Correct grazing key to cocksfoot quality

摘要

THE IMPORTANCE of appropriate grazing management has been highlighted as a major factor in maintaining high-uality cocksfoot pastures in recent Tasmanian studies. These Dairy Australia-funded studies, undertaken by Danny Donaghy, Karen Christie and Lydia Turner of the Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural Research (TIAR) at the University of Tasmania farm and Elliott Research and Demonstration Station, have supported the hypothesis that alternative pasture grasses can be managed for high-quality and thus similar milk production to perennial rye-grass.
