Undescended condition of the testes into the scrotal sac is known as Cryptorchidism.
Cryptorchidism, also known as undescended testis, is the failure of one or both testes to descend into the scrotum. It is the most common birth defect of the male genital tract.

Legal Standard for SNF (solid not fat) content of sheep and goat milk is 9.0%.
SNF or solids not fat is that nutrient portion present in milk that is other than milk fat and water. It consists of protein, carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus. When SNF is combined with milk fat, then it is called total solids.
The legal standards for Goat or sheep milk specify that it may be either raw pasteurized, boiled, flavoured, or sterilized milk containing minimum milk fats of 3.5% or minimum milk SNF of 9%.

Mad itch is mostly a disease of Swine.
Aujeszky's disease, or mad itch, is a viral disease mainly of cattle and swine but also affects sheep, goats, dogs, cats, raccoons, opossums, skunks and rodents.

Scrapie is a Progressive fatal disease of CNS.
Scrapie is a fatal, degenerative disease affecting the nervous systems of sheep and goats. It is one of several transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), and as such it is thought to be caused by a prion.
Scrapie and other transmissible spongiform encephalopathies are caused by prion disease. Prions were determined to be the infectious agent because transmission is difficult to prevent with heat, radiation and disinfectants, the agent does not evoke any detectable immune response, and it has a long incubation period of between 18 months and 5 years.

Urea supplementation is not recommended if CP content of ruminant diet is above 13%.
Crude protein measures the nitrogen content of a feedstuff, including both true protein and non-protein nitrogen. The general rule of thumb is that forages with a CP concentration of 7% or greater are adequate to meet a mature cow's CP requirements. But if it is above 13% urea supplementation is not recommended.
The amount of urea included in concentrate mixtures for cattle or sheep should not exceed 3% and usually the addition of 1 to 1.5% will prove adequate.

The manure contains average amount of 2.83% nitrogen (N), 2.54% phosphorus (P), 0.10% potassium (K), 6.99% calcium (Ca), and 0.53% magnesium (Mg) on a dry-weight basis.

Frieswal breed developed from the cross between Holstein × Sahiwal.
The Australian Friesian Sahiwal is an Australian breed of dairy cattle whose development commenced in the 1960s by the Queensland Government.

Of this total fat, 11.3 grams are saturated fat, 4.2 grams are monounsaturated fat and less than a gram is a polyunsaturated fat. A glass of sheep's milk also has 66 milligrams of cholesterol.
