Estimations of livestock carrying capacity<\/span> for a single year or a series of years subject to variations in forage production.<\/p>\n

Evaluation of forage development \/management options<\/span>, especially their impact on forage resources and livestock productivity at the system level.<\/p>\n

Identification of forage limitations and critical periods<\/span> and assessment of conserved or special- purpose forage requirements<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Identification of the likely occurrence of forage quality deficits<\/span> and the effectiveness of management\/development options to alleviate these.<\/p>\n

Evaluation of changes in land use<\/span> and\/or land available for use<\/span>. For example, the impact of forestry on the traditional livestock production operations of a property; land retirement and its impact on the forage resource and livestock production, and; changes in property boundaries.<\/p>\n

Identification of optimum ratios of forage types<\/span>. For example area of hay land relative to grazing land.<\/p>\n

Evaluation of the impact of changes in livestock type<\/span> and\/or livestock production objectives<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Determination of optimum ratios of livestock types.<\/p>\n

Interpretation of the relationships between livestock types<\/span> (including herbivorous wildlife).<\/p>\n

Comparison of management practices<\/span>. For example comparison of a current or traditional system with alternate or “model optimised” regimes.<\/p>\n

Monitoring of trends in forage productivity and model-estimated forage consumption<\/span> within each block and paddock over a series of years (in association with a field programme of resource assessment).<\/p>\n

Assessment of the impact of actual or forecast long-term decline and\/or improvement in productivity<\/span> of grasslands or pastures on livestock carrying capacity. This may include the effect of cycles of grassland renovation. The resultant trends in livestock carrying capacity may incorporate intra and inter-year variability in forage production.<\/p>\n

Predicted decline in livestock support capacity with inter-year variability in forage production taken into account.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/p>\n

Identification of deviations from the “normal” or “forecast” seasonal patterns of forage availability<\/span> within groups of blocks or paddocks (in association with field monitoring of available dry matter).<\/p>\n

Pastoral resource monitoring and assessment<\/span> of individual forage\/land units through to district or regional scale.<\/p>\n

Determination of livestock emergency requirements<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Assessment of the impact of global climate change<\/span> on pastoral systems.<\/p>\n
