	abstract = {Two experiments were carried out to measure the effects of fitting polyethylene body covers on the winter milk production of mature cows, and oxygen consumption by calves. In the first experiment, the covers had no significant effects on the winter milk production or liveweight of lactating cows grazing on pasture supplemented with silage. In the second experiment, oxygen consumption by young calves exposed to an air temperature of 9 C, 8 km/hour wind and simulated rain was significantly reduced by the wearing of covers (by 40\% during the period of rain). Covers offer an effective, low- cost method for reducing the adverse effect of cold wet weather on young calves reared out-of-doors.},

	abstract = {Analyses of live weights at birth, weaning (4 months of age) and  at the yearling stage from 360 fallow deer born in 19887 to 1990 were  carried out to examine non-genetic effects and to provide preliminary  estimates of heritability and genetic correlations. Weights of breeding  does were also analysed. Fifteen sires (17 mating groups) were  involved, with 2 sires repeated across years. After adjustment for  fixed effects, coefficients of phenotypic variation were 10.5, 8.2 and  5.7\% respectively for the three weights. The range of birth dates  within year, excluding 3 outliers, averaged 36 days (s.d. 7.9 days).  The differences in weight between males and females were 0.27, 2.5 and  9.3 kg at birth, weaning and the yearling stage. Regressions of live  weights on birth date were zero, -0.15 },

	abstract = {Seasonal wool growth and staple strength were measured in mature, non-pregnant Romney ewes individually penned indoors or confined as a group in a yard outdoors and offered a maintenance ration of lucerne chaff. Clean wool growth was lowest during winter (4.6 and 5.0 g/d for indoor and outdoor ewes, respectively) and greatest during summer for indoor (11.3 g/d) or spring for outdoor (11.9 g/d) ewes. Efficiency of wool growth (g wool growth/d per kg dry matter intake/d) for indoor sheep was 5.6, 8.8, 11.8 and 7.8 during winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively. There were positive relationships between mean wool growth, staple strength and efficiency.},
