INSEMINATION IDEA '
FIRST N.S.W. RESULT
SYDNEY, Dec. 28
The first "test-tube" calf was born last month at Glenfield Veterinary Research School, the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Graham) said this week. "Obviously, there must be legislation to regulate this innovation, said Mr. Graham when announcing that a bill to control artificial insemination of livestock in New South Wales would be brought down early . "Artificial insemination will play a big part in developing our dairying industry, and it is desired to have legislation which will protect men on the land from fraud," he said. The "test-tube" calf born at Glenfield last month was from a bull on the station. The mother was owned by a local farmer. Six cows in New Zealand may soon have calves to a New South Wales bull as a result of the first transtasman experimental artificial .insemination carried out three months ago. . . V A Sydney University scientist made the journey to New Zealand by plane to supervise the experiment. _ Four of six cows in a Camden (near Sydney) paddock are in calf to a New Zealand bull.
