Uittreksel
Die groei en produksie van stergras in die kusgebied noordoos van Oos‐Londen, asook die lewende massa toenames van ossies op sodanige weiding oor ‘n periode van vier jaar word bespreek. Die maksimum produksie van stergras geskied gedurende die tydperk Januarie tot einde Februarie waarna dit skerp daal. ‘n Lewende massa toename van 998 kg/ha is by ‘n optimum veelading van 9,06 tollies/ha verkry. Die berekende winsgewenste veelading is 7,83 tollies/ha met ‘n berekende lewende massa toename van 979 kg/ha. Die berekende wins/ha by die winsgewenste veelading is R155.
Abstract
The growth and production of star grass in the coastal belt north east of East London, and the live mass production of tollies on this pasturage over a period of four years are discussed. The period of maximum production takes place from January to the end of February, after which it drops sharply. A live mass gain of 998 kg/ha is obtained at an optimum stocking rate of 9,06 tollies /ha. The most profitable stocking rate was calculated at 7,83 tollies/ha with a calculated live mass gain of 979 kg/ha. The calculated profit/ha at the most profitable stocking rate is R155.
