Nieminen (1989) found that offspring of ivermectin-treated females at Kaamanen Reindeer Research Station, Finland, had a significant 0.5 kg increase (p S 0.05) in average live birth weight and a non-significant 2.1 kg increase (p > 0.05) i n average autumn live weight . 1 our preliminary findings indicate that ivermectin treatment of females induces no significant or consistent increase i n mid to latesummer fawn live weight in coastal Northern Norway
Treatment with prostaglandin resulted in a significant decrease i n progesterone concentrations in both treatment groups
Summary
The purpose of this study was to investigate h o w much roughage reindeer can digest and whether it is possible to maintain reindeer on pure roughage diet during winter. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of prostaglandins given to young reindeer calves at the end of the breeding season
