Please select one or more answers from the list for each question. Many have multiple answers - these will only be marked as correct when all the right answers and none of the wrong answers, have been selected

Typical ultrasound scanning rates in February and weaning rates in August for lowground mule flocks to lamb are:

	205% and 175%, respectively
	205% and 155%, respectively
	185% and 155%, respectively
	185% and 135%, respectively

The large disparity between ultrasound scanning rates in February and weaning rates in August is the result of:

	A high barren rate
	Abortions
	Ewe mortality
	Lamb deaths within the first three days of life
	Lamb deaths from one week old

Dietary energy supply to ewes’ relative to the metabolic demands of the developing foetuses can be accurately determined during late gestation

	By measuring a chemical (3-OH butyrate) in the ewes’ blood
	Estimating dry matter intake
	Estimating energy contribution from concentrates
	Condition scoring every month
	Measuring ewe liveweight every month

In the typical lowground flock, average lamb losses at lambing time are estimated to which of the following

	2-4%
	5-7%
	8-10%
	10-15%
	17-20%

Colostrum ingestion is essential for which of the following
