Abstract


It is well known that sulphur has a beneficial effect on the growth of wool. Considerable work has been done in Australia and elsewhere on the increased production of wool by the inclusion of sulphur in the ration. Bellary sheep on the Hosur Livestock Research Station, has a good conformation and is producing an average wool yield of 2'75 lb. The animals grow very slowly but they are capable of lambing twice a ear. The wool is clipped twice a year, but the quantity and quality annot be compared with those of the Merinos. The object of the xperiment was to see if administration of sulphur to the Bellary heep would have any effect on the growth of wool.
