Prime lamb production on acid soils in high rainfall region in southern Australia
Liming is one of the most important and effective measures to ameliorate acid soils in the high rainfall zone in southern Australia.Results from a long term experiment,known as MASTER ( Managing Acid Soils Through Efficient Rotations),showed that the lime application can increase pasture yield and improve the pasture quality.As a result,limed pastures produced 28％ more liveweight and 24％ more greasy wool than unlimed pastures using Merino wethers ( Liet al.2006).However,few experiments have evaluated lamb liveweight response to lime application on acid soils.Therefore,the objective of this study was to compare the effect of lime on lamb liveweight on both perennial and annual pastures with and without lime application.
