutz, C.L. Wright, J.E. Held
Effects Of Glycerol And Sire Breed On Growth And Carcass Traits Of Finishing Wether Lambs, R.M. Beck, A.E. Wertz-Lutz, C.L. Wright, J.E. Held
South Dakota State University Sheep Research Report, 2014
Objectives: To evaluate crude glycerin as an energy source for finishing lambs and to determine the effect of sire breed on finishing lamb growth performance and carcass characteristics. In light of previous research, the hypothesis for this experiment was that glycerol would have an energy value similar to that of corn when fed in high concentrate diets to finishing lambs.

Estimating survival and documenting causes and timing of mortality events in neonate bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) improves understanding of population ecology and factors influencing recruitment. During 2010–2012, we captured and radiocollared 74 neonates in the Black Hills, South Dakota, of which 95% (70) died before 52 weeks of age. Pneumonia (36%) was the leading cause of mortality followed by predation (30%). We used known fate analysis in Program MARK to estimate weekly survival rates and investigate the influence of intrinsic variables on 52-week survival. Model {S1 wk, 2–8 wks, .8 wks} had the lowest AICc (Akaike’s Information Criterion corrected for …
