Evaluation of hay-type and grazing-tolerant alfalfa cultivars in season-long or complementary rotational stocking systems for beef cows.
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) persistence and forage and cow-calf production were evaluated on pastures containing smooth bromegrass with or without grazing-tolerant or hay-type alfalfa cultivars rotationally stocked in either a season-long or complementary system. In 1997, six 2.02-ha pastures were seeded with smooth bromegrass, a mixture of a grazing-tolerant alfalfa (Amerigraze variety) and s...
متن کاملFactors affecting white clover persistence in New Zealand pastures
Better persistence and reliability of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) is critical in achieving a more competitive New Zealand farming industry. To persist, white clover must establish well and withstand the accumulated stresses of competition from associated grasses, grazing, variable soil fertility, drought, plus pest and disease pressure. These factors vary markedly with environment and fa...
متن کاملUltrasonographic Evaluation of the Urinary System in New Zealand White Rabbit and Tolai Hare
Ultrasonographic examination of urinary system (kidney and urinary bladder) was conducted in New Zealand white rabbit [NZwr] and Tolai hare (Lepus tolai). Ultrasound images of the kidney and urinary bladder were evaluated on fifteen healthy rabbits of New Zealand white rabbit and another fifteen Tolai hares. The healthy rabbits were 8-12 months old (mean = 9.3 months), of both sexes and weighed...
متن کاملFactors influencing farmer acceptance and uptake of new white clover cultivars
White clover is important to New Zealand pastoral farming yet uptake of new agronomically superior cultivars by farmers is slower than expected. Three main areas which explain why this is occurring are: 1. The need to demonstrate economic benefits due to superior agronomic performance of new cultivars to overcome barriers such as price and farmers satisfaction with existing products. 2. Farmers...
متن کاملSoil Changes Associated with Cessation of Sheep Grazing in the Canterbury High Country, New Zealand
Soil degradation has been implicated as a cause of the poor vegetation condition over much of the unimproved tussock grassland in the South Island high country and as a threat to the sustainability of extensive pastoralism (Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, 1991; South Island High Country Review Working Party, 1994). A key requirement for assessment of sustainability is an ability...
