Abstract
Experiments in spring and autumn comparing the growth of lambs on "Grasslands Ariki" and "Grasslands Ruanui" ryegrasses in association with white clover at Gore are described. In spring no difference in growth rate or meat yield was detectable. In autumn growth rate was highest for animals on Ariki. The effects of set stocking, rotational grazing, and Se dosing are also reported.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
