| *PALAT.=Palatability rating 0=0% grazed, 1=20%, 2=40%, 3=60%, 4=80%, 5=100% grazed.
Palatability of grasses under grazing is determined by visual estimation of percent defoliation of plots.
The visual determination is made midway during mob grazing by beef cows of the grass plots for intake determination. |
