In addition to milk volumefrom herd testing, the concentrations of fat, crude protein(total nitrogen), casein, whey and lactose were determined.The data was collected from over 3,000 cows born in 1996and first calving in the 1998 spring season, these beingpredominantly the daughters of approximately 220 SPSbulls. The milk characteristics were measured at three herdtests on each cow, with each herd having a herd test in eachof the Sept/Oct, Nov/Dec and Jan/Feb periods. Hereafter,we refer to these three periods as stages of lactation.},

	abstract = {Effects of underfeeding and supplementation on detailed milk components for 18 identical twin sets calving in July/August were assessed. Three treatments; 65\% ad libitum pasture (R), 65\% ad libitum pasture + 5.0 kg of cereal grain (S) and ad libitum pasture (F) were imposed in early (E), mid (M) and late (L) lactation. Milk was analysed for contents of fat, lactose and 12 nitrogen components. Treatment effects were generally greatest in E and M and often absent in L. Differences between F and R were significant by at least P>0.05, for 10, 7 and 2 of the 12 nitrogen components for E, M, L. Comparable differences for F-S were for E 6, M 5 and L 1. Changes were small in absolute terms and the extreme differences in type and level of feed suggest there is limited opportunity to manipulate nitrogen components in milk by feeding practices used in NZ. },

	abstract = {Inherited protein variation in the blood of domestic species can provide the means to resolve cases of uncertain parentage. In red deer, protein variation has been described from natural populations in Europe, although the inheritance of this variation has not been verified using family data. This paper examines protein variation in the blood of New Zealand farmed red deer and tests the inheritance of each protein variant using family data from 46 matings. The 2 most variable proteins reported in European deer, transferrin and isocitrate dehydrogenase, were also variable in New Zealand farmed deer. The inheritance of variation in each of these proteins was consistent with co-dominant Mendelian inheritance at a single locus. In addition variation was found in plasma proteins in the postalbumins and the gamma-globulins. Variation in the postalbumins was consistent with co- dominant Mendelian inheritance at a single locus while variation in the gamma-globulins did not appear to be inherited. The inherited protein variants identified in red deer provide a blood test which detected 70\% of the possible mismatches between parents and calves in the sample of 46 matings.},
