The production of tropical pasture species is determined by a complex of interacting factors which include the climatic variables of temperature, rainfall, and solar radiation; the soil's capacity to supply nutrients; the soil water available to the roots; and the effects of both current and prev...
The factors of grazing management that influence tropical pasture utilization are discussed in this review. The principal objective is to consider stocking rate and grazing system effects-and their interaction-as related to the evaluation of germplasm under grazing. It is inferred that the study ...
Variations in sward canopy structure can exert an important influence on the ingestive behavior of grazing animals and hence on herbage intake and utilization. In tropical swards, the structural characteristics of major importance appear to be total herbage density or leaf bulk density and leaf-t...
Improved forages play an important role in sustaining the livelihoods of small- and medium-scale farmers in the tropics, mainly as a result of their positive effects on livestock production and contribution to economic and environmental sustainability. However, in many regions of the tropics, the...
