Description
Rotational stocking on mixed pastures of cool season grasses (C3) and kura clover (Trifolium ambiguum Bieb.) can be a sustainable way to reduce cattle feed costs. Kura clover is a long-lived rhizomatous perennial legume of good forage quality under grazing. However, the suitability of diverse grass species in binary mixtures with kura clover has not been reported extensively. This experiment aimed to evaluate sward composition, forage dry matter yield, and post-grazing residue in mixed kura clover and C3 grass pastures.
