Abstract

The digestibility of the diet of cattle on the Bogong High Plains, in Victoria, was above 70% from the beginning of the grazing season in December 1982 until mid-March 1983, then fell to 63.5% at the end of the season in late March. Nitrogen content declined steadily from 1.60% to 0.99% in shrubland, 1.40% to 0.93% in grassland, 1.28% to 0.85% in mossbeds. The management implications are discussed.
