Abstract
The Fourth Annual Workshop of Nordic reindeer researchers was organized by Nordic Council for Reindeer Research (NOR) at Kongsvold, Norway, September 28.-30. 1987 with 39 participants.
Highlights
The heamatology and blood chemistry of domestic animals with respect to age, breed, nutrition and season have been thoroughly investigated
In a feeding experiment with 6 reindeer calves the effects of these supplements on water consumption and water excretion were measured
The reindeer started with high levels of radiocesium in their bodies
Summary
The heamatology and blood chemistry of domestic animals with respect to age, breed, nutrition and season have been thoroughly investigated. In Finland, semi-domesticated reindeer still graze almost like their wild ancestors, roaming freely in forests or subarctic mountain areas north of latitude 65°N. They show many adaptations to these conditions The information about the amount and condition of reindeer pastures on the co-operative level is an essential prerequisite of sustained profitable reindeer herding in the long run. It helps in planning other multiple-use in order to avoid conflicts between different kinds of source of livelihood. The project is mainly financed by the country goverment of Lapland and it will be continued for three years
