Kinetic aspects of calcium metabolism in forage fed sheep
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1986)
The kinetics of calcium metabolism in forage fed sheep has been investigated using ⁴⁵Calcium and compartmental analysis, using the SAAM program. Two physiological states, lactation and growth, were studied. During early ...
Utilization of low quality roughage by goats and sheep
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1988)
A sequential series of studies was conducted to investigate the utilization of low quality roughage by goats and sheep. It has been suggested that goats were able to eat more of, and possibly better digest, low quality ...
Investigation of indirect selection criteria and DNA markers for clean wool colour in sheep
(Lincoln University, 1997)
In Experiment 1, progeny test data for 53 Corriedale sires and 1492 offspring were used to estimate heritabilities for and phenotypic and genetic correlations between yellow predictive colour (YPC), greasy (GFW) and clean ...
The implications of spring grazing management on animal liveweight gain, yield and root reserves of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.)
(Lincoln University, 2012)
Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is an important legume for New Zealand dryland farms. To ensure the productivity and persistence of lucerne stands rotational grazing is recommended. However, over spring ewes and lambs are ...
Batten disease : HPLC separation of the c subunits of mitochondrial and vacuolar ATPase stored in Batten disease
(Lincoln University, 1996)
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCL, Batten disease) are a group of fatal inherited neurodegenerative diseases of children and animals, characterised by retinal and brain atrophy. A common finding in these diseases is ...
The effect of terpenes on short term and long term intake of sheep
(Lincoln University, 1994)
Two trials were carried out to test the effect of terpene type and concentration on short term and long term intake in sheep. In trial one, short term intake rate measurements were performed on five wethers with a mean ...
Straw feeding trials with sheep
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1967)
The cereal industry produces a lot of by-products such as barley, oat and wheat straws, Jawar and Bajara straws. These straws have high contents of crude fibre and low protein.
When they are fed as such, the animal does ...
Identification of genetic markers associated with wool quality traits in merino sheep
(Lincoln University, 2007)
A candidate gene approach was used to identify potential genetic markers associated with wool quality traits including mean fibre diameter (MFD), fibre diameter standard deviation (FDSD), coefficient of variation of fibre ...
Genetic control of lean tissue growth rate in sheep : genetic parameters and responses to selection
(Lincoln University, 1995)
Performance data sets were available from lean tissue growth rate (LTGR) selection experiments for Border Leicester (n=1070), Coopworth (n=3720) and Dorset Down (n=1439) flocks as well as a Corriedale progeny test flock ...
Nutritional and immunological interrelationships in response to nematode infections in periparturient ewes
(Lincoln University, 2004)
The periparturient rise in gastrointestinal (GI) nematode egg output from the ewe is a well-established phenomenon. The immune function of the host is thought to relax during this period. Nutrition may play an important ...
