Body
Stocking rate has a profound influence on the animal production from pastures, the profitability of the enterprise and often the longevity of the pasture. The stocking rate/animal performance model of Jones & Sandland (1974) is a valuable tool in the characterization of pastures in terms of animal production and in achieving target masses of animals at target dates. The use of this model in experimentation and in the prediction of animal performance on the farm is discussed.
