N.  aStocking rate trials in Ankole, UgandabI: botanical analysis and oesophageal fistula sampling of pastures grazed at different stocking rates.h[electronic resource]  c1974  aBotanical analyses of trails grazed at 3.6, 2.4,0.8 anf and 0.6 ha/300kg animal for years are detaliated. The two heaviest grazing pressures encouraged Brachiaria decumbens, a high quality grass, at the expense of Themeda triandra and Hypharrenia filipendula. Rotational grazing allowed the weed grass Cymbopogon afronardus to regenerate after clearing more rapidly than did continous grazing. Bullocks with oesophageal fistulas sampled pastures grazed at 2.4, 1.2 and 0.6 ha/animal at 4-weekly intervals for 12 months. The 0.6 ha/animal treatment was repeated on pasture cleared of the weed grass Cymbopogon afronardus. Cattle growth rates, both long term and at the time of sampling, were recorded.  aAngola  aThemeda triandra  aUganda  aBrachiaria Decumbens  aPastagem  aAnálise botânica  aRate  aStocking1 aPRATCHETT, D.  tJournal Agricultural Sciencegv. 82, p. 507-516, 1974.
