N2  - Merino sheep, offered feed at two levels of intake, were given an oral dose of N-[5-(4-am1nophenoxy)- pentyllphthahmide at rates varying over 100-800 mg/kg body weight. Consistent defleecing was obtained at dose rates of 400 nig/kg and above. Feed intake did not Influence defleecing activity. lntravenous infusion of smaller amounts also allowed defleecing. Wool growth rate following dosing was not affected by a dose of 100 mg/kg, but doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg caused depressions of c. 15 and c. 70% respectively in the rate of wool growth in the 2 weeks after dosing. Blindness was observed In one sheep dosed at 400 mg/kg and In all sheep dosed at higher rates
