For example, using UK government Livestock Units (LUs) from the 2003 scheme a particular 10 ha (25-acre) pasture field might be able to support 15 adult cattle or 25 horses or 100 sheep: in that scheme each of these would be regarded as being 15 LUs, or 1.5 LUs per hectare (about 0.6 LUs per acre). The sheep enterprise is stocked at the equivalent of 12 ewes per hectare, while the cattle system is stocked at 2.8LU/ha (livestock units per hectare). John Large speaking to delegates at the farm walk

Livestock grazing comparison is a method of comparing the numbers and density of livestock grazing in agriculture. Various units of measurement are used, usually based on the grazing equivalent of one adult cow, or in some areas on that of one sheep. either as a total for a whole field or farm, or as units per hectare (ha) or acre. sheep. If 10 hectares of good pasture were available in a region with a stocking rate of grazing pressure is 1 adult steer per hectare (or 10 sheep per hectare). Belclare X ewes; 1.7 lambs reared per ewe]) and three stocking rates. (SR): low ( 10 ewes/ha); medium (12 ewes/ha); and, high (14 ewes/ha) was conducted. The usual measure is dry sheep equivalents (DSE) per hectare (ha), however, this may also be expressed in terms of cattle per unit area, such as breeders  What's the potential – Stocking rate and sheep profitability. Ashley Herbert Lambs weaned /ha. - Ewes /ha. □ Minor Production Drivers. - Wool cut /hd. - Lamb %. - kg /carcass of pasture production. 4. Think per hectare, not per head   Other cattle 0–1 years old, 0.34, Other sheep over 1 year old, 0.08. Other cattle 1 –2 years old Sheep stocking rates should be less than 30 per hectare. It is an 

1 Jul 2013 There was a quadratic effect of SR on LW gain per hectare which decreased from 158 to 62 kg/ha (16 and 24 lambs/ha, respectively). For 

Lambs from ewes grazed without cattle at 4.9, 7.4 and 9.9 ewes and lambs per hectare and from ewes run with steers at an equivalent median stocking rate at  Sheep are the predominant grazing enterprise in the cropping and improved The Top 20% are farms with high profitability per effective hectares, based on  Apply 40 kg nitrogen per hectare (30 units per acre) to younger swards and drier areas to provide extended grazing for young cattle and sheep. If ground  Maintain an annual average stocking density of 0.15 livestock units per forage hectare for the 2018 calendar year. Applicants with sheep and/or goats must have  20 Dec 2014 In spring, relationships between LWt and total spring DM yield showed that 7.3 ± 0.68 kg LWt/ha was produced per 100 kg total DM (R2 = 0.87) 

Applying this principle, one 50kg dry goat is equivalent to one DSE and one yearling steer is equivalent to about 8 DSE, whereas a lactating cow may be equivalent to as much as 25 DSE. Stocking density (head/ha) refers to the number of stock per hectare on a grazing area or unit at any one time

On well fertilized flat land an all year round stocking rate is given as approx. 4-5 LSU per acre, I wouldn't go too much higher than that unless you are prepared to provide a lot of supplementary feed over winter.

The number of animals/ha promoted linear effect on average daily gain, which was higher for animals in the lowest stocking rate of 90 g/d. For gain per area, the   grazing crops for feed requires ¹MLA Stocking Rate Calculator can be found online at per ha. The number of ewes per ha plus lambing percentage, drives. grazing. Regardless of the specific details, grazing systems in semi-arid rangelands are all variants of the Information is generally related to sheep. Palatability numbers to see if fewer, better fed stock produce greater profits per hectare. 2. They found that lamb production per acre was greater with continuous grazing than with the rotational grazing that resulted in rest during bur clover flowering  It was stocked 24 days after sowing at the rate of 10 ewes and lambs per hectare. “The early grazing quality is fantastic, and it can take the grazing. “As an  19 Jul 2019 Stocking rates are the basic relationship between the forage 160 lb per acre- inch (see Using a Grazing Stick for Pasture Management or you're grazing, whether they are sheep, goats, horses, cattle, llamas, bison, elk, etc.

Only in the case of irrigated, cultivated pastures in South Africa, is the stocking rate expressed as x - number of animals per hectare, where one hectare of cultivated pasture is able to carry more than one, usually three to seven or more large stock units per hectare, depending on the type of pasture, fertilization and irrigation.

6 Mar 2019 The grazing livestock density index measures the stock of grazing animals (cattle, sheep, goats and equidae) expressed in livestock units (LSU) per hectare of fodder area. The fodder area is the sum of fodder brassica's and 

Applying this principle, one 50kg dry goat is equivalent to one DSE and one yearling steer is equivalent to about 8 DSE, whereas a lactating cow may be equivalent to as much as 25 DSE. Stocking density (head/ha) refers to the number of stock per hectare on a grazing area or unit at any one time For example, using UK government Livestock Units (LUs) from the 2003 scheme a particular 10 ha (25-acre) pasture field might be able to support 15 adult cattle or 25 horses or 100 sheep: in that scheme each of these would be regarded as being 15 LUs, or 1.5 LUs per hectare (about 0.6 LUs per acre).
