RESUMO
This study investigated the use of camelina forage and meal supplementation to a finishing diet on carcass traits, composition and retail value of lamb and hoggets. The metabolisable energy and crude protein concentrations of all 3 diets were 10-11â¯MJ/kg DM and 14-15% CP. Thirty maternal Composite wether lambs (28-38â¯kg) and 30 Merino wether hoggets (37-43â¯kg) were used in a 3â¯×â¯2 factorial experiment. Animals were slaughtered after 10â¯weeks of feeding with carcasses classified as 'Heavy lamb' or 'Heavy hogget' (>22â¯kg carcass weight). Carcass traits, composition, meat mineral concentrations and retail colour were measured. Camelina diets increased liveweight (Pâ¯<â¯0.02) and carcass weight (Pâ¯<â¯0.002) for both sheep types. Carcass weight (Pâ¯<â¯0.005) and dressing % (Pâ¯<â¯0.01) were lower for Merino hoggets than Composite lambs. Mineral concentration and retail colour stability of fresh meat were unaffected by diet, with 72â¯h retail colour considered acceptable for consumers.

Our experience with laparoscopy as the primary means of assessment of the female genital tract is described in 279 women attending a subfertility clinic. Thirty-two per cent of patients with primary infertility and 60 per cent of patients with secondary infertility had significant pelvic disease. We feel that laparoscopy should replace other methods for the routine primary assessment of the genital tract in infertile women.
