“…Similar results were also reported by Dayo et al (2015) for Vogan sheep (71.65±5.79, 71.02 ± 6.03 and 89.3 ± 9.25 cm), for Sahelian sheep (75.43 ± 5.43 cm, 74.83 ± 5.55 cm and 94.57 ± 8.82 cm) in Togo. Likewise, Laoun et al (2015) reported the same observations for Rambi sheep (77.32 ± 0.12, 107.61 ± 0.25 and 91.89 ± 0.26 cm) from Algeria.…”

Phenotypic characterization is used to identify and document diversity within and between distinct breeds, based on their observable attributes. Study to assess the body characteristics and variability of 204 Djallonké (West African dwarf) ewes was conducted in three agro-ecological zones (central, western and northern) of Côte d'Ivoire, from November 2016 to April 2017. Animals were described using visual appreciation of the body hair coat (colour type and pattern), hair length, ear orientation, tail type and the facial (head) profile. The linear body measurements, such as ear and tail length, muzzle length and width, height at wither, chest depth, and chest girth were also described. The data collected were subjected to principal component (PCA) and discriminant analysis. Results showed that the most common Djallonké ewes had erected ear (87.25%), thin tail and straight face. The dominant colour pattern of the body hair coat was patchy (64.22%) followed by plain (32.84%) and spotted (2.94%). The agro-ecological zone had a significant (p˂0.01) effect on some linear body measurements (muzzle length, ear length and height wither). Based on PCA performed with all the above morphological variabilities, we were able to segregate the Djallonké ewes' into three clusters (I, II and III). Discriminant analysis revealed that 76.27% sheep of cluster I, 92.80% sheep of cluster II and 90% sheep of cluster III were correctly classified in their original cluster. This result indicated that Ivorian Djallonké sheep population comprises of three well characterized morphological types of animals. This information could constitute a basis for further characterization and development of conservation strategies for Djallonké sheep breeding in Côte d'Ivoire.

Background: The Rembi sheep breed is renowned for its exceptional meat quality and significant economic profit. Nevertheless, there is a gap in research on the hepatic parameters of this breed in Algeria despite the considerable value of the liver in the Algerian population’s diet. Objectives: The research aimed to determine the impact of physiological factors (age, physiological stage, and body condition score) on biochemical sheep liver parameters. Methods: Sixty clinically healthy female Rembi breed sheep, aged between 3 months and 7 years, raised at the Technical Institute of Livestock (ITELV) Ksar Chellala Farm in Tiaret Province, Algeria, were selected for biochemical analysis and assessing aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), albumin (ALB), and total protein (TP). Results: The concentrations of AST, ALP, and GGT increased significantly (P≤0.001) in young sheep, while ALT and TP levels decreased (P≤0.05). However, a high level of GGT (P<0.001) was also observed in lactating ewes, and during pregnancy, females have a low level of ALP (P<0.001). Furthermore, the body condition score does not affect any of the measurements. Conclusion: Considering the animal’s age and physiological stage is critical before interpreting the results.

P REGNANT animals need high energy to maintain pregnancy and embryo development.Animals supplemented with low energy diets are predisposed to inflammatory processes, immune system dysfunction, and maternal metabolic issues during pregnancy. This research work aimed to declare the changes in hemato-biochemical parameters in pregnant Rembi sheep. Thirty healthy Rembi ewes were synchronized in October 2020 for the current study. Beginning in the first month of pregnancy, blood was taken monthly from the jugular vein. Our results showed that plasma glucose (GLU), urea, and globulin(Glob) decreases were highly significant (P<0.05) during the last two months of pregnancy. Conversely, the values of triglyceride (TG), Albumin (Alb), Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT), and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) recorded a highly significant increase at the end of the pregnancy. Furthermore, serum levels of Calcium (Ca) and Phosphorus (P) recorded a highly significant (P<0.05) decrease during the last month of gestation. Total protein (TP) and Gammaglutamyl Transferase (GGT) showed significant (P<0.05) decreases during the first gestational month. Regarding the hematological parameters, especially erythrogram, in the last month of gestation, ewes present macrocytic hypochromic anemia with a highly significant (P<0.05) decrease in the values of red blood cells (RBC) and hemoglobin (HBC). White blood cells (WBC) were found to be significantly higher (P< 0.05) in the final month of pregnancy compared to the first. Blood parameters may change during pregnancy, and that can reflect the health of the ewes.
