Plasma total T3 and T4 concentrations in goats at different physiological stages, as affected by the energy intake

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different concentrate levels in the diet on plasma 3-3′-5-triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroid concentrations in does of different physiological conditions were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonality of plasma testosterone in males of four Mediterranean goat breeds and in three different climatic conditions

TL;DR: It is suggested that the body condition of sheep deteriorates because the reduced quantity and quality of pasture changes the sheep rumen, which in turn limits absorption of volatile fatty acid.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of summer rainfall variations on sheep body state and farming sustainability in sub-Mediterranean pastoral systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the summer rainfall values leading to a decrease of semi-extensive farming system sustainability in sub-Mediterranean regions, where the grassland aboveground phytomass production peaks in late spring and drops in summer, when the decrease of the pasture feed value may lead to the worsening of animal welfare.
