Should twins born to ewe hoggets and grown out to heavy weights be retained as replacements and mated as ewe lambs?
Hogget breeding has the potential to improve farm productivity but they take careful management according to Professor Paul Kenyon of Massey University. Peter Burke reports.
Hogget breeding can increase the number of lambs weaned on a farm each year and increase lifetime performance, but only if done correctly.
How to get better reproductive performance from hoggets is the question AgResearch animal reproduction scientists at Invermay are seeking to answer.
Can we predict how long a commercial ewe will last in a flock? Does hogget mating affect longevity? And do high-performing ewes die sooner?
This nationwide New Zealand Ewe Hogget Competition is now in its 20th year and entries are welcomed.
THE KEY issue with in-lamb hoggets is making sure they continue to grow and ensure that the animal has sufficient feed to allow for the foetus to grow as well, says a leading researcher on the subject.
