More Sheep Per Acre, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
More Sheep Per Acre, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
In the late 1950's agricultural scientists in Western Australia became convinced that much of the improved pasture in the agricultural areas of the State was going to waste.
The results of the early trials resulted in many farm demonstrations of higher carrying capacities on improved pastures in southern agricultural areas.

The Avondale Stocking Rate Experiment, L D. White, R. J. Lightfoot, R. N. Glencross
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THERE is now ample evidence that stocking rates well above the usual district levels can be carried in the Avon Valley.
However, many aspects of increasing stocking rates still require investigation, particularly with lambing ewes and young sheep.

Comparisons Of Broiler Rations, D F. Hessels
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
PELLETS are the most profitable feed for broiler chickens—but when they contain about two-thirds cereal, does it pay a country grower to pay freight on pellets when cereals are plentiful in his district?
Stocking Rates On Light Land : Wongan Hills Research Station, R J. Lightfoot, W. L. Mcgarry
Stocking Rates On Light Land : Wongan Hills Research Station, R J. Lightfoot, W. L. Mcgarry
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE two most important things that determine the rate of return on invested capital in Merino sheep breeding and grazing are the stocking rate and lambing percentage.
Values Of Commonly-Used Protein Supplements In Broiler Rations, D F. Hessels
Values Of Commonly-Used Protein Supplements In Broiler Rations, D F. Hessels
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE performances of broiler flocks in the latter part of 1964 were below standard. Low body weights and a high incidence of gizzard erosion were common on farms.
It was therefore decided to test the biological valuss of the commonly-used protein supplements and also to try to find a correlation between gizzard erosion and any of the protein supplements.
Stocking Rates On Cyprus Barrel Medic In The Northern Wheatbelt, R J. Parkin
Stocking Rates On Cyprus Barrel Medic In The Northern Wheatbelt, R J. Parkin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN May 1963, some three weeks after germination, a 4th year stand of Cyprus barrel medic was stocked with Merino wethers.
These same sheep are still grazing the area after three years.
Good Management For The Springers Pays Dividends, J Y. Langdon
Good Management For The Springers Pays Dividends, J Y. Langdon
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
This article gives a striking example of the advantages of calving cows in good and rising condition—and explains why condition around calving time is so important.
ALTHOUGH most farmers know that cows calving in good and improving condition will give higher yields than those calving in poor condition, few use this knowledge to improve the production from their cows.
Heavy Rate Set Stocking : Esperance Downs Research Station, R J. Doyle
Heavy Rate Set Stocking : Esperance Downs Research Station, R J. Doyle
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THIS article describes a stocking rate demonstration in one paddock at Esperance Downs Research Station, using Merino wethers.
Since December 1961, the area has supported 530 to 540 Merino wethers under continuous grazing.
Rate Of Stocking, Rate Of Fertiliser In The Chapman Valley, R J. Parkin
Rate Of Stocking, Rate Of Fertiliser In The Chapman Valley, R J. Parkin
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE Chapman Valley embraces a relatively small area of country, following generally the course of the Chapman River.
The Chapman Valley proper extends from just north-east of Geraldton to Nanson, Nabawa and Naraling and includes on its fringes, areas of Narra Tarra, Moonyoonooka and areas west of Nabawa towards Northampton.
