Diverse Swards and Mixed-Grazing of Cattle and Sheep for Improved Productivity
Increasing sward phytodiversity has been suggested as having potential to increase primary production of grasslands, but whether any such gains are converted into secondary production, through improved performance of grazing livestock, remains uncertain. Animal production by cattle and sheep can als...
