New Initiatives In Processing Australian Sheep Skins, P G. Frapple
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Australia's exports of 313 million preserved sheep and lamb skins were valued at $A261.2 million FOB (free on board) in 1986-87. Just over 40 per cent (13.1 million) of these skins went to France for fellmongering, which is the process of removing wool from skins, leaving a bare pelt suitable for tanning. The balance went to other countries including Yugoslavia, Spain and West Germany, mainly for tanning with the wool on.

Trial 84V2.
Location: Vasse Research Station.
The background, aims and measurements have been detailed in previous annual reports (SEE 1987 Experimental Summary).
As in the previous 4 years of this trial the 1988 pasture measurements have confirmed the hypothesis that "increasing stocking rates" result in a reduction in pasture growth rates, and in turn a reduction in total annual pasture production.

1. Selection and development of early maturing varieties of murex medic.
Small plot trials were established at six medium and low rainfall sites in autumn 1988. All were hand sown 2Mx3Mplots sown at 50 kg/ha except for the Merredin site which was drill sown at 10 kg/ha.
Locations: Badgebup, Gabalong, Kellerberrin, Merredin, North Quairading, Pingrup.

The Western Australian Sheep Skin Industry, P G. Frapple
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Sheep skins are a by-product of livestock production and slaughter. Their supply is determined largely by the demand for meat, rather than the demand for leather and leather products. As a result, skin prices fluctuate widely, as happened from April to June, 1988.

Control Of Caprine Arthritis-Encephalitis In Goats, T M. Ellis
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Caprine arthritis-encephalitis, CAE for short, is the name given to a disease complex in goats, one form of which, 'big knee', has been recognized in dairy goats in Australia since the late 1950s. There are many forms of this progressive disease, all of which result in premature culling in milking goats
