Abstract
The productivity of sheep is largely governed by the amount of pasture they eat and this is influenced by the quantity of the pasture on offer and its quality. Assessing pasture quantity and quality throughout the growing season gives managers the information they need to manage animal performance and pasture condition.
The Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development provides this information for farmers to help improve the productivity and profitability of the livestock industry in Western Australia.
