Summary

The overall aim was to consistently achieve optimum potential lambing percentage. In this case, to eliminate any constraints to the best achievable conception rates in ewe flocks. Further knowledge of trace elements effects, specifically those in Maximin and particularly chromium, was​ the urgent aim of the project.
