Lupinosis : A Disease Still With Us, Jeremy G. Allen, P. Mcr. Wood, K. P. Crocker, J. Hamblin
Lupinosis : A Disease Still With Us, Jeremy G. Allen, P. Mcr. Wood, K. P. Crocker, J. Hamblin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Current research on lupinosis continues to reveal what a complex problem it is, but the improved understanding should help to reduce losses.

More Lambs By Mating Weaners, R J. Suiter
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Farmers can increase sheep numbers by mating ewe weaners. Trials have shoen that this does not affect the later performance of these ewes.
Flystrike In Sheep : Secondary And Tertiary Flies Striking Sheep In Western Australia, N Monzu
Flystrike In Sheep : Secondary And Tertiary Flies Striking Sheep In Western Australia, N Monzu
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Unlike primary species of blowflies, the secondary and tertiary species of flies cannot initiate a strike, but their activity in the presence of the primary blowflies becomes significant in the death of struck sheep. This is particularily so when the hairy maggot blowfly is involved. Future management of sheep flocks to minimise deaths may require recognition of these secondary and tirtiary flies.
This article presents some basic facts about these flies.
Diagnosing Pregnancy In Sheep : The 'Scanopreg', R H. Wroth, M. J. Mccallum
Diagnosing Pregnancy In Sheep : The 'Scanopreg', R H. Wroth, M. J. Mccallum
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The "Scanopreg", an ultrasonic machine for diagnosing pregnancy in sheep, is effective as early as eight to nine weeks of pregnancy, and could therefore be a useful management tool.
The Place For Annual Brome Grass, G W. Anderson
The Place For Annual Brome Grass, G W. Anderson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Grasses in the anual pastures of southern Australia are particularly important early in the growing season.
The main grass sown, has been annual rygrass, but concerns are emerging with 'annual ryegrass toxicity' and and 'in crop' competition.
This work looks at the role of annual brome grass in pastures.
