Summary
It is recognised that the productivity of the Australian sheep flock is well below its genetic potential and it is likely that one of the contributing factors is limited intake when grazing pasture high in water content. This project was a PhD study to clarify the role of plant water in this process.
The project was terminated due to an inability of the candidate to complete the study.
