Tallow As A Substitute For Butterfat In The Diet Of A Young Calf, R. Sprivulis
Tallow As A Substitute For Butterfat In The Diet Of A Young Calf, R. Sprivulis
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
WHILE cow's milk is the best food for a young calf it is also very expensive.
The normal substitute for whole milk is skim milk, but removing the butterfat from cow's milk reduces the dry matter content by 30 per cent and the digestible energy by 50 per cent.
High Stocking Rate On Kikuyu Dairy Pasture : Progress Report On Grazing Trials On Kikuyu-Sub. Clover Pasture At Denmark Research Station, F E. Ryan
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
KIKUYU is one of the most valuable pasture plants on dairy farms in the South-West of Western Australia.
It combines well with subterranean clover and ryegrass if heavily stocked, and pastures managed in this way can be cut for legume-grass hay in the spring. However, relatively little is known of its carrying capacity or potential for production under grazing.

Higher Stocking Rates For Cattle On Irrigated Pasture : A Report From Wokalup Research Station, Maurice C. Cullity
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The possibility that higher cattle stocking rates than those commonly used could be economical was suggested by the results of a stocking rate trial at Wokalup Research Station

Survival Feeding Of Cattle During Drought, D J. Barker, J. T. Stoate
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
TO obtain adequate returns from the grazing of developed land, which has involved considerable capital investment, farmers may carry stock at rates which, though normally satisfactory, are too high in exceptionally poor seasons.
A look at some slternatives and their costs to maintaine the herd in drought.
More Butterfat Per Acre At Denmark Research Station, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
More Butterfat Per Acre At Denmark Research Station, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
STOCKING rates on dairy farms are generally too low and can be substantially increased, but unfortunately there is no satisfactory measurement to indicate the potential of a particular pasture or environment.
A trial carried out on Denmark Research Station in 1966-67, to obtain information on carrying capacity of a dryland kikuyu-subterranean clover pasture.

Home Mixing Or Purchased Feeds?, P Mcnamara
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
FEED is the largest single cost in pig production, so any saving which can be made will be of major importance.
