Other claims from this paper (9)
- Association Greater grazing pressure or stocking rate decreased lamb daily gains.
- Association Greater grazing pressure or stocking rate increased liveweight gains per hectare.
- Observation Fixed stocking understocked early and overstocked late in the season.
- Method / resource Fixed stocking produced lower experimental error for lamb daily gain.
- Method / resource The methods had similar errors for liveweight gain per hectare.
- Intervention effect After year one, alfalfa made up less of the mixture under light than heavy grazing.
- Observation By year three, alfalfa percentage was nearly identical across treatments.
- Recommendation Either stocking method can yield similar results if pasture yield potential is known.
- Observation Fixed stocking has the disadvantage of requiring advance pasture yield-potential estimates.
