Description
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of various pasture management techniques on the predicted yield of forage from pasture. Twelve researchers, extension and industry personnel in Atlantic Canada participated in the Delphi technique as well as the Conjoint analysis to arrive at estimates for the yield response expected from the use of single pasture management techniques and multiple combinations of the same. The results of the Delphi survey demonstrated that all of the pasture management techniques would increase the yield of forage, from seven percent up to forty-seven percent beyond the yield of unimproved, unmanaged pasture.
