The grazing capacity of Sweetveld: 1 A technique to record grazing capacity

摘要: Abstract A technique is proposed for measuring the grazing capacity of sweet grassveld. The suggested procedure to record parameter on plots simulating individual camps in rotational systems. This allows considerably smaller experimental areas be used than conventional stocking rate trials. Grazing assumed number days per hectare that can obtained a sward, provided animals perform at their maximum capabilities sward. determined from point where herbage disappearance deviates linearity during periods occupation. was tested, and found work well, under two simulated management systems False Thornveld Eastern Cape.
