Mathematical modelling of anoestrus in dairy cows and the linkage to nutrition
(2005-01-01)
Postpartum anoestrus is a major reproductive problem in New Zealand dairy cows and its duration is related to the nutrition levels both pre and post calving. However, the mechanistic details of this relationship are largely ...
The influence of age and breed of cow on colostrum indicators of suckled beef calves
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2016-07-07)
Rearing a calf to weaning is a key measure of performance in a beef breeding cow herd. Adequate intake of colostral antibodies by the calf in the first few hours of life is important for passive transfer of immunity, and ...

Coherent and incoherent photon-assisted electron tunneling in optoelectronic molecular devices in soft solids
(2002-01-15)
An electron in a bath with slow degrees of freedom (such as soft solids, e.g., proteins) is driven by a strong time-dependent electric field. In this molecular device, the electron dynamics are characterized by quasicoherent ...
