(AOSIS Ltd, 2012)
Inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption by polyunsaturated fatty acids in RAW 264.7 murine macrophages. This study investigated the effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids on osteoclast formation and ...
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 ...
Development of Natural Language Processing Tools for Cook Islands Māori

This paper presents three ongoing projects for NLP in Cook Islands Ma ̄ori: Un- trained Forced Alignment (approx. 9% er- ror when detecting the center of words), automatic speech recognition (37% WER in the best trained ...
Does Viagra protect fetal lambs against maternal pregnancy toxaemia?
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2016)
Poor fetal growth is commonly caused by placental insufficiency. In sheep, multiple fetuses have relatively small placentae with fewer cotyledons than singletons, limiting blood flow to the placenta, especially in late ...
Reproductive performance of singleton and twin female offspring born to ewe-lamb dams and mature adult dams
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2016-07-07)
This study was undertaken to compare the reproductive and live weight performance of female singleton and twin ewes born to either mature or young dams from 18 months to 2.5 years of age. One hundred and fifteen singleton- ...
Genetics of alternative definitions of feed efficiency in grazing lactating dairy cows
(NZSAP, 2016-07-07)
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for measures of energy conversion efficiency (ECE), energy balance (EB), net energy intake (NEI), net energy of lactation (NEL) and body weight (BW), within ...
Tangible-tango: Designing and fabricating tangibles with tangibles
(Australian Computer Society, Inc, 2015-01)
We present Tangible-Tango, a system which enables users to fabricate new tangibles and their equivalent 3D virtual models. Thus the cognitive load required to understand and interact with virtual models is reduced. Users ...

The utilisation of farm-management tools by New Zealand sheep farmers can support on-farm decision making, thus facilitating improvements in productivity and profitability of the farming enterprise. There are numerous ...
Growth of early weaned lambs on a plantain-clover mix compared with lambs suckling their dam on a plantain-clover mix or a grass based sward
(NZSAP, 2016-07-07)
Plantain-clover mixes have high metabolisable energy content and have been shown to support greater liveweight gains in lambs both pre- and post-weaning when compared with grass. The aim of this experiment was to determine ...
