Relationships between pasture management inputs and pasture consumption rates in non‐irrigated dairy systems in south‐eastern Australia

摘要：

Perennial ryegrass ( Lolium perenne L.),the mainstay of non‐irrigated dairy pasture‐base in south‐east Australia,is relatively easy to be established and managed but generally does not produce well in winter and summer.Integrating other pasture species and forage crops into the ryegrass‐base may improve the seasonality and annual forage production.This paper compares the seasonal patterns of pasture consumption from a well‐managed perennial ryegrass‐based dairy system,with a complementary forage‐based system comprising perennial ryegrass,tall fescue ( Festuca arundinaceae Schreb.),annual/Italian ryegrass ( Lolium multi f lorum),and a double cropping rotation.
