Relationships between sheep liveweight production and dry matter yield for lucerne-based pastures in spring

Mills, Annamaria; Smith, Malcolm . C.; Moot, Derrick J. (New Zealand Grassland Association (NZGA), 2019)

A five-year dryland grazing experiment explored the relationship between sheep liveweight (LWt) production and dry matter (DM) yield of lucerne-based pastures in spring. In 2011, a randomised complete block experiment with ...

Relationships between dry matter yield and height of rotationally grazed dryland lucerne

Mills, Annamaria; Smith, Malcolm . C.; Moot, Derrick J. (New Zealand Grassland Association, 2016)

Between 2009/2010 and 2014/2015 a total of 711 destructive paired samples of total dry matter yield (kg DM/ha) and lucerne height were taken from a grazed dryland lucerne monoculture experiment at Ashley Dene, Canterbury, ...

Optimal grazing management to achieve high yields and utilisation of dryland lucerne

Moot, Derrick J.; Bennett, S. M.; Mills, Annamaria; Smith, Malcolm . C. (NZ Grassland Association, 2016)

The pre- and post-grazing dry matter yields from six individual paddocks in a grazed lucerne rotation were compared at Ashley Dene, Lincoln University, over 5 years. The mean annual yield was ~12 000 kg DM/ha and unaffected ...

Liveweight production of ewes and lambs grazing a dryland lucerne monoculture with or without barley grain supplementation

Moot, Derrick J.; Mills, Annamaria; Roux, M. M.; Smith, Malcolm . C. (New Zealand Grassland Association, 2016)

In 2013/2014 (Year 1) and 2014/2015 (Year 2) at Ashley Dene, Canterbury, New Zealand, sheep grazing dryland lucerne monocultures were supplemented with barley grain. In neither year did barley grain supplementation improve ...
