Numbers of red deer (Cervus elaphus) and their hybrids with wapiti (Cervus elaphus spp.) farmed in New Zealand
This paper outlines findings for three experiments on the AgResearch Invermay deer farm that quantified soil and water quality via fence-line pacing and wallowing, and water quality in streams draining the farm. Five weeks after winter grazing (28 hinds/ha), fence-line pacing decreased soil macroporosity and saturated hydraulic conductivity, and increased suspended sediment (SS; 0.226 g/100ml),...
متن کاملComparison of Fatty Acids with Amino Acids Profiles of Wapiti Deer (Cervus elaphus) Muscle
The fatty acids and amino acids compositions of different parts of wapiti deer (Cervus elaphus) muscle (loin, chops, shoulder and hindquarters) were analyzed in this study. In total, fifteen types of fatty acid were identified and quantified in fresh and freeze-dried samples, with monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) constituting approximately 47.82-59.04%...
متن کاملSeasonal foraging behavioural compensation in reproductive wapiti hinds (Cervus elaphus canadensis).
Captive wapiti hinds were observed during seven periods between June 1996 and November 1997. We investigated their activity and foraging behaviour on two pastures, heavily and lightly grazed, during four phases of the reproductive cycle (early gestation, late gestation, peak lactation, and late lactation). Within season, differences in forage availability between pastures had little apparent ef...
متن کاملCepstral coefficients and hidden Markov models reveal idiosyncratic voice characteristics in red deer (Cervus elaphus) stags.
Bouts of vocalizations given by seven red deer stags were recorded over the rutting period, and homomorphic analysis and hidden Markov models (two techniques typically used for the automatic recognition of human speech utterances) were used to investigate whether the spectral envelope of the calls was individually distinctive. Bouts of common roars (the most common call type) were highly indivi...
متن کاملWinter food restriction and summer compensation in red deer stags (Cervus elaphus).
Twelve red deer stags (Cervus elaphus) penned individually from weaning were fed on a concentrate diet. Six stags received the diet to appetite throughout the study, and the other six were restricted to 70% of the intake of the first group during winter and then fed to appetite during summer. The winter-restricted stags showed remarkable compensatory growth during summer. Compared with the unre...
