Summary
It is recognised that the productivity of the Australian sheep flock is 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 to fund a Masters degree project to clarify the role of plant water in this process. The candidate withdrew and the project was terminated.
