Superphosphate Deficiency Raises Pasture Oestrogens, H G. Neil, T. Marshall
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.

Egg Shell Quality, R J. Bishop
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Recent overseas work and local industry developments indicate that the calcium content of feed for laying hens in Western Australia should be increased to achieve satisfactory egg shell strength.
Age, temperature and breeding are other important influences on egg shell quality.
