	abstract = {<p>Intestinal parasites are a significant impediment to the productivity of grazing livestock in New Zealand (Scott et al. 2008). They are regarded by New Zealand sheep farmers as their most important animal health issue (Lawrence et al. 2007). The New Zealand deer industry estimated that parasites cost as much as 5\% of the total farm revenue (Mackintosh \&amp; Wilson 2003). On most farms controlling parasites in order to minimise their impact on animal performance relies heavily on the use of anthelmintics (Lawrence et al. 2007), but their continued usefulness is threatened by the development of worm populations resistant to these drugs (Waghorn et al. 2006a, 2006b). Studies aimed at developing more sustainable worm management practices will be important for maintaining the future productivity and profitability of many farming operations.</p>

	abstract = {The expected value of the solution of the differential equation arising from the allometric hypothesis when the variables are random is found. This solution differs from the deterministic solution, so that predictions using the allometric equation which ignore the stochastic nature of the differential equation are biased. When lease squares estimation is carried out using the deterministic solution, ignoring the stochastic nature of the size variable, the estimate of the constant coefficient of the allometric equation may be severely biased. An example shows mild bias in estimates of the maturity parameter, but large bias in the estimate of the constant coefficient. To obtain unbiased estimates of the parameters in the allometric equation a factor equal to the reciprocal of the square of the size variable must be added to the usual log-log regression used to calculate estimates of the parameters. These results have application to models based on the allometric hypothesis, in particular models which are used in studies of carcass composition and the description of maintenance requirements in animal nutrition. When these models are used for prediction they need to be modified to account for any random variation occurring in the size variable.},

	abstract = {An experiment was conducted in which 1402 Romney ewes, aged 2 to 5 years, were treated with intravaginal controlled internal drug releasers (CIDR) followed by 1 of 2 pregnant mares serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) preparations (Pregnecol(r), 530 iu v Pharmochem(r), 460 iu) for mating on 1 of 3 dates (December 19, 28 or January 3). Of the 1402 ewes joined with the ram, 71\% conceived to the first cycle. Conception rates, proportion of ewes conceiving multiples and foetuses per ewe joined were assessed by ultrasound pregnancy diagnosis at day 50 of pregnancy. Reproductive performance was highest in 2-year old ewes but not influenced by previous reproductive history (wet v wet/dry in the previous spring). All measures of reproductive performance declined at later mating dates compared with those at December 19. Substantial premiums were obtained for early-born lambs, and for their dams when slaughtered at weaning the following September. Out-of-season lambing systems appear to offer economic benefits in areas characterised by good winter and spring growth rates but dry summers.},

	abstract = {Glenbrae and Broomfield strains of Corriedale sheep were developed over a period of 19 years by selectively breeding from animals that remained free from clinical footrot when deliberately exposed to natural infection. Recent studies have demonstrated relative advantages in these bloodlines during footrot outbreaks in terms of significantly reduced incidence and severity of infection compared to unselected Corriedales. Similar benefits have also occurred in commercial flocks when first cross offspring of Glenbrae and Broomfield rams were compared to offspring of traditional rams. Introduction to the industry of these apparent genetic gains in footrot resistance has been through 2 approaches. Firstly the Broomfield Corriedale Group Breeding Scheme was established in 1982 with 1420 Sheeplan ewes recorded in 5 flocks screened from an estimated 28,000 ewes. The objective is to breed rams for commercial use utilizing performance records and a footrot challenge prior to selection as 2- tooths. Secondly the Corriedale Sheep Society initiated a top-crossing programme mating 3 Glenbrae footrot resistant rams to 81 registered Corriedale ewes in 1986. Details of these 2 approaches are given.},

	abstract = {Future increases in production efficiency of milk production from pasture will be brought about primarily by increasing the genetic potential of cows to produce milk solids, and by developing grazing systems which combine a high level of herbage utilisation/ha with high dry matter intakes. Grazing often under-utilises herbage in spring, which leads to a reduction in quantity and quality of herbage in summer and autumn with a consequent accelerated decline in cow performance. Higher grazing stocking rates in spring combined with the conservation of a greater pasture area for silage produces an improved pasture and provides additional forage for supplementation in summer and autumn. At present the amount and seasonability of milk production in New Zealand is dictated by pasture production. This gives large variations in production between and within years, and may not represent the most efficient way of using milk processing plant or of satisfying the market{\textquoteright}s needs. Consideration may have to be given to less rigid systems of production involving more flexibility in calving date and a greater use of conserved feed.},

	abstract = {There is increasing evidence that a non-steroidal compound, inhibin, produced by the ovary is involved in the regulation of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) production by the pituitary. Our studies have shown that ovarian inhibin is present in follicular fluid, that it is synthesised exclusively by follicular granulosa cells, that androgens regulate its synthesis and that it is predominantly a product of healthy follicles, i.e. follicles with the potential to attain ovulatory granulosa cell inhibin production which then suppresses pituitary FSH secretion thereby limiting the number of follicles that can be stimulated to develop to ovulatory maturity. Ovulation rates of Romney ewes actively immunised with a semi-purified preparation of inhibin derived from bovine follicular fluid were significantly higher than those of control ewes (2.06 },

	abstract = {The soil type is an important factor influencing the occurrence of trace element deficiencies in grazing animals in New Zealand. Cobalt and selenium deficiencies occur mainly on soils from acidic rocks. Cobalt deficiencies may also occur on soils from more basic parent materials where the soils have been strongly leached. Selenium deficiencies is less easily predicted on the basis of soil characteristics. Copper deficiencies are more likely in stock grazing on peat soils, gley soils, certain pumice soils, saline soils, recent soils and some steepland soils. For all 3 elements, classification of occurrences of deficiency by soil type has provided a basis for delineating areas where deficiencies are likely, areas where they are unlikely and areas of marginal status. This has enabled a rational approach to investigations and the application of treatment and control measures.},
