“…Tapeworm infection (groups PT, MT, 0T) generally increased urea concentrations in parasitized rats. Dimitrijević et al (2013) also reported that serum urea levels in sheep infected with rhabditid nematodes (Strongyloides papillosus) were higher than those in untreated and uninfected sheep. Therefore, it is possible that nematode infection can also increase serum urea levels in a host.…”

Heavy metal contamination is a major environmental issue that affects the ecology of ecosystems and, consequently, health of live beings. Heavy metals occur through natural sources and anthropogenic emissions of industrial and agricultural origins.The common rat tapeworm (Hymenolepis diminuta, Cestoda, Platyhelminthes) is a common parasite of rodents (including laboratory rodents) but it is known to infect humans as well. For this reason, there is an idea that experimental infection with H. diminuta may serve as a promising model for helminth therapy of human immunemediated inflammatory diseases (IMIDs) because the cestode establishes long-term, stable colonization in hosts and modulates the immune system without causing bacterial dysbiosis (Kosik-Bogacka

“…As the Lipe type is reared in the traditional habitat with abundant pastures, the meat has also a unique sensory and chemical composition, which has been increasingly appreciated by the consumers [16]. The resilience of the Lipe type, and its successful adaptation to the traditional habitat [17], provide a good opportunity for rational utilization in the conservation process.…”

The aim of this study was to emphasize the importance of conservation of the Lipe sheep, as a local endangered type of Zackel breed, and to perform a comprehensive phenotypic characterization in order to ensure a better use and preservation of this genetic resource. In addition, we compared the results of a detailed morphometric characterization of the modern Lipe sheep carried out in the present study with the morphometric parameters of the native form of this breed described in 1935. The comparative analysis revealed the development dynamics of the local Lipe sheep in the traditional habitat, over a period of nearly one century. Throughout this period, different factors affecting Lipe sheep management, such as biogeografic, agro-economic, sociocultural and others, led to significant population erosion, and to the current status of the Lipe sheep as an endangered genetic resource. Although a slight increase has been registered in some body measurements, the major body indexes of the Lipe sheep, such as body format, body compactness, body massiveness, body proportion, pelvic, and head index, remained without significant fluctuations over the last century (p>0.05). Body length of the modern type still exceeds the height at withers, which was also recorded in the native Lipe sheep nearly 100 years ago. A prominent sexual dimorphism is still evident. Therefore, our comparative analysis showed no significant differences between the native and modern form of Lipe sheep in their body format and growth potential. The slight increases in absolute body measurements of the modern Lipe type we recorded could be linked to better housing conditions and improved quality of feed, without application of strategic selection measures over the last 100 years. The importance of conservation of this ovine resource is less economical, but mostly cultural, historical and heritage oriented, and still essential for the survival of the breed.

“…Recognizing that locally adapted animal breeds gained genetic resistance and adaptability through the evolutionary process, breeding strategies in sustainable farming practices today are far more attuned to the preservation and utilization of autochthonous breeds [13]. Investigations of specifi c characteristics of autochthonous sheep breeds, especially advanced characterization of the productive potentials and specifi c product characteristics are important topics for a sustainable conservation strategy [11,14].…”

Evaluation of Zackel Lamb Meat Quality with the Aim of Increasing the Conservation Value of the Breed

et al. 2014

The objective of the study was to perform and evaluate the advanced phenotypic characterization of endangered Zackel sheep types, especially their productive potential and meat quality traits. Meat quality characteristics (m. longissimus dorsi) were evaluated in lambs of three types of autochthonous Zackel sheep: Sjenica sheep, Lipe sheep and Vlashko Vitoroga sheep, reared in traditional habitats in a sustainable management system. For the evaluation of sensory characteristics of lamb meat, quantitative descriptive analysis was performed according to ISO 6564:1985, i.e. structural intensity scale of seven points. All Zackel meat samples had an overall acceptability, the most favorable being in Sjenica sheep, with detected differences between Sjenica and Vlashko Vitoroga sheep (p<0.01), as well as between Lipe and Vlashko Vitoroga sheep (p<0.05). For the determination of fatty acids profi le the prepared samples were analyzed using gas chromatography. The results showed that all tested lamb meat samples contain favorable amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The average content of conjugated linoleic acid was higher in Sjenica lamb meat compared with Lipe lamb meat, and the difference was signifi cant (p<0.01). It is also shown that examined samples of Sjenica, Lipe and Vlashko Vitoroga lambs, compared to many other exotic and local breeds, were characterized by preferable values of n-6:n-3 fatty acid ratio. Polyunsaturated fatty acid n-6:n−3 ratio difference between tested Zackel types was not signifi cant. The favorable fatty acid profi le, important for human health and especially for infant and children nutrition, raises the interest for sustainable production and conservation of Zackel sheep.
