Grassland and Animal Production

Abstract

IN July 1937 the International Grassland Conference was held in Great Britain, and the delegates examined closely the work and promise of the Aberystwyth nucleus, from which so much of the newer knowledge and philosophy of grassland management has spread. In the last week of June 1947, a further review of the activities of the Welsh Plant Breeding Station was made by members of the British Grassland Society and the Society of Animal Production at the first joint meeting of the two groups. This occasion, too, was given a minor international flavour by the representatives from countries overseas, who took the opportunity to refresh their contacts with workers in Britain; but, useful as this was, the greater significance of the meetings and visits lay in fcthe interchanges of ideas and comments between those concerned on one hand with better grassland and, on the other, with better use of that grassland by the animal.
