20 (Xinhua) -- It's long been a joke that New Zealand is a nation more full of sheep than people -- but that's changing, the government statistics agency said Friday. The total number of sheep was down by just over 5 percent year on year to 27.6 million at the end of June last...
High losses of newborn lambs can be especially damaging as it limits the supply of new females to enable flock rebuilding. With extensive systems a major issue is financial pressures on farm labour and the trend over recent times has been towards a higher sheep:stockperson ratio. Overall, the...
Under “Stock Owner/Person-In-Charge’s Responsibilities,” MAFAWG (2003) says it is the responsibility of that person to select fit and healthy animals for travel, provide well-maintained and safe loading facilities, include a rest period and withdraw food 4 to 6 hr before transport, and to...

However, it is conceivable that the greater lean-to-fat ratio observed in higher muscling animals could have prompted perceptions of better value with “larger” servings, creating greater satisfaction for Chinese consumers. Inclusion of IMF in these models did not negate the LLWT effect in any ...
