Body

As well as ensuring the continuation of profitable animal production, the focus of grazing management systems is turning towards ongoing, sustainable use of native pastures and maintenance or improvement of biodiversity in the tropical savannas of the VRD. The Pigeon Hole Project is investigating three alternative grazing management systems with potential benefits for the region and comparing them with the current widespread management system. A comprehensive array of data is being collected to inform the development of a grazing management system suited to the district.
