Abstract
Corriedale ewes in New Zealand on a constant ration throughout the year were subjected to various light treatments and their monthly growth of wool compared with controls having normal daylight hours.1. In the controls the peak of wool growth occurred during November–January with long daylight hours and the minimum during June–August with short daylight hours.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
