Comparative growth characteristics of goats tethered on native pasture and free-ranged on cultivated pasture

Small Ruminant Research, 1995
Abstract Tethering goats on marginal lands is a common practice in many countries but may result in BW loss during the dry season. To test an alternative system, groups of six young male Landim × French Alpine goats (12 kg BW average) were tethered daily for 6 h on native pasture or free-ranged for 24 h on a cultivated pasture which incorporated ...

Effect of Fertilization on Native Grass Pastures in Oklahoma

Journal of Range Management, 1960
Attempts to improve native grass areas by fertilization have rarely been successful in Oklahoma. Studies by Elder and Murphy (1958) and Murphy (n.d.) have shown that weeds were increased in native grassland by repeated applications of fertilizer. To obtain additional data on the effect of fertilizers on native grass pastures, studies were conducted in ...

Managing the composition of native and naturalised pastures with grazing

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1996
Abstract Many native, naturalised, and low‐input pastures have a low proportion of desirable species. Under the prevailing economic conditions, it is unlikely that these pastures would be replaced with sown native species as there may not be seed of suitable cultivars available and costs would exceed returns ...
