Milk production and milk fatty acid composition of grazing dairy cows supplemented with fodder beet
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production (Inc), 2018)
A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing a perennial ryegrass-based diet with fodder beet on milk production and milk fatty acid (FA) composition, of dairy cows in early lactation. Sixty Friesian × ...
Influence of environmental factors on the abundance of naturalised annual clovers in the South Island hill and high country
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2010)
The abundance of four naturalised annual clovers
(striated, cluster, suckling, haresfoot) and two
sown clovers (subterranean and white clover) was
investigated in relation to topographical, soil fertility
and management ...
Control of gorse (Ulex europaeus) in dryland pasture converted from Pinus radiata forest
(New Zealand Plant Protection Society, 2007-09-24)
The effect of crop sequence, pasture species mixture and nitrogen fertiliser
on gorse establishment was monitored over 23 months in land converted
from pine forest to a dryland sheep pasture. There were fewer gorse plants
in ...
Liveweight gain per head and per ha throughout the year of lambs grazing conventional pastures and those that switch from grass to clover
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2010)
Intensive lamb finishing requires a consistent supply
of high quality forage throughout the year to regularly
finish lambs. Per head and per ha liveweight gain of
weaned lambs was compared in 13 batches of lambs
on replicated ...
Milk production and urination behaviour of dairy cows grazing diverse and simple pastures
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production (Inc), 2015-07)
Milk production and urination patterns were measured for mid-lactation dairy cows grazing a simple perennial ryegrass-white clover pasture (n = 15) and a more diverse pasture (n = 15) containing herb (chicory and plantain) ...

Forage responses to lime and nitrogen fertiliser on land converted from pine forest to dryland pasture in Canterbury
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2007)
A field trial was established to quantify the impacts of
lime (0, 2.5, 5 and 10 t/ha) and nitrogen (N) fertiliser (0,
50, 100, 200 and 400 kg N/ha/year) addition on the dry
matter (DM) production of a crop sequence of ...
Ex-vivo cow rumen fluid fermentation: Changes in microbial populations and fermentation products with different forages
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-07-09)
This study investigated the effects of three forage treatments [herbal plantain (PL), ryegrass-white clover pasture (RW) and root crop fodder beet (FB)] on ex-vivo rumen fluid fermentations. Quantitative real-time Polymerase ...
Pasture composition and production from different cropping sequences in dryland pasture converted from Pinus radiata forest
(New Zealand Grassland Association., 2007)
Dry matter production and pasture composition were
measured over 22 months in eight cropping sequences
on a dryland site converted from forest to pasture.
Cropping sequences involved different combinations of:
(i) autumn ...
