Engineering and acute physiological testing of a retinal neurostimulator
… in acute testing in a highorder mammal (Ovis aries) so as to assess the capabilities of the device to elicit cortical potentials as a direct result of stimulation of the neural retina. Testing was performed under conditions similar to those anticipated in chronic in-situ configurations …

The effect of burning on saw trauma characteristics in bone
… after burning at various temperatures. Fifteen Ovis aries femora were used as an analogue for human long bones, and were traumatised with a hand saw, creating false start, incomplete, and complete cuts. Five femurs per temperature group were subjected to burning at 400 °C, 600 °C, and 800 °C for …

Use of Molecular Methods to Authenticate Animal Species and Tissue in Bovine Liver Dietary Supplements
… horse (<em>Equus caballus</em>), sheep (<em>Ovis aries</em>), and pork (<em>Sus scrofa</em>) was used to verify species. Samples that failed species identification with multiplex real-time PCR underwent DNA mini-barcoding. Overall, bovine species were detected in 48/53 liver supplements: 35 …

Cryo-electron microscopy studies on ovine mitochondrial complex I
… a novel method for the purification of ovine (Ovis aries) complex I was developed and suitable conditions for cryo-EM imaging established, after extensive screening of detergents and additives. Cryo-EM images were acquired with the recently developed direct electron detector and processed using …

Comparison of Wild-Domestic Sheep Interaction Policies in Bighorn Disease Outbreak Locations in the Continental U.S., 1990-2010
… disease has significantly limited bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) in the western U.S. Interaction with domestic sheep (Ovis aries) has been a primary cause of fatal bighorn disease (typically pneumonia), which has severely reduced or eliminated entire populations. Various wild-domestic sheep …

The effect of burning on pre-incineration trauma in bone
… used to manually inflict trauma on de-fleshed Ovis aries femur bones (n = 18). These bones were later exposed to heat at controlled temperatures of 400°C, 600°C and 800°C for 20 minutes. Three different cut marks including a shallow false start, incomplete cut and a complete transection of the …

Influence of grazing sheep and cattle together and separately on soils, plants and animals
… 1/2 Dorset, 1/4 Finn and 1/4 Rambouillet ewes (Ovis aries) with lambs grazed Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) - white clover (Trifolium repens) in a randomized block design with three replications during 3 yr, to investigate effects of grazing cattle and sheep together and separately on soils, …

Parasite communities and their identification in wild and domestic herbivores in Iceland
… three main Icelandic herbivores, domestic sheep (Ovis aries), wild reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus), and pink-footed goose (Anser brachyrhynchus). In this study parasite community composition overlap of host species was compared to better understand the possible risk of common parasites …

Space and resource use of Cape Vultures at an isolated colony in the Western Cape: importance of livestock agriculture to this thriving population
… sites with carcasses found, 21 (88%) were sheep (Ovis aries) carcasses located on private farmlands and 12% were cattle (Bos taurus) carcasses located at a vulture restaurant 3 km from the colony, and also on private farmland. Thus, we confirmed that this population mainly foraged outside of the …

Developing a strategy for identifying genetically important animals
Livestock researchers often need to sample animals within a breed to serve as a representative sample of the breed. Identifying the most relevant animals to include in research for genotyping, building a reference population, or inclusion in a gene bank is a complex issue. A suboptimal sampling …

THE INTERPRETATION OF EMOTIONS IN SMALL RUMINANTS
… small ruminants (goats, Capra hircus, and sheep, Ovis aries) express emotions, with a particular focus on the acoustic features of vocalisations that can be used as animal-based indicators of the affective states of these animals. To pursue this goal, a multidisciplinary approach was adopted in …
