	abstract = {Two experiments, involving a total 78 Southdown rams from high- and low- backfat lines, were carried out to examine the relationship between subcutaneous fat percent of a rack cut and subcutaneous fat percent of the whole carcass side. A simple regression was as effective as multiple regressions for 30 carcasses (Group 1), but for each equation there was a significant selection-line effect on the intercept. When the usual direct regression coefficient was replaced by an inverse or a geometric co- efficient, the selection line effect was not significant. The 3 prediction equations were evaluated by comparing predicted side subcutaneous fat percent with actual values for a separate lot of 48 ram carcasses (Group 2). The correlation between predicted and actual values was high, but the selection-line effect was significant for all 3 equations. These results serve to emphasis that even within a breed and sex, and for relations with high correlations, there may be problems with the stability of the prediction equations. This could introduce a bias into conclusions.},

	abstract = {The results of experiments with Friesian cows with breeding indices of 126 (HBI) or 102 (LBI) are presented. HBI cows produced an average of 153 kg milkfat/cow in the 1979 to 1981 lactations and LBI cows produced 125 kg milkfat/cow. HBI cows lost 0.7 of a condition score during lactation whereas LBI cows maintained their condition score. In 2 of the 4 staff feeding experiments the dry matter intake of pasture/kg 0.75 was significantly higher for HBI cows than LBI cows. There were no differences between the 2 groups of cows in their ability to metabolise dietary energy, nor in their heat production. JBI cows partitioned a greater proportion of their dietary energy to milk energy than LBI cows. Blood samples taken hourly for 24 h periods from cows fed indoors were analysed for growth hormone, insulin, glucose, },
