Trials with different feeds to reindeer
Rangifer, 1981 When changing over from natural pasture to artificial feeding it is often neccessary to supplement with the natural fodder lichen in order to avoid digestibility disturbances. The high contant of water makes it difficult to store and transport lichen. We

Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1982 The growth of the reindeer from birth to adulthood is cumulative consisting of a rapid weight accretion during summers followed by a weight loss or stasis during winters. The birth weight of the newborn calves is about 5.3 kg. The peri- and neonatal growth rate is rather high, with a greatest individual daily weight gain as high as 400 g.

Microbiological Contamination of Reindeer Carcasses in Different Reindeer Slaughterhouses [PDF]
Journal of Food Protection, 1999 The microbiological contamination of reindeer carcasses was studied in 10 Finnish reindeer slaughterhouses. Six of the slaughterhouses were field slaughterhouses and four were plant slaughterhouses. In each slaughterhouse 11 to 30 carcasses were sampled, with abdomen, brisket, and foreleg as sampling sites.

Rangifer, 1986 Thermoregulation was studied in Finnish reindeer (Rangifer tarandus L) on captive and herded individuals during 1977-85. Newborn calves maintained a high rectal temperature (Tre) (+39 to +41°C) even at —23°C by increasing heat production 5- to 6-fold through non-shivering thermogenesis, stimulated by cold-induced noradrenaline
