Copper oxide wire particles with special reference to parasitism in lambs
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1988)
The interrelationship between copper oxide wire particles (COWP) treatment and parasitic infection was investigated. Particular emphasis was given to the effect of elevated abomasal pH due to parasitic infection on the ...
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 ...
Metabolic control of wool growth in Romney sheep
(Lincoln University, 1994)
Wool strength is a heritable trait and varies widely between individuals even when they are maintained under equivalent conditions nutritionally. Consequently, it is valid to search for genetic markers of wool strength ...
Mixed grazing of sheep and cattle using continuous or rotational stocking
(Lincoln University, 1997)
Two consecutive experiments were conducted to test a hypothesis that mixed grazing outcome is influenced by the type of stocking system applied. The objective of both experiments was to investigate the influence of co-grazing ...
A study of the grazing preference of sheep on developed and undeveloped grassland at a high-country site
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1975)
There are now some 57 million sheep and 9 million cattle in New Zealand (N.Z. Meat and Wool Bds Econom. Serv. 1974). For most of the year almost all of them graze pasture of mixed botanical composition. New Zealand has ...
Metabolism of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins in sheep
(Lincoln University, 1991)
This thesis describes two approaches for studying of lipoprotein metabolism in sheep. The first approach involves the assay of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity to determine the role of lipoprotein-triacylglycerol fatty ...
A comparison of export lamb sire breeds
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1980)
A comparison of export lamb sire breeds was conducted on
three properties in the Canterbury area. The purpose of this trial was to identify significant differences between, and to rank the following breeds: Coopworth, ...
Studies on neoplasms of sheep : with emphasis on adenocarcinoma of the small intestine
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
Scarcity of data has lead to confusion concerning the prevalence, common sites and types of neoplastic diseases in sheep. Sheep neoplasm diagnoses were retrieved from veterinary pathology laboratories in New Zealand (316 ...
Comparative studies of the effects of molybdenum and sulphur on copper metabolism in sheep Ovis aries and red deer Cervus elaphus
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1988)
The difference between sheep and deer in the effects of molybdenum (Mo) and sulphur (S) on copper (Cu) metabolism was investigated in two dietary experiments (Chapter 4) using 8 animals of each species. In Exp 1 the animals ...
The economics of controlling gorse in hill country comparing goat and sheep grazing combinations with the chemical method
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1983)
The aim of this study was to assess the economics of controlling gorse in hill country, comparing the use of goat and sheep grazing to chemical control. The New Zealand environment has suited the growth of gorse (an ...
