Utilization and relative palatability of different grass species

Abstract

A simple technique is described by which it is possible to collect information on the utilization of different grass species by means of point surveys. This method enables the relative acceptability (utilization) of different species to be compared between different veld types, ecological regions, different treatments of factorial experiments, etc.
