Autumn Lambing Means Autumn Feeding, C J. Spencer
Autumn Lambing Means Autumn Feeding, C J. Spencer
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
MANY Merino flocks in the agricultural areas Iamb down in the autumn months.
This means that the lambs are being developed and reared when paddock feed is at its worst, and this in turn means that a well-planned supplementary feeding programme is essential.

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING 1959, trials were conducted at the Poultry Research Station, Herdsman Lake, with the object of developing a broiler-feeding ration that was better than the one at present recommended by the Department of Agriculture and commonly used by local broiler producers.

Cutting Costs In Calf Rearing, N A. Scott
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
RAISING calves as herd replacements and as a sideline to provide added income is becoming increasingly popular.
This is particularly noticeable since the inception of the Artificial Breeding Scheme whereby farmers are at liberty to breed herd replacements from their most productive cows and use semen from beef breeds for the poorer types.
Can Heifers Be Fed Too Well?, Laurence C. Snook
Can Heifers Be Fed Too Well?, Laurence C. Snook
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
DURING recent years, emphasis has been given to the results of experiments conducted overseas, which appear to show that when heifers are generously fed, this reduces their ability to produce milk in later life.
As a result, some dairymen now believe that heifer calves should be kept lean rather than in prime condition.
It has become common to hear statements to the effect that generous feeding encourages calves to become "beefy," at the expense of the milk-producing attributes which are essential in a dairy cow.
Studies In The Mulga Pastoral Zone. 2. Some Aspects Of The Value Of The Mulga Scrub, D G. Wilcox
Studies In The Mulga Pastoral Zone. 2. Some Aspects Of The Value Of The Mulga Scrub, D G. Wilcox
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE mulga pastoral zone is so named since most of its area is dominated by Mulga (Acacia aneura).
The mulga is found associated with shrubs and grasses in almost all plant habitats. In its various forms it can associate with spinifex (Triodia basedowi), Wandarrie Grasses (Danthonia, Eragostis and Eriachne spp.) and with low shrubs on flood plains, hills and breakaways. It may even attempt to become established in salty communities, though this is never completely successful.
The scene the area offers from its low hills is one of a succession of low undulations, occasionally scarred by creeks or breakaways and …

How Much Food Should I Give My Dog?, F C. Wilkinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS is a question which every veterinary surgeon has heard hundreds of times, and one that it is impossible to answer in general terms because dogs differ so much in their food requirements and because the nutrient values of various foodstuffs vary considerably.
