Effects of grazing at different stocking densities and grazing period on yield and chemical composition of herbage in the subhumid zone of Nigeria
Over a grazing period of about 14 weeks, comparisons were made between pasture improved with Stylosanthes hamata and that based on natural grassland. The grazing densities ranged from 2.11 to 4.23 TLU/ha (Tropical Livestock Unit = 250 kg liveweight). Both pastures were grazed in the previous wet sea...
