Rumen biohydrogenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids in high quality pasture
(Lincoln University, 2007)
The intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acids, can prevent many diseases such as coronary heart disease, cancer, diabetes and hypertension. This work looked at aspects ...
Typing of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and relationship to protection in poultry
(Lincoln University, 2000)
This study deals with the detection and differentiation of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) strains present in New Zealand, describes pathology caused by field strains and evaluates protection given by an attenuated live ...
Effect of plant density on soybean seed yield and quality
(Lincoln University, 2003)
The effects of plant density on the growth, development, seed yield and seed quality of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) were investigated in the 2001/2002 season on a Wakanui silt loam soil at Lincoln University, ...
A study of seed vigour in kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala DC.)
(Lincoln University, 2003)
The present study investigated variables for the accelerated ageing (AA) test for kale, the effect of seed development stage and post-cutting environment, sowing date, pod position and seed size on kale seed vigour, and ...
Biological control of Botrytis cinerea in lettuce & strawberry crops
(Lincoln University, 2005)
Two preliminary biological control screens were developed, using lettuce & strawberry as model systems, to test potential biocontrol micro-organisms for their ability to control Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of grey ...
Shading effects of Pinus radiata on productivity and feeding value of cocksfoot pasture in an agroforestry system
(Lincoln University, 2000)
The shading effects of radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) trees on productivity and feeding value of nine-year-old cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata L) plus clovers (Trifolium spp) pasture on Templeton silt loam of medium ...
Response of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) to irrigation, nitrogen and plant population
(Lincoln University, 2005)
A field trial was carried out on a Wakanui silt loam from December 2003 to April 2004 at Lincoln University, Canterbury to determine the influence of irrigation (nil and full), nitrogen (N) at 0 and 150 kg/ha N and a range ...
Identification of genetic markers associated with wool quality traits in merino sheep
(Lincoln University, 2007)
A candidate gene approach was used to identify potential genetic markers associated with wool quality traits including mean fibre diameter (MFD), fibre diameter standard deviation (FDSD), coefficient of variation of fibre ...
Phomopsis castanea infection levels in chestnut from the North and South Islands of New Zealand
(Lincoln University, 2001)
The nut rot attributed to the fungus 'Phomopsis castanea' (Sacc.) causes serious losses to the New Zealand chestnut industry. In anticipation of the likely increased importance of the chestnut industry in New Zealand, a ...
Nutritional and immunological interrelationships in response to nematode infections in periparturient ewes
(Lincoln University, 2004)
The periparturient rise in gastrointestinal (GI) nematode egg output from the ewe is a well-established phenomenon. The immune function of the host is thought to relax during this period. Nutrition may play an important ...
