Grazing management following drought
Primefact Number: 364 Edition: First edition Released/reviewed: 01 Jan 2007
Livestock need particular attention following drought-breaking rain. The period brings its own specific problems, not the least of which are those brought about by the change in diet arising from the new pasture growth.
Stress due to wet conditions, and what can be a period of low nutrient intake, needs to be managed carefully if the transition to normal pasture conditions is to be successful. This Primefact discusses:
- rain - the immediate effect
- the green pick
- animal health
- pasture management.
