چکیده

Context The Acland Land System overlying the Walloon sandstone coal deposits in southern Queensland is generally marginal for cropping but well suited to grazing, and thus cultivated land commonly returned pasture. Rehabilitation of these lands after open-cut mining seeks be safe, stable self-sustaining satisfy requirements ecologically sustainable development. Aims present paper evaluates sustainability economic viability beef production on (a) retired from cultivation then rehabilitated with sown pastures at New mine site, (b) similar nearby pasture that were not mined also cultivation. Methods GRASP grazing systems model was modified calibrated short-term (5-year) trial data (soil, cattle observations), used long-term (60-year) weather estimate effects type, rundown, climate pressure productivity returns. three sites 15 unmined evaluated, including six commercial properties. Key results Estimates mean annual growth types (Mountain Coolibah, Brigalow Uplands Poplar Box) 3398, 2817 2325 kg/ha respectively. Pasture greater lands; 3736 site most typical a 4959 across sites. Seasonal conditions had large liveweight gain (133–213 kg/head per year during trial); however, main driver returns hectare. In GRASP, potential nitrogen uptake influence key processes accounted 64% variation observed growth. lift subsequent rundown typically associated estimated have increased 2014–2018 period by up 17% 25% less than 139 kg/head.year (45 kg/ha.year) AU$154/adult equivalent. Conclusions Rehabilitated found pressures 30% utilisation growth, comparable native good condition. Pastures reduced productivity. Implications Overgrazing significant on-going residual risk production. Grazing regimes need continually adjust changes novel landscapes, condition climate. methods study could applied more generally.

Analysis of Pasture Systems to Maximize the Profitability and Sustainability of Grass-fed Beef Production

Pasture systems for grass-fed beef production in the Gulf Coast region were evaluated for profitability and sustainability over the period 2009/2010 to 2011/2012. May-weaned steers were divided into groups and randomly placed into different pasture systems. Data on input usage, output quantities, and carbon emissions were recorded and analyzed. The least complex grazing system yielded higher pr...
