A Diverse Pasture Grazing System Enhances Ewe and Lamb Performance Over a Three‐Year Grazing Study

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 81, Issue 3, July-September 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐output pasture‐based ruminant production systems in temperate regions are typically based on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.; PRG) swards. Multispecies swards can improve animal performance; however, evidence from multi‐year, full‐system experiments remain limited.
