Asher, G. W. (2000) Improving the reproductive performance of red deer hinds.
NZ Institute of Primary Industry Management Conf.
This paper discusses a range of factors which may be responsible for relatively static reproductive performance in the deer industry and identifies issues which, if addresses may assist with improve reproductive performance.
Issues covered include: farmer inexperience due to the constant influx of new farmers into the industry, increasing intensification, hybridisation, weakness in systems of information transfer, perinatal calf mortality, mismothering, dystocia, misadventure and infection
