The relationship between plasma testosterone concentrations and the seasonal variation in voluntary feed intake in fallow bucks (Dama dama)

In two experiments conducted at Badgery's Creek, NSW (Latitude 34 degrees S) the roles of testosterone and the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T-3) and thyroxine (T-4) as possible initiators of the change in voluntary feed intake (VFI) associated with the seasonal reproductive behaviour (rut...

Description
Summary:In two experiments conducted at Badgery's Creek, NSW (Latitude 34 degrees S) the roles of testosterone and the thyroid hormones triiodothyronine (T-3) and thyroxine (T-4) as possible initiators of the change in voluntary feed intake (VFI) associated with the seasonal reproductive behaviour (rut) in male fallow deer were investigated.
