Abstract

Hill country farmers face major challenges to provide the physical environment and climatic conditions for maximum survival of multiple-born lambs. Farmers and scientists together investigated the opportunities for improved lamb survival on seven high-producing (scanning percentage 150-220%) North Island hill country farms. Keywords: lamb survival, physical environment, land assessment tool
