Abstrakt: The article discusses a study on whether chronic exposure of ewe lambs to the electric and magnetic fields of a high-voltage ac transmission line affected cortisol secretion and growth. It states that collection of samples was completed without stressing the lambs because the catheters were inserted 24 h before sampling began. It explains how all lambs were weighed weekly and side wool fiber length was measured bi-weekly, with the wool growth measurements having been taken using a metal ruler.
