	abstract = {The development of more productive sheep is possible through  selection within breeds and crossbreeding or by importing new genetic  material. The introduction of new breeds involves complex and time  consuming development of import protocols, and health testing of source  flocks and individuals prior to entry into NZ. Repeat health testing of  sheep (and/or recipient ewes receiving embryos) and long scrapie  surveillance protocols are required prior to release. Of the new  breeds, the East Friesian with large body size, high fecundity and milk  production, leanness and moderate wool production will likely prove the  catalyst for a sheep milking industry, and will be a component of a  productive meat and wool dam. Early data confirm that the East Friesian  offers considerable opportunities in these areas.   },
