Table 2 showed that there were no significant effects of live weight or interactions between live weight and herbage species on the faecal alkane recoveries.
At turn-out, all calves were exposed to a similar level of overwintered herbage larval contamination on all three plots (fig. 2).
The standing green herbage was removed and dead litter on the soil surface was then collected from each quadrat.
A technique for the recovery of strongyle larvae from masticated herbage.
However, this difference was not reflected in reductions in larval numbers on the herbage.
Among-year variation in infection prevalence was observed and was independent of herbage, temperature and rainfall.
The improvement of total annual yield, persistency, disease resistance and extended grazing season are important objectives in most herbage breeding programmes.
Breeding for improved herbage quality in perennial ryegrass.
