A study of the interactions between Holstein-Friesian genotypes and feeding systems, with emphasis on system performance and cow grazing ability : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science, Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences, Massey University, New Zealand
(Massey University, 2006)
Imported genetic material of the Holstein-Friesian breed from overseas (OS), mainly from North America, has been used in New Zealand (NZ) since the late 1960's. This has diluted the genetic base of the former NZ Friesian ...
Integration of goats into sheep and cattle grazing systems as a permanent weed control tool : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Plant Science, Institute of Natural Resources, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand
(Massey University, 2001)
This project evaluated the integration of goats into sheep and cattle grazing systems as a permanent herbaceous weed control tool. Foraging behaviour of goats grazing pasture with no access to browse was monitored in ...
The response by grazing dairy cows to supplementary feeds : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science, Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences, Massey University, Palmerston North
(Massey University, 2002)
Many experiments have measured the responses of grazing dairy cows to various forms of supplementary feed, but few have studied the reasons for the large differences in responses between experiments. Two short-term, and ...
Nutritional studies on Lotus corniculatus containing condensed tannins to increase reproductive rate and lamb growth under commercial dryland farming conditions : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand
(Massey University, 2004)
Five rotational grazing experiments were carried out at Massey University's Riverside farm, in the Wairarapa, on the East Coast of the Southern North Island, New Zealand, to compare the effects of feeding Lotus corniculatus ...
