Extract

1. Herbage from pastures managed under the Intensive System of Grassland Management, and representing three to five weeks’ growth, from three centres in three seasons, was closely comparable with that obtained by other workers from “pasture cuts” at one- to three-weekly intervals from unmanured pastures, in respect of the chemical composition of its dry matter, which is, in fact, a concentrated feeding stuff of narrow nutritive ratio and low in fibre content.

2. The nutritive ratio is somewhat wider in a dry than in a wet season, but the average fibre content is not markedly different.

3. During the grazing season, drought or the early summer flush period produce some reduction in protein content and an increase in fibre content, with a recovery following the cessation of the drought or after the flush period respectively.
