(7) Neither rate of testosterone infusion had any effect on the raised gonadotrophin levels in wethers.
(8) The experiments performed on two wethers provided with simple rumen cannulas and reentrant cannulas, inserted into the proximal duodenum and ileum, showed a passage of 15N from labelled urea, injected intravenously, from the blood to the digestive tract.
(9) Eight variants of recipes for mixtures of straw and concentrated feed with 10 to 60 per cent straw more or less finely ground (86 to 314 g crude fibre per kg dry matter) and fattening feed for lambs (50 g crude fibre per kg dry matter) were checked concerning the digestibility of crude nutrients for fullgrown wethers and 60 to 80-, 80 to 100-and 100 to 120-day-old lambs which had been ablactated at an age of 60 days.
(10) Twenty-four wethers had ad libitum access to a total forage diet (pearl millet forage), water and trace mineralized salt.
(11) Experiments were conducted with two wether sheep which were fitted with rumen cannulae and chronically implanted intravascular thermocouples.
(12) Wethers received one of two dietary treatments for 30 d before determination of tissue blood flow: 1) a low-endophyte diet (less than .05 ppm ergovaline) or 2) a high-endophyte (1.18 ppm ergovaline) diet.
