N2  - The oestrogenic activity of several strains of subterranean clover was measured by the response in uterine weight in ovariectomized ewes. Large differences in oestrogenic activity between strains were found and a tentative ranking of strains is given. There were between-site and between-year differences in activity within any one variety. Oestrogenic activity was maintained when the green clover was dried rapidly in a forced-draught dehydrator. When the same clover was made into hay, there was sometimes a diminution in oestrogenic activity. There was no oestrogenic activity in clover that had set seed and matured in the field. Cobalt either in the rumen or applied as a fertilizer to the pasture did not affect oestrogenic activity.
