How To Identify Twin-Born Lambs, G T. Halpin, P. Nelson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN the past few years it has become widely accepted that the ability to produce twin or multiple lambs is a heritable characteristic.
This means that breeding from sheep born as twins should give more multiple births and higher lambing percentages than breeding from sheep born as single lambs.

A Herbicide For Native Poison Plants, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE usual method of killing poison plants is by a programme of ploughing, cropping and burning.
The burning not only destroys a proportion of the plants, but stimulates the germination of dormant seeds, which otherwise would remain in the soil in a viable condition for many years.

Root knot eelworm has a wide host range.

• Those affecting the respiratory system, including lungworms.
• Those resulting from nutritional deficiencies, especially vitamins and minerals.
