Abstract
The Fifth Nordic Reindeer Scientist's Meeting, organised by the Nordic Council for Reindeer Research, was held at Oulu, Finland, 30 October - 2 November 1989 and was attended by 62 delegates. The principal themes of the meeting were ' Reindeer Feeds and Feeding' and ' The Economic and Ecological Carrying Capacity of Reindeer Husbandry'.
Highlights
In the last 50 years there have been some remarkable developments in the control of both internal and external parasites of domestic livestock by chemotherapy
The response of T S H to T R H is most pronounced in spring
Reindeer accepted Reindeer feed 80 (RF-80) when it was mixed with lichens, their mean voluntary intake started at 0.8 Kg/day/animal on the first day, increasing to more than 1.8 Kg/day/ani¬ mal after three weeks (Fig. 1)
Summary
In the last 50 years there have been some remarkable developments in the control of both internal and external parasites of domestic livestock by chemotherapy These drugs offered very high levels of efficiency against a range of parasites, they were usually relatively cheap and were safe to use. Considerable research has been carried out in this country to determine the importance of various factors in the selection of anthelmintic resistance in nematode parasites and on ways of limiting its spread, and on methods to overcome the problem. These principles are similar for any host/parasite system where parasite control is sought primarily by drug treatments, and includes the reindeer industry. This study investigated whether reindeer which had no experience of commercial diets would eat concentrates without transitional feeding and whether ad lib. feeding of commercial diets causes diarrhoea
