Reproductive Wastage In Sheep In Non-Clover Areas, C. H. Trotman
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A Research Round-up report in the June, 1972, issue of the Journal of Agriculture discussed the reproductive performance of sheep in Western Australia and indicated that more than 20 per cent, of mated ewes fail to lamb.
The report presented the first year's results from sheep grazing clover areas.
This report presents results from the nonclover sections of the investigations

Superphosphate Deficiency Raises Pasture Oestrogens, H G. Neil, T. Marshall
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
A recent field experiment on established pastures at Esperance Downs Research Station has demonstrated a relationship between superphosphate application, pasture oestrogens and oestrogenic response in sheep.
Results of the experiment indicate that on phosphate deficient soils carrying oestrogenic clovers, the levels of oestrogenic materials in the pasture are increased if superphosphate applications are below those recommended for healthy pasture growth.
