the haematology and serum biochemistry of wild fallow deer (dama dama) in new south wales.	fallow deer (dama dama) were captured in an enclosure trap in southern new south wales. blood samples were collected for determination of haematological and biochemical values after capture and in one group after 3 h of transportation. results were compared between fawns and does, transported and non-transported fawns, and transported and non-transported does. fawns had higher haemoglobin, total red cell count, packed cell volume and lymphocyte numbers, but lower red cell indices and eosinophil ...	1981	7241715

the reproductive performance of farmed fallow deer (dama dama) in new south wales.	observations on the reproductive performance of fallow deer on 47 farms in new south wales were made over 6 consecutive years. the minimum fawning rate for does varied significantly (p less than 0.001) between years, the corresponding fawning percentages varying from 75.0% to 96.4%, with an overall mean of 88.8%. the weaning rate also varied significantly (p less than 0.001) between years, the corresponding percentages varying from 65.0% to 89.1% with a mean over 6 years of 81.4%. weaning rates ...	1990	2222374
pasteurella multocida septicaemia in fallow deer (dama dama).	thirteen of 100 fallow deer, aged between 6 months and 10 years, died over a 5 week period. the deaths occurred in 2 outbreaks 3 weeks apart. both outbreaks were preceded by at least 3 days of cold wet and windy weather, and were associated with water-logged pastures. affected animals were usually found dead, with a frothy blood-stained nasal discharge. in the 8 deer necropsied, gross lesions included widespread subserosal petechial haemorrhages, severe pulmonary congestion and oedema with froth ...	1991	1888312
causes of perinatal mortality in farmed fallow deer (dama dama).	the causes of perinatal mortality in farmed fallow deer in the camden region of new south wales were determined between 1982 and 1987. the results of 144 necropsies on fawns showed that ante-parturient and parturient deaths occurred in 33 (22.9%) of cases, with post-parturient deaths accounting for 99 (69.8%), and undiagnosed causes the remaining 12 (8.3%). the most common cause of post-parturient death (43.1%) was exposure/starvation of fawns that had birthweights lower than the average for sur ...	1992	1530555
