	abstract = {The commencement and course of cell proliferation is described  in proanagen hair follicles of ferrets. Initiation of autumn fur growth  was synchronised in 32 animals using melatonin implants. Skin samples  containing S-phase cells labelled in vivo with bromodeoxyuridine were  collected from groups of four animals up until the time of development  of metanagen follicles at 14 days post-implant. Cells were visualised  by an indirect immunocytochemical method and counts made of  proliferating cells in the hair germ, epithelial strand/outer root  sheath, connective tissue sheath and dermal papilla. Telogen follicles  showed no labelling in all four tissues until 4 days after melatonin  implant. The largest number of proliferating cells were in the hair  germ, which formed the new fibre and inner root sheath. The cell  labelling index for this tissue remained high at 14 days post-implant.  In other tissues, cell proliferation reached peaks during mid to late  proanagen, then declined as the metanagen state was reached. These  results indicate that some key signalling events controlling ferret hair  growth occur between 0 and 4 days after the melatonin implant, and  illustrate the separate processes of follicular regeneration and fibre  growth occurring in proanagen follicles.  },

	abstract = {A replicated trial with 4 stock rates of {\textquoteright}wet{\textquoteright} ewes (9.0, 10.5,  12.0, 13.5 sheep/ha) and 4 stocking rates of {\textquoteright}dry{\textquoteright} ewes (11.0, 13.5,  16.0, 18.5 sheep/ha) was established at the DSIR Grasslands {\textquoteright}Ballantrae{\textquoteright}  Hill Country Research Station to enable hill country farmers to make  informed decisions as to the economics of farming breeding or unmated  ewes.   Stocking rate had a large effect on liveweight throughout the year with  the greatest effect being in winter. Mean weaning weight of lambs was  25.4 kg at 9.0 ewes/ha and 19.7 kg at 13.5 ewes/ha.   Dry ewes grew more greasy wool/ha than wet ewes (P<0.05). Greasy wool  production ranged from 41.6 kg/ha at 9 wet ewes/ha to 81 kg/ha at 18.5  dry ewes/ha. At 13.5 sheep/ha dry ewes grew 28\% more greasy wool than  wet ewes which reared 1.2 lambs to weaning. November/December fleece  weight/ha was unresponsive to increasing stocking rate for both wet and  dry ewes (P<0.01). November/December fleeces were 18.6\% heavier from  ewes in paddocks having a sunny aspect than in paddocks with a  predominantly shady aspect (P<0.001). Slowest wool growth occurred  during August, being 5.3 to 8.3 mm/month and maximum wool growth  occurred during January within the range 17.3 to 18.5 mm/month.  },

In contrast, the luteinizing hormone peak frequency and plasma prolactin concentrations were higher (P<0.01) in October than in May and June. Seasonal differences in ovarian activity are probably a direct consequence of seasonal differences in pituitary gonadotrophin secretion.},
