	abstract = {A survey of 110 beef cattle farmers within Waitomo Country was used to identify the main farm and farmer factors associated with adoption of three beef cow technologies. It was found that 48\% of farmers had adopted mating of heifers to calve at two years of age; 43\% had adopted breeding from dairy beef crossbred cows; and 60\% were using terminal beef breeding bulls.  Overall, 30\% of the farmers had adopted none of the technologies; 20\% had adopted one of the technologies; 25\% had adopted all three of the technologies. The levels of adoption were higher than those expected from national statistics. An assessment was made of the relationship of demographic indicators with technology adoption. Farmers{\textquoteright} age, education and sources of information were associated with technology uptake. A number of business indicators were included in the survey. Gross farm income, farm expenditure, stocking rate, paddock number, stock weighing, were found to be associated with adoption of at least one of the technologies. The beliefs that farmers had about their core enterprise - beef breeding cows, was found to be closely associated with their adoption decisions. It is shown that evaluation of new technologies in relation to the core enterprise beliefs held by individual farmers should be included when considering research programmes of potential value to the industry.},

	abstract = {The expansion of molecular biology across most biological fields has meant an increasing application of this technology to agriculture. One of the most exciting new areas to emerge has been that of transgenic animal production. Genes, from a variety of sources, can be incorporated into the early embryo and therefore effectively alter the genotype, and even the physiology of an animal. Most of the work has been conducted using the laboratory mouse. Translation of the technology to the domestic animal has not met with great success, partly because of the genes and promoters chosen and partly because of the difficulty and expense in obtaining large numbers of suitable early embryos for gene incorporation. An efficient gene incorporation system is cow embryos ideally requires the development of a number of novel embryological techniques. They include in vitro maturation and fertilisation of bovine oocytes from abattoir- sourced ovaries, in-vitro culture to allow the development of fertilised embryos to readily transferable stages, satisfactory techniques for incorporating genes into the embryo and techniques such as embryonic cloning to exploit the transgenic cattle produced. The various techniques, their problems and successes are described in depth in this paper. A research programme has been initiated to link embryology, dairy science and molecular biology techniques with the aim of producing transgenic cattle with modified milk composition.},

	abstract = {Two trials were conducted on water intake of red deer stages to provide a basis on which to determine water requirements for deer farms. In the first trial, water intake from a trough by 13 15-month-old deer stags was monitored for 16 days while they grazed dryland pasture during a spell of dry weather (March - April 1988) in Canterbury. Voluntary water intake (VWI) from the trough was 2.6 litre/hd/d and intake of water ingested in feed (40\% DM) was estimated to be 4.2 litre/hd/d, giving a total water intake (TWI) of 6.8 litre/hd/d (or 0.19 litre/kg W0.75/d). In the second trial, 12 3- to 5-year-old stags were held indoors in pens and fed (n=6) either pasture silage (27\% DM) or pellets (88\% DM) in a crossover design with Period 1 of 33 days duration and Period 2 of 25 days. VWI and DMI were monitored daily for 15 days in Period 1 and 14 days in Period 2. TWI for silage was greater than for the pellets (10.6 v 4.6 litre/hd/d, respectively) but the stags drank more water when consuming pellets. There was evidence of a linear relationship between TWI and DMI.},

	abstract = {Measuring pasture yields to achieve management goals on farms, or in regions, distant from research stations requires techniques both practical and sensitive to localised factors such as soil type, pasture species, and adapted management technology. In addition, such techniques must be compatible with any quantitative comparisons which need to be made between the farm and the distant research station. Pasture dry matter (DM) yield on a paddock scale is measured by a 2-stage process of yield estimation, and calibration to DM. Using data collected in Northland, this paper shows how the methods of DM yield assessment vary according to the end-use. For example, a cursory eye estimate without calibration is suitable for assessing DM for wintering livestock at high grazing pressure, while, for farm cover assessment, detailed yield estimation allied with detailed quadrat cutting could be necessary. The index of total DM used on research stations can be provided on farms by cutting techniques which measure only to a trimmed level and do not include the stubble component to ground level. The stubble component can be an extract value provided by an expert skilled in comparing different pastures.},
