Identification of horned and polled Bos taurus using a gene test
(Lincoln University, 2017-11-10)
The absence of horns in Bos taurus is under the genetic control of the autosomal dominant Polled locus which has been genetically mapped to the centromeric region of cattle chromosome 1 (BTA1). The position of the Polled ...
Sustainable control of internal parasites in ruminants
(Lincoln University (Canterbury, N.Z.). Animal and Veterinary Sciences Group., 1997-06)
Internal parasites have been a problem for animals, probably since the dawn of evolution. However, domestication and the constraints we impose on animals, particularly ruminants, by restricting selection of forage and ...

Potential anthelmintic properties of nitrogenous fertilisers
(Lincoln University, 2016)
This dissertation describes a series of experiments designed to understand the potential anthelmintic properties of nitrogenous fertilisers for control of gastrointestinal parasites. Anthelmintic administration is no longer ...
Will the New Zealand deer industry remain competitively profitable in the future?
(Lincoln University, 2014)
The New Zealand Deer Industry experienced no apparent animal productivity gains in the decade leading up to 2004 while the competing red meat sectors increased productivity significantly. Compounding this issue for the ...
Nitrogen isotopic fractionation and nitrogen use efficiency in beef and dairy cattle
(Lincoln University, 2014)
Future rises in world population, increased demand for food production and greater concern for environmental emissions means that new strategies are required for sustainable growth of ruminant industries. Improvement of ...
Characterisation of genes associated with sheep growth and carcass traits
(Lincoln University, 2014)
Animal growth and carcass composition are of commercial importance for sheep meat production. Growth and fat deposition are affected by both environmental factors and genetic factors. Genetic selection to produce leaner, ...
Optimising a weighing protocol for sheep
(Lincoln University, 2014)
A series of experiments designed to investigate live weight error and analyse the effect fasting and multiple weighing has on live weight measurements were carried out. In the first experiment 24 mixed aged ewes were fasted ...
