    Studies in animal production
    Tribe, D. E. (Derek Edward), 1926- (University of Melbourne, 1964)
    The papers presented in this thesis have been classified under four headings. Many of those in the Animal Behaviour group report work which was carried out while the applicant was a Scientific Officer at the Rowett Research Institute. All of these were planned and largely carried out by the applicant although in some cases authorship was shared with J.G. Gordan who was the applicant's experimental officer. The remaining rapers report work which was carried out while the applicant was on the academic staffs of either the University of Bristol or the University of Melbourne. Many of the pieces of work reported formed part of a post-graduate training programme and authorship is thus shared with post-graduate students. However in all cases the design of each experiment was the responsibility of the applicant and the work formed a continuing programme of study devised by the applicant. In all cases the applicant made a substantial contribution to the execution of the work and bore a major responsibility for the preparation of results for publication. The following list of papers includes those pieces of work which were carried out by post-graduate students under the supervision of the applicant but in which the applicant did not share the authorship.

    A study of grazing sheep and cattle separately and together on annual pasture
    Hamilton, David ( 1977)
    The work reported in this thesis was conducted at Rutherglen Research Station, Victoria, between December, 1963 and December, 1974. Mr. J. G. Bath, Manager of Rutherglen Research Station until 1967, initiated plans for the study, and along with Mr. R. Jardine,Biometrician, Victorian Department of Agriculture, decided on the general design of the first experiment. I developed the project from that point. Mr. Jardine also commented on later design proposals and conducted any statistical analyses required. Las actively engaged in most of the field work, and through my assistant, Mr. J. J. L. Maden, directed the remainder. Dr. J. H. Arundel, University of Melbourne, advised on the procedures for measuring worm burdens in lambs, and his assistant, Miss Rosemary Black, conducted the worm measurements on samples I helped to prepare. Dr. R. H. Watson, at the time Chief, Division of Animal Industry, Department of Agriculture, assisted with the writing of the first paper, and Dr. J. H. Arundel completed the fourth paper after I had prepared the first draft. Mr. J. J. L. Maden, a co-author in two papers, assisted with the field work and, following my instructions, prepared the results for statistical analysis. Mr. I. D. Ada, a co-author in two papers, conducted some of the measurements reported. The units of measurement used in individual chapters were the official ones at the time that particular material was being prepared for publication, namely imperial units. in the first chapter and metric units in the following ones.
