	abstract = {Six nutritional regimes were imposed on Friesian heifers (n=270) from weaning to 22 months of age to determine the effect of level of feeding during rearing on subsequent milk production. Nutritional treatments resulted in groups weighing 480, 406, 455, 376, 398, and 342 kg (P<0.05) at 22 months of age. However, once the heifers entered the herd differences liveweight were lost. By 28 months of age the difference between the heaviest and lightest treatment groups was only 44 kg (P<0.05). Level of feeding from 90 to 200 kg liveweight had no effect on subsequent milkfat or protein yield (P>0.05). Heifers offered a high feeding level after 200 kg produced 9.6 kg more milkfat (P<0.01) and 6.6 kg more protein (P<0.01) than heifers offered the low feeding regime. These data suggest that Friesian heifers produce an additional 0.12 kg MS over their first lactation for each additional 1 kg liveweight gained during rearing. },

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. },

Annual applications of 213 and 379 kg N/ha increased annual net herbage  accumulation by 3350 and 4650 kg DM/ha respectively. At 3.24 cows/ha  extra DM resulted in a three fold increase in pasture conservation, providing  silage for use in late lactation, and increasing production by 72 kg MS/cow.  The extra pasture reduced the amount of supplement required at 4.48  cows/ha. Offering supplementary feed when cows were over grazing or  being under fed resulted in an extra 43g milkfat and 47g milk protein/kg  DM at the low stocking rate and 45g milkfat and 36g milk protein/kg DM at  the high stocking rate. Responses to extra feed were greatest when used to  extend lactation. Increased stocking rates will be necessary to maintain  pasture utilisation when large amounts of extra feed are introduced. },

	abstract = {Near-infrared (1100-2500 nm) reflectance spectra were measured on   128 beef ribeye samples using a scanning monochromometer and calibrated   against standard laboratory analysis to develop a rapid method for measuring   intramuscular fat of beef.    A pilot run was conducted on 38 frozen ribeye samples, ranging in fat   content from 94 to 325g/kg dry weight, to evaluate sample preparation   methods (frozen slices, thawed slices, coarse mince. After scanning of   subsamples, fat content of the sample was then measured using Soxhlet   extraction. Standard error of calibration (SEC) was 9g/kg dry weight for   spectra collected from minced samples compared to 25g/kg for frozen slices   and 15g/kg for thawed slices.    A second set of 90 frozen ribeye samples (fat content range 56-305 g/kg dry   weight) was used to test and improve this calibration, using 3 subsamples of   minced beef per sample. The ability of the initial calibration equation to   predict fat content of these samples was poor. A more robust calibration was   then attempted by pooling the data from the two sets. The SEC of this   extended set was 16 g/kg dry weight (10\% of the sample set mean) and the   multiple R2 of calibration was 0.92. The standard error of prediction for  new samples was estimated from internal cross-validation runs as 19 g/kg.   Prediction of fat content of an independent validation set of 24 samples had a   standard error of 20 g/kg dry weight. Analysis of the calibration results   suggested that a major source of error in the calibration was hererogeneity   between subsamples, with the standard deviation of prediction of different   subsamples from the same ribeye being larger than the standard error of cross   validation.    These results indicate that Near-Infrared reflectance spectroscopy may   provide a rapid objective method for estimating intramuscular fat of beef.   },

	abstract = {Muscle proteolysis is controlled by a number of enzyme systems. The   reported effects of the calcium dependent proteinases (or calpains) on   myofibrillar structure have led to the speculation that this enzyme system  may   have an important role in regulating muscle growth and the post mortem   ageing process. Although at present there is no clear economic incentive,   meat quality has to be taken into account since the white meats of poultry   and pork are out competing the traditional red meats of lamb and beef.   Meat quality attributes may largely depend on slaughtering and post mortem   ageing regimes, however, variability also originates from the biological   characteristics of muscles which are undoubtedly environmentally and   genetically controlled. The aim of the present experiment is to examine the   effect of genotype, nutrition and their interactions on the calpain system.    Progeny from 3 sire breeds (Texel, Fat Southdowns and Lean Southdowns)   were weaned in December and placed onto one of two growth paths until   May (high (H) or low (L) rate of gain), from May until July these groups   were further divided into groups HH, HL, LL and LH. Animals were   slaughtered at the Ruakura commercial slaughter facility, samples for calpain   analysis were taken from the distal portion of the longissimus dorsi of the   animal within 20 minutes of slaughter. The assays were performed as   outlined by Dobbie et al., (1995).    Calpain-I differed significantly (p<0.05) between genotype (Texel 0.57   SDFat 0.50 SD Lean 0.41 U/g (SED 0.060). Calpastatin was significantly   (P<0.05) affected by plane of nutrition immediately after weaning. (H:2.61   L:2.35 U/g SED 0.126).    The results taken together suggest that complex physiological interactions   exist between genotype and nutrition with respect to the calpain system.   },

Immunisation with porcine FF (1 or 5 ml) did not increase ovulation rates significantly. Active immunisation with an androstenedioned-based immunogen (Androvax), increased the mean monthly ovulation rates 31 to 63\% by increasing the frequency of double and triple ovulations. Immunisation with bFF and Androvax together did not increase ovulation rates any more than immunisation with Androvax alone.
