The Composition of Pasture Ruskin in Modern Painters eulogizes grass in the following words: “. . . judge whether of all the gorgeous flowers that beam in the summer air, and of all strong and goodly trees pleasant to the eye or good for food-stately palm and pine, strong ash and oak, scented citron, burdened vine-there beany so deeply loved, by God so highly graced, as that narrow point of fee...

Debates on the relative merits of resistance (the ability of the host to control the parasite lifecycle) and tolerance (the net impact of infection on host performance) are often lively and unhindered by data or evidence. Resistance generally shows continuous, heritable variation but data are sparser for tolerance, the utility of which will depend upon the disease prevalence. Prevalence is a fu...

Genotypes that lose less weight during summer and autumn when feed quantity and quality is limiting could potentially be grazed at higher stocking rates and therefore increase farm profitability. To determine the potential value of breeding for reduced liveweight loss during summer and autumn whole farm systems modelling was used to predict potential changes to farm profitability for different ...

PASTURE PRODUCTION is logically measured in terms of grazing animals supported by that pasture. A simple calculation based on stock numbers and area in grassland in New Zealand shows that over the last forty years carrying capacity has increased from 1.4 to 3.2 “sheep units” per acre, or 130% (N.Z. Official Year Book). Obviously many factors have contributed to this increase, including improved...

The biological value of fodder is estimated on the basis of its content of particular macroelements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg). Concentration of these components in fodder depends on many factors, mainly on the properties of soil, type of land use and growth phase of crops. The aim of this paper was to estimate the effect of soil properties, land use and species composition of a sward mixture on the con...

Grazing lands in warm-temperate and subtropical North America have become less diverse. Pastures are typically grass monocultures, while rangelands are generally managed for the grass components. Overstocking, selective herbicides, fire exclusion and heavy rates of nitrogen fertilizer have contributed to near exclusion of native, warm-season legumes. The simplicity of managing grass monoculture...

Pasture quality is an important component in grazing and livestock management and a key driver of animal performance. Accurate, real-time information on pasture quality can help farm managers in decision making. This study investigated the potential applicability of optical sensors to estimate pasture quality parameters in the field, these have been trialled as part of the P21 Feed Programme, c...

‘Tree-pasture’ silvopastoral systems have the potential to become transformative multifunctional landscapes that add both environmental and economic value pastoral farms. Nevertheless, no published study has found increased pasture production under mature trees in New Zealand hill country. This takes a novel approach research Zealand, investigates genus similar bio-physical attributes other glo...
