Reproductive Wastage In Sheep In Non-Clover Areas, C. H. Trotman
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

Sheep Fertility In Western Australia, R J. Lightfoot
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Why do one-quarter of the ewes that are joined in W.A. fail to lamb? Sheep and Wool Adviser Dr. R. J. Lightfoot analyses the eight stages in sheep reproduction, explaining the causes and possible prevention of infertility at each stage.

Reproductive Wastage In Sheep On Clover Areas, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Western Australia's 67 per cent lambing for 1970 compares poorly with that of other Australian States, and other countries. From the 12.3 million ewes mated in this State's agricultural areas in 1970, only 8.2 million lambs were marked.
This low 77.7 per cent conception rate sparked the present series of reproductive wastage investigations by the Department's Sheep and Wool Branch.
This report describes the first year's results of the project in W.A.'s "clover disease" areas.
Sheep Meat Production Trial, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Sheep Meat Production Trial, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Better understanding of Middle- East, European and Asian market requirements for Australian sheep has influenced the design of a large meat production trial at Avondale Research Station.
The trial will supply basic information on sheep meat production and involves examples of breed types available in Western Australia and capable of supplying young, lean animals all the year round.
