Biserrula is a resilient hard-seeded annual legume that is well suited to use in crop-pasture rotations as an on-demand break option.
However, little is currently known about the performance of livestock grazing on biserrula pastures.
During spring 2014, Dr Belinda Hackney led a team undertaking an on-farm assessment of live-weight gains in prime lambs grazing on regenerating stands of biserrula over a period of 56 days.
Dr Hackney will discuss her team’s research findings at the Graham Centre Sheep Forum being held at the Charles Sturt University Convention Centre on Friday, July 10.
