Abstract

A grazing study was conducted on irrigated Wairau lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) 'during summer and autumn using mixed-aged ewes. Two treatments were imposed: grazing durations of 3 and 12 days, with similar spells to the early flower stage of growth between successive grazings. This was carried out over two grazing and regrowth cycles.
