Abstract
1. The rate of clean wool production, carcass apparisal and reticulo-ruminal development of grazing sheep were used to evaluate differences in pasture quality. Perennial ryegrass, cocksfoot and tall fescue pastures were assessed as pure stands and also white clover.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
