Implications of an altered climate for forage conservation

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 1996
Conservation of grass forage for winter feeding of ruminant livestock is one of the most weather dependent of all farm operations, so a change in climate is likely to have a major impact on conservation practices. A weather driven whole system model previously used to study a range of hay and silage conservation methods, practices and mechanisation ...

Conservation of forage resources for increasing livestock production in traditional forage reserves in Tanzania
