	abstract = {Future increases in production efficiency of milk production from pasture will be brought about primarily by increasing the genetic potential of cows to produce milk solids, and by developing grazing systems which combine a high level of herbage utilisation/ha with high dry matter intakes. Grazing often under-utilises herbage in spring, which leads to a reduction in quantity and quality of herbage in summer and autumn with a consequent accelerated decline in cow performance. Higher grazing stocking rates in spring combined with the conservation of a greater pasture area for silage produces an improved pasture and provides additional forage for supplementation in summer and autumn. At present the amount and seasonability of milk production in New Zealand is dictated by pasture production. This gives large variations in production between and within years, and may not represent the most efficient way of using milk processing plant or of satisfying the market{\textquoteright}s needs. Consideration may have to be given to less rigid systems of production involving more flexibility in calving date and a greater use of conserved feed.},

	abstract = {There is increasing evidence that a non-steroidal compound, inhibin, produced by the ovary is involved in the regulation of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) production by the pituitary. Our studies have shown that ovarian inhibin is present in follicular fluid, that it is synthesised exclusively by follicular granulosa cells, that androgens regulate its synthesis and that it is predominantly a product of healthy follicles, i.e. follicles with the potential to attain ovulatory granulosa cell inhibin production which then suppresses pituitary FSH secretion thereby limiting the number of follicles that can be stimulated to develop to ovulatory maturity. Ovulation rates of Romney ewes actively immunised with a semi-purified preparation of inhibin derived from bovine follicular fluid were significantly higher than those of control ewes (2.06 },
