Extract

The close-grazing or rotational system of pasture management has received wide attention in recent years, not only from the agricultural chemist but in one or other of its various modifications from the farmer and dairyman. Its underlying principles have been found to be sound and its main features capable of practical application. Given a fertile soil, suitable fertilisation and favourable seasonal conditions, it serves to furnish a highly digestible, high-protein herbage throughout the season.
