Genetics of wool colour in the South Australia selection demonstration flocks
No full textA wide range of objectively measured and subjectively assessed characters were recorded in the South Australian Selection Demonstration Flocks between 1997 and 2005. These data provided an opportunity to study the genetics of wool colour and relationships with other traits, as part of a wider study by the Sheep CRC. In 2000, 2001 and 2002 clean wool colour was objectively measured by the Australian Wool Testing Authority on wool samples from 1,116 hogget rams. Clean colour was highly heritable (0.45). For assessed greasy colour the heritability was even higher (0.53), with a favourable negative genetic correlation (-0.38) between the two traits. There was a strong (0.57) positive genetic correlation between mean fibre diameter and clean wool colour and similarly a moderate negative genetic correlation with greasy wool colour. There was also a positive genetic correlation between clean colour and greasy fleece weight (0.34), dust penetration (0.35), and the standard deviation of fibre diameter (0.33). This indicates that selecting animals with heavier fleece weights tends to lead to progeny with wool that is more yellow in clean colour and that selecting animals with lower fibre diameter tends to lead to progeny that have whiter, more lustrous wool. The implications of these findings are discussed.M. L. Hebart and F. D. Brie

Enrichment in the Sucker and Weaner Phase Altered the Performance of Pigs in Three Behavioural Tests
Get PDFWe tested the hypothesis that provision of enrichment in the form of enrichment blocks during the sucker and weaner phases would affect the behaviour of pigs. We measured the performance of pigs in an open field/novel object test, a maze test, an executive function test and the cortisol response of the pigs after exposure to an open field test. The provision of enrichment blocks altered the behaviour of the pigs in all three tests and these changes suggest an increased willingness to explore and possibly an increased ability to learn. The behavioural tests highlighted that young pigs have the capacity to learn complex tasks. Our findings support the notion that the benefits of enrichment cannot be evaluated by measuring the interactions the animal has with the enrichments in the home pen and it may simply be beneficial to live in a more complex environment. We have highlighted that the early rearing environment is important and that the management and husbandry at an early age can have long-term implications for pigs. The enrichment we used in this study was very simple, an enrichment block, and we provide evidence suggesting the provision of enrichment effected pig behavioural responses. Even the simplest of enrichments may have benefits for the welfare and development of young pigs and there is merit in developing enrichment devices that are suitable for use in pig production.Cameron Ralph, Michelle Hebart and Greg M.

Explaining the Gap Between the Ambitious Goals and Practical Reality of Animal Welfare Law Enforcement: A Review of the Enforcement Gap in Australia
Get PDFPrevious research has identified a number of issues arising at all stages of the animal law enforcement process. These issues contribute to an enforcement gap between the written law, as it relates to the penalties laid out in statutes, and the reality of the animal law justice system. This paper identifies and investigates the contributors to this gap. The identified factors discussed are (1) the role of the public in reporting animal cruelty, (2) the ambiguity of the language used in animal welfare legislation, (3) the nature of enforcement authorities, and (4) the role of the courts. Thus, the causes of the enforcement gap are multifactorial, derived from all stages of the enforcement process. Further research on the enforcement model and public education, in addition to debate on legislative reforms, will be needed to address this gap.Rochelle Morton, Michelle L. Hebart and Alexandra L.
