	abstract = {This paper describes, from the perspective of the main animal genotyping service laboratory, the uptake of DNA tests by the New Zealand livestock industries. We describe a rapid increase in the use of DNA testing over the last 3-4 years in New Zealand. In particular pedigree establishment and verification has shown significant uptake by deer, cattle and sheep breeders. The highest penetration of DNA testing has been in the deer industry where we estimate 30-40\% of the recorded breeding population uses DNA testing to establish and verify pedigrees. The increases have mainly been due to an increase in the number of samples per client rather than an increase in the number of clients using the service.},

	abstract = {P{\`e}re David{\textquoteleft}s deer (PD) have a 49 day longer gestation than red deer (283.4 {\textpm} 6.1 (SD) and 234.4 {\textpm} 3.4 days). In F1 hybrids (PD sire), male progeny had a longer gestation than females (268.8 {\textpm} 6.4, n=10 and 262.0 {\textpm} 4.5, n=10, P<0.01), both greater than the mid-parent mean of 259 days. The male and female progeny of F1 sires and red dams had a gestation length of 249 {\textpm} 5.5 (n=275). Segregation analysis suggests two normal distributions with a difference in means of 7 days. In the reverse hybrid (F1 dams), the gestation length of 242.5 {\textpm} 3.3 days (n=19) was significantly shorter than the backcross hybrid progeny of F1 stags. The control of gestation length in PD hybrids is clearly very complex although we have found evidence of two linked markers which individually account for 2.4 and 2.7 days of the difference in gestation length. },

	abstract = {The  burgeoning  knowledge  associated with  the gene maps of  humans  and mice  can provide  key  information  for  the  identification  of genes  underlying  production  traits  in  livestock.  In  tbeo~~,  it  should  be  possible  to  tramlate  information  associated  with  a  human chromosomal  location  to  a chromosome  location  in  sheep, cat\&  or  deer.  However,  in  practice,  livestock  gene maps often  require  more comparative  links  to  make  accurate  \&anslation  possible.  We  have  taken  a novel  approach to  livestock  comparative  mapping  by  using an interspecies  hybrid  mapping  panel  to  map  both  gene  loci  and  sheep and  cattle  microsatellites.  The  panel  comprises  DNA  from  346  l/4 Pere  David{\textquoteright}s  deer  (Ekxphurus  dnvidinnuj  3/4  red  deer  (Cervus  elaphur)  backcross  progeny  of  male  FI  P\&e David{\textquoteright}s  deer x red deer hybrids.  We  are  using  this  deer  mapping  resource  to  relate  the sheep,  cattle and human gene maps and by  mapping  key  markers from  each.},

	abstract = {Ligand blotting analysis of serum from the horse using radiolabelled IGF-I revealed a protein at 96 kDa which was not present in serum from goat, cow, sheep, deer or donkey. These latter species all displayed five labelled bands in the range 24 to 41 kDa. Conversely these were only weakly labelled in serum from the horse. Size exclusion chromatography of horse serum pre- incubated with radiolabelled IGF-I revealed reduced binding in the 130 kDa peak compared with goat plasma and ligand blotting analysis indicated that 96 kDa protein was present in this peak. The 96 kDa protein from horse serum binds IGF-I and IGF- II specifically and appears to be unique to this species.  The nature of this protein is at present unknown.},
