  • Advanced breeding techniques of small ruminants and camelids
    Clark-Deener, Sherrie (2015-05-14)
    After a producer has gained knowledge and experience with the breeding management of their herd or flock, they may decide to attempt a variety of assisted reproductive techniques. What exactly is included in the category of assisted reproductive techniques? The author has included timed artificial insemination – both transcervical and laparoscopic, embryo transfer, and semen collection and freezing as the techniques to be discussed in this manuscript. In technical terms, the use of various pharmaceuticals for manipulation of the estrous cycle is assisted reproductive technology, but most authors will include this material when discussing the breeding management of groups as was done in this series of proceedings articles.

  • Breeding management of small ruminants and camelids
    Clark-Deener, Sherrie (2015-05-14)
    Understanding the basic physiological characteristics of sheep and goats are essential for a successful breeding program. This knowledge will insure that the males and females are in the correct stage of their reproductive cycle during the proper season for the appropriate timing of an insemination. This proceedings article will outline the major characteristics affecting the reproduction of small ruminants and how to manage their breeding program.

  • Medications used in small ruminants and camelids
    Clark-Deener, Sherrie; Guynn, Sierra (2015-05-14)
    With the increase in smaller farms wanting to raise sheep and goats as well as camelids (alpacas and llamas) in the U.S., veterinarians who do not routinely treat small ruminants and camelids may be asked about medications that can be used in their treatment. This proceedings article will discuss medications – including vaccines, antibiotics, anthelmintics, etc. that can be used to treat sheep and goats as well as camelids. The majority of these dosages have been acquired from a number of veterinarians who has experience with these species and have published guidelines.
