(Massey University, 1979)
The lower Oroua River, Manawatu, was studied during the 1977-1978 summer and 1978 autumn to determine what effect two waste discharges had on the quality of the river. The two discharges were both organic in nature, one ...
Genetic and environmental factors affecting performance traits of straightbred Angus and Friesian-sired calves : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Animal Science at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
Genetic and environmental parameters for calf growth traits were determined from data collected over a 5-year period at the Whatawhata Hill Country Research Station, Hamilton, using least squares mixed model procedures. ...
Biology and ecology of the ship rat, Rattus rattus rattus (L.) in Manawatu (N.Z.) forests : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University
(Massey University, 1977)
Ship rats in Manawatu lowland forest were studied by snap and cage trapping for one year, and by tracking. The results are very similar to those of previous New Zealand studies. Rat density was low. Only 3.9 rats per 100 ...
