Grazing Management including Conservation
The objective of this sub-programme is to undertake research that will develop grazing management systems that balance feed requirement with seasonal fluctuation in pasture production.
Potential Impact Indicators:
- Greater adoption of grass-based systems.
- User-friendly software to assist advisers and farmers in adoption of grass-based systems
