Herbage Accumulation, Persistence and Nutritive Value of C4 Grasses Grown Across Temperate Environments in South‐Eastern Australia

open access: yesGrass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate modelling has projected increasing temperatures and a shift in rainfall systems in southern Australia, suggesting an increase in the summer–autumn feed gap of pasture systems based on temperate species. Tropical (C4) pasture species may diversify the feed base and help mitigate climate variability in these areas.

Poultry performance in different grazing densities: forage characteristics, losses due to grazing and feed intake

open access: yesSemina: Ciências Agrárias, 2014
Morphological characteristics of three forage species grazed by rustic poultry in stocking were evaluated. Coast-cross fodder, kikuyu grass, and stylosanthes were planted in 33-m2 paddocks with two densities (m2/animal): D1 = 3m2/animal and D2 = 1m2 ...
