Grazing systems demonstration to optimise pasture utilisation and stocking rate in Mediterranean environments of southern Australia

摘要：

In southern Australia,the reliance of livestock production systems on annual pastures has resulted in increased salinisation,soil acidification and waterlogging.While the incorporation of deeper‐rooted perennial pastures is recognised as a key factor in reducing this environmental degradation,the adoption of perennial species is dependent on their profitability and productivity.This paper reports on a demonstration designed to highlight the value of perennial pastures on the productivity, profitability and sustainability of a grazing system.
