Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Inclusion of grazed winter wheat crops reduced average supplementary feeding costs in the lamb system by 12% across all years and sites (modelled).
- Intervention effect Inclusion of grazed spring wheat crops reduced average supplementary feeding costs in the lamb system by 2% across all years and sites (modelled).
- Observation Winter wheat crops were grazed frequently at the lowest rainfall site, in 68% of years (modelled).
- Observation Spring wheat crops were grazed frequently at the lowest rainfall site, in 30% of years (modelled).
- Observation Grazing spring wheat was less frequent at the higher rainfall location, averaging 16% of years (modelled).
- Observation Winter and spring wheat crops are likely to supply green feed during the winter feed shortage (April to July).
- Observation Winter and spring wheat crops are likely to reduce supplementary feed requirements for a short period in some seasons.
- Association The value of grazing crops is likely to be higher on farms with poorer soils and less productive pastures.
