Abstract

The effect of lax or hard dairy cow grazing (residual stubble height of 10 and 5 cm) and grazing frequency (grazing when sward height reached 35 or 20 cm) on persistence, productivity and forage quality of pure pastures of Lotus corniculatus was evaluated over two growing seasons. Keywords: Lotus corniculatus, dairy cows, grazing management
