Extract

Eight flushing experiments were conducted with grazing sheep over a 4-year period, the responses being measured at lambing. In the first 2 years mobs of 600-750 ewes were employed. Those experiments were designed to separate, identify and measure the two components postulated as comprising the flushing response—a static live-weight effect not specifically related in time to the mating period, and a dynamic effect of the rising or falling body condition which is specific to the mating period.
