A field investigation to estimate the mean weight and chest girth of unserved Friesian, Ayrshire and Dairy Shorthorn heifers of between 3 and 24 months of age was carried out.2. Data from 1,620 Friesians, 725 Ayrshires and 455 Dairy Shorthorns in the North of England were obtained, with a mobile weighbridge and a. spring-loaded steel tape in the winter 1958–59.3. It was found that on average the Friesians were heavier and had a greater chest girth than the Ayrshires and Dairy Shorthorns, which did not differ significantly.4. These heifers were apparently reared on planes of nutrition which, judged by conventional feeding standards, may be described as ‘low’.5. After eliminating the linear effect of age by covariance analysis, highly significant differences between herds and between sires in weight and chest girth were found.6. The investigation demonstrated the feasibility and value of collecting field data on body size.

The process of bringing countries and peoples together is likely to continue forming a larger EU and Greater Europe. The formation of Europe over many millennia has created diverse ethnic groups, cultures and languages. The genetic and cultural origens are briefly described. European values developed under Judea-Christian influences. The EU is not intended to homogenize this human biodiversity but to provide unity without uniformity. The paper focuses upon agriculture as a historic formative influence and argues that its future role must embrace rural and environmental quality of life issues as well as food. The model of intensification and scale in agriculture developed in the 20 th century in Western Europe under government policies has brought an abundance of cheap food and also massive demographic movements of people from rural to urban locations. The paper argues that this model should not be adopted for the enlarged EU and Greater Europe because of the inevitable consequence of further migrations of up to 73 million people from the land, creating enormous new socioeconomic problems. The paper calls for animal and agricultural scientists to develop, with other disciplines, a new model for European agriculture which will not divide rural from urban society and will enable the former to share prosperity and quality of life with the latter. New values of community and recognition of social capital are needed if this endeavour is to succeed.

The study of relation between the animal genotype by the SOMATOTROPIN gene using the AluI-and MspI-markers and the milking productivity has revealed that the best productive animals are those possessing the complex genotype LL (-/-) (p 0.05). The alleles (+)-noticeably reduce the milk yield with the stable milking registered in the animal group with the genotype LV (+/+).
