Introducing rams to a group of ewes that have been kept apart from the rams for a period of time results in the induction of heat about one estrous cycle interval later. This "ram effect" has been used to induce synchronized breeding activity in sheep flocks during the non-seasonal periods. The ram effect is also used to advance the breeding season. As no physical or visual contact between rams and ewes is needed, this effect has been suggested to be mediated by pheromones. 2, record 1, English, - ram%20effect

À l'époque où la production en cage était interdite au Danemark, une race hybride de pondeuses au sol à production élevée, la Skalborg Hybrid, a été développée. Aussitôt que l'interdiction danoise sur les systèmes de cage a été levée en 1979, l'intérêt a disparu en même temps que cette lignée. Aujourd'hui, si l'excellente pondeuse au sol Skalborg avait été conservée, cet environnement de production aurait constitué un avantage. Toutefois, après de nombreuses générations de sélection dans des conditions de production en cage, les animaux sont probablement moins aptes à la production au sol. 2, record 11, French, - pondeuse%20au%20sol
