Thesis (MScAgric) -- Stellenbosch University, 1984. / INTRODUCTION: This study was initiated by the various reports of improved
animal performance resulting from supplementary feeding of grazing ruminants and in this respect,
it may be regarded
as a feasibility study of the ability of the natural pasture at the applied stocking rates, to
supply the animal with its nutrient requirements, since before providing the animal
with supplementary nutrients, it is necessary to identify
those which may possibly limit animal production. The criti= cal test of such a limiting nutrient
would be an improved animal performance, resulting from supplementation of the
nutrient suspected as being limiting, under grazing conditions.
