The data must be relevant to participants, easily collected, and processed into a form that is easily understood. NZFT2000 is an example of how these principles can be put into practice for the benefit of individual sheep farmers and the whole sheep industry. },

	abstract = {Hogget lamb mortality in the Waihora sheep improvement programme from 1970/80 has ranged from 18 to 35\% (mean = 24\%). Hogget lambs born during the 1981 and 1982 lambings were used to study the timing, magnitude and causes of lamb mortality. Mean mortality to weaning were 33\% and 28\% in each year. The distribution of deaths was similar in each of the periods: at birth, born alive but died by day 3 and died between day 4 and docking. Dystocia was the single largest cause of deaths to day 3 accounting for about 13 lamb/100 lambs born. Birth weight was an important factor in lamb deaths with an optimum range of 3.3 to 4.1 kg for minimum mortality.},

	abstract = {Marshall Romney ewes had higher ovulation rates and percentage births than control Romney ewes. These differences were accounted for by the higher live weights of Marshall Romney ewes. Differential grazing in 1979 produced ewes with different condition scores and live weight but the same body size. Ovulation rates were higher in the heavier ewes with the higher condition score. Body size and condition score contributed approximately equally to the variation in the live weight and both accounted for a significant proportion of variation in ovulation rate. However live weight accounted for more of the variation in ovulation rate than body size and/or condition score.},
