	abstract = {The study involved 128 animals (19 Carpetmasters, 20 Drysdales, 19   Elliottdales, 20 Merinos, 23 Romneys and 27 Tukidales) maintained on   improved pastures at Oberon, on the central tablelands of NSW. For the   intake measurements, animals were stratified on liveweight into five groups   within breed, and one animal selected from each group at random for dozing   with controlled-release alkane capsules.    The intake of Romneys (1.30 kgOM/day), Merinos (1.20) and Tukidales   (1.18) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of Carpetmasters (0.98),   Drysdales (0.78) and Elliottdales (0.80). There was no significant interaction   between breed and season, with all breeds having a lower (P<0.01) intake in   July (0.63) kgOM/d) than February (1.43 kgOM/d). When the intakes were   expressed in terms of metabolic liveweight, there was again a highly   significant difference between the intake in February and July (0.078 and   0.040 kgOM/g/LW0.75, respectively). On a metabolic liveweight basis  breed   differences also still existed, with Merinos (0.082) having higher (P<0.05)   intakes than the other breeds.   },
