Extract

A three years field experiment in practical management conditions was carried out at La Poveda Field Station with the aim of establishing the relationship between allowance and intake and estimating the overall efficiency of the grazing system.

A paddock grazing management system was implemented with grazing time restricted to eight hours per day. 90, 98 and 98 lactating ewes of the Hanchega breed in its spring lambing season were used in 1985, 1986 and 1987 respectively.
