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.
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.

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.

CONSERVATION is the basis of progress in dairy farming and the major form is meadow hay, but unfortunately relatively few dairy farmers give enough attention to the quality and quantity of this important feed.

rriHE nutritive value of pasture is high in early spring and remains so until early flowering.
After this the protein content falls rapidly, the fibre content rises and the plants become more lignifled and their digestibility reduced.
