Nitrogen For Pastures, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The use of nitrogen (N) fertilisers on cereals has long been recognised and accepted as an economic farm practice. It is only more recently that the use of fertiliser nitrogen has been considered for pasture and fodder production, mainly on wholemilk and butterfat farms in the South-West. The high quality feed produced may be substituted for concentrates or conserved fodder. Large increases in seasonal production have been reported.
Because nitrogen fertiliser is expensive, has a short-term effect, and can affect the clover content of pastures, a series of field experiments were conducted in 1973 to examine the role of nitrogen …

Farm Grazing Levels, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Stocking rates in many dairying areas are so low that the Division has established nine grazing level demonstrations in various areas.
Their aim is to demonstrate that higher stocking rates are practical on existing farms.
Higher Stocking Rates For Cattle On Irrigated Pasture : A Report From Wokalup Research Station, Maurice C. Cullity
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
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.
Range Feeding Of Cotton By-Products In The Kimberleys, John Hubert Auty
Range Feeding Of Cotton By-Products In The Kimberleys, John Hubert Auty
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
Commercial cotton production has started in the Ord River area and by-products of the industry will soon be available for stock feeding in the surrounding pastoral areas.
Cotton seed and cotton seed meal will cause digestive upsets if fed in any quantity to horses, poultry or pigs.
Ruminants have no trouble in handling the material and the Kununurra ginnery could supply a useful protein supplement for Kimberley cattle.
Tree Lucerne : A Fodder Crop With A Future, Laurence C. Snook
Tree Lucerne : A Fodder Crop With A Future, Laurence C. Snook
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
IN December, 1952, an article was published in this Journal drawing attention to the potential value of white flowered tree lucerne (Cytisus prolifer) as a source of nutritious green fodder during the dry summer months.
Figures were quoted to show that heavy yields could be obtained year after year with very little effort, and no outlay other than for fertiliser.
The advantages to be gained from the cultivation of this tree were made very apparent and many farmers set out to grow the shrub.
