    Notes: Three groups of Hereford × Friesian steer calves, bom in early January 1969, were strip-grazed on eqoal areas of a sward of S321 perennial ryegrass from May to September inclusive, and received kibbled barley at the rate of nil, 3/4% or 1 1/2% of liveweight per day. Adjustments were made to the number of animals per group in order to maintain the same high grazing intensity (defined as 8 cm stubble height in grazed areas) on all treatments. The animals receiving supplementary barley gained weight at a rate 17–19% higher than the controls, but there was no significant difference in growth rate between the high and low levels of supplementation. The effficiency of conversion of barley was only 5–12 kg per animal liveweight gain/100 kg barley OM.The high level of supplementation resulted in an increase in stocking rate of 36 % over that of the control group, and an increase in liveweight gain per unit area of land grazed of 63%. The additional liveweight gain due to supplements, expressed per unit area of land grazed, was relatively constant at 21–24 kg liveweight gain/ 100 kg barley OM consumed.

    Notes: Experiments were conducted in 1967 and 1968 in which HerefordXFriesian (Experiment 1) and Friesian (Experiment 2) steer calves horn in April were turned out to graze at one week or 3 months of age, respectively, and maintained at three stocking densities in the ratio 1:2:3 animals per unit area. The calves grazed paddocks of S23 perennial ryegrass in rotation, and were moved when the height of grazed stubble at the medium stocking density was reduced to 8 cm. The rate of liveweight gain and herbage intake per head declined as stocking rate increased. When the results of the two experiments were compared, the weight gain of the calves was more closely related to the weight of herbage residues than to the height of the grazed sward. The rate of liveweight gain was depressed when the amount of herhage left after grazing fell helow 2000–2500 kg OM/ha (1800–2250 Ib/ac).

    Notes: Studies were carried out on the effects of diurnal variation, fasting before sampling, and acclimatization to a sward on the chemical composition and in vitro OM digestibility of samples of extrusa collected from sheep fitted with oesophageal fistulae. The N content of extrusa samples increased markedly during the morning, and tended to decline again in the evening. The diurnal changes in digestibility were similar, but the variation was much smaller. There was no significant correlation between either N content or OM digestibility and grazing speed measured in bites per minute. There were no significant changes in either the N content or OM digestibility of successive samples of extrusa collected after over-night fasting, or after the sheep were introduced to a sward to which they were not accustomed, though the concentration of ash in the extrusa was significantly lower when the sheep were hungry than when they were not. The OM digestibility of the diet selected was approximately two units lower on the first two days after introduction to a new sward than the mean value of samples collected over the next 12 days.

    Notes: Individual tillers of S23 ryegrass, in three paddocks set-stocked with sheep at widely differing grazing pressures, were marked and studied from 11 July to 19 August, 1966, and observations were made on the frequency and severity of grazing.The uprooting of tillers, and the destruction of others, were major sources of loss of records. It was found that an acceptable measure of the frequency of defoliation could be made by recording three times a week. In a subsidiary experiment it was shown that repeated handling did not affect the DM yield, the number of tillers or the length of green leaf (G.L.L.) of single plants.Despite the extreme differences in grazing pressure, there were no significant differences between paddocks in the daily increase in the G.L.L. of tillers which were not grazed during a short period of intensive recording. In all three paddocks the sheep tended to graze the tillers with the greatest G.L.L. at any one time, and there was evidence of patchy grazing only at the lowest grazing pressure.An increase in grazing pressure resulted in increases in both the frequency and severity of defoliation. Comparisons were made between the product of the frequency X severity of defoliation of individual tillers, and the stocking rate, grazing pressure and herbage consumption on the three paddocks.

    Notes: A method designed to study the defoliation of individual tillers in a set-stocked sward is described. This was used on S23 ryegrass swards carrying 19 (medium-stocked) and 30 (heavily-stocked) sheep/ac.The tillers in the heavily-stocked sward were defoliated, on average, every 7–8 days, and those in the medium-stocked sward every 11–14 days. The total green leaf length (GLL) of tillers grazed by the sheep was generally greater than that of tillers not grazed. On average 27 and 40% of the GLL of tillers in the medium- and heavily-stocked swards respectively was removed at each grazing. Older leaves on the grazed tillers were defoliated much less frequently than were younger leaves.It is suggested that a rational analysis of the relationship between the grazing animal and the grazed sward cannot be made without more work of this nature.

    Notes: Six calves, six heifers and six dry cows grazed a mature sward (treatments A and B) and a leafy aftermath (treatment C) in succession. The yields of herbage on the two swards were 7100 lb and 1950 lb DM per acre (7950 kg and 2180 kg per ha), respectively. The amounts of herbage offered daily were 47 lb (21–5 kg) DM per head (treatment A), 70 lb (32 kg) (treatment B), and 60 lb (27 kg) (treatment C), Two estimates of herbage organic–matter intake (O,M,I,) were made on each treatment; records of grazing behaviour were made on treatments B and C, The digestibility of the diet selected on treatment C was higher than that selected on treatments A and B, and the animals ate significantly more O,M, on treatment C, The total grazing times on treatments B and C were similar, but the animals found it more difficult to graze on treatment BHerbage O.M.I. increased significantly from treatment A to treatment B, even though the quantity of herbage offered per day on treatment A greatly exceeded the amount eaten. The increase in O,M,I, was found to be associated with an increase in faecal 0,M, output, but the digestibility of the diet did not change.

    Notes: Summary The apex of the root has been proposed as the site of maximum nutrient uptake, a view based on the accumulation of some ions in the cells of apical meristem4. In this study, intact roots were grown across a thin agar sheet containing a radioisotope of iron. Uptake was then measured quantitatively by autoradiography of the dried agar once the root had been removed. Uptake patterns were not observed to occur around the roots of plants that had been supplied with sufficient iron. Around the roots of plants showing severe irondeficiency symptoms, patterns consistently showed depletion of iron in the agar starting at 3.5 cm behind the tip and continuing to the point of complete suberization of the endodermis. No uptake was observed around the apical 3.5 cm of the root, although the highest concentrations within the root have centered on the apex.
