Historical veterinary note describes a skin ailment in sheep cattle and horses arising from diet and sun exposure. It attributes the condition to a photosensitive dermatitis not caused by aphids and details prevention including shade dusting with earth or lampblack and protective smearing on exposed areas.
The piece explains how legumes used as manure enrich soil in two ways: adding readily available plant nutrients and improving soil texture, structure, and moisture retention. Buried manure crops supply matter from air and subsoil, stir and disintegrate the surface layer, and release carbonic acid during decomposition to aid soil breakdown and nutrient availability.
Sheep care guidance explains crutching, six weeks before lambing, to remove wool from hindquarters and udder to reduce fly attraction. Ewes, ewes in lamb, and weaners are crutched together, with special care for udders and teats. Wethers are crutched only when scouring occurs, removing wool below the tail. Heavily woolly sheep receive tail area crutching to prevent wool disease and ease handling at shearings.
Agricultural delegates at the Upper North Coast Area Conference note maize silage as the preferred fodder, with experts citing higher feed value and better moisture retention. Sorghum is praised for drought resistance and suitability on poorer soils, though maize yields generally surpass it on good soils.
