	abstract = {The  burgeoning  knowledge  associated with  the gene maps of  humans  and mice  can provide  key  information  for  the  identification  of genes  underlying  production  traits  in  livestock.  In  tbeo~~,  it  should  be  possible  to  tramlate  information  associated  with  a  human chromosomal  location  to  a chromosome  location  in  sheep, cat\&  or  deer.  However,  in  practice,  livestock  gene maps often  require  more comparative  links  to  make  accurate  \&anslation  possible.  We  have  taken  a novel  approach to  livestock  comparative  mapping  by  using an interspecies  hybrid  mapping  panel  to  map  both  gene  loci  and  sheep and  cattle  microsatellites.  The  panel  comprises  DNA  from  346  l/4 Pere  David{\textquoteright}s  deer  (Ekxphurus  dnvidinnuj  3/4  red  deer  (Cervus  elaphur)  backcross  progeny  of  male  FI  P\&e David{\textquoteright}s  deer x red deer hybrids.  We  are  using  this  deer  mapping  resource  to  relate  the sheep,  cattle and human gene maps and by  mapping  key  markers from  each.},

	abstract = {Ligand blotting analysis of serum from the horse using radiolabelled IGF-I revealed a protein at 96 kDa which was not present in serum from goat, cow, sheep, deer or donkey. These latter species all displayed five labelled bands in the range 24 to 41 kDa. Conversely these were only weakly labelled in serum from the horse. Size exclusion chromatography of horse serum pre- incubated with radiolabelled IGF-I revealed reduced binding in the 130 kDa peak compared with goat plasma and ligand blotting analysis indicated that 96 kDa protein was present in this peak. The 96 kDa protein from horse serum binds IGF-I and IGF- II specifically and appears to be unique to this species.  The nature of this protein is at present unknown.},

	abstract = {Production data were collected over 3 years from a flock of 600 mixed-age ewes (approximately equal numbers of Romney, Coopworth and Perendale) shorn either once-yearly in October or twice-yearly in February and October. They were grazed as a single mob throughout the year, except over mating when they were divided into breed groups and joined with rams of their own breed. Twice-yearly shearing depressed total annual greasy wool production but did not affect total annual clean wool production. Twice-shorn ewes weaned 7\% more lambs because of a reduction in barrenness. Shearing treatment did not affect live weight either pre-shearing in February or post-shearing in October, nor did it affect ewe and lamb survival. Incidence of casting was less than 1\%. Overall economic returns for the 2 groups of ewes were similar with the greater net wool returns of the once-shorn ewes offsetting the greater net returns from the extra lambs weaned by the twice-shorn ewes. Extrapolation of the observed production trends suggested the net returns from once-yearly shearing pre-joining would be greater than the returns from either once-yearly shearing in spring or twice-yearly shearing pre-joining and again in spring.},
