	abstract = {Ninety 1991 drop Merino wethers, thirty from each of fine, medium   and strong wool strains were randomly allocated on the basis of stratified  live   weight within strains to one of three treatment groups. The first treatment   involved grazing ample good quality natural or irrigated pasture (H)   throughout the experiment so that the sheep remained in good to excellent   condition throughout. The second involved grazing restricted amounts of   pool quality nature pasture (L) throughout the experiment so that the sheep   remained in backward store condition. As a control, a third group (C) grazed   natural pasture such that the sheep subject to seasonal variations in pasture   quality and quantity and their condition varied from store to forward store   throughout the experiment.    Intake was estimated on two occasions; in February 1994, and July 1994, by   dosing with controlled-release alkane capsules. Pasture samples were taken   at these times based on observation of sheep grazing patterns. However,   later analysis showed that the pattern of alkanes in the collected herbage was   different to the alkane pattern in faecal samples, indicating that the herbage   samples were not truly representative of the herbage consumed by the sheep,   particularly at the summer sampling.
