Forage utilization by kids and lambs
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Comparative aspects of intake, digestibility, partitioning of digestion, energy requirement, energy utilization and water metabolism of kids and lambs have been made.
Ad libitum intake and digestibility were determined ...
The effects of foliar diseases and irrigation on root development, yield and yield components of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Studies were conducted on three field trials of wheat cv. Kopara to investigate the lack of compensation by later determined components of yield because of early disease constraints. The investigation was based on the ...
Studies on the luteoviruses beet western yellows virus and subterranean clover red leaf virus
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1984)
Beet western yellows virus (designated in this study as BWYVNZ) was shown to occur in New Zealand and cause yellowing in beet (Beta vulgaris L.) and turnip (Brassica rapa L.) crops in Canterbury.
Subterranean clover red ...
Factors influencing insulin yield and secretion from the ovine pancreas
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1982)
The ovine pancreas was studied to determine the yield of insulin, the effect of dietary treatments on insulin yield and factors which influence the secretion of insulin from the gland.
Thus, pancreas glands were collected ...
Kinetic aspects of calcium metabolism in forage fed sheep
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1986)
The kinetics of calcium metabolism in forage fed sheep has been investigated using ⁴⁵Calcium and compartmental analysis, using the SAAM program. Two physiological states, lactation and growth, were studied. During early ...
Utilization of low quality roughage by goats and sheep
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1988)
A sequential series of studies was conducted to investigate the utilization of low quality roughage by goats and sheep. It has been suggested that goats were able to eat more of, and possibly better digest, low quality ...
Nutritional value of mixed diets in cattle
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1985)
Field trials suggest that the nutritive value of high quality, high moisture feeds may be improved by the addition of a small quantity of roughage.
The nutritional value to steers of two high qualities, high moisture ...
The effects of Paclobutrazol on the growth, morphology and distribution of dry matter in tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Bellevue)
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
Two experiments were conducted to study the effects of paclobutrazol supplied as a root application (via the nutrient solution) on the growth of glasshouse-grown tomatoes cv. Bellevue. In experiment 1, the plants were ...
Studies in normal and manipulated growth of sheep with special reference to skeletal growth
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
A series of studies on growth of sheep was carried out to investigate the role of sex hormones. The experimental approaches involved alteration of the endocrinological environment by administration of oestradiol or by ...
Yield-quality relationships in some New Zealand wheat cultivars
(Lincoln College, University of Canterbury, 1987)
In May 1985, four cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.): Rongotea, Oroua, Weka and Otane were sown into a Templeton silt loam. Two levels of early nitrogen were applied at the mid-tillering stage; nil N or 112 kg N ...
