This tool allows you to determine your average pasture supply, and likely variability, based on
data collected in trials across southern Australia.
The mid-monthly estimates of pasture growth rates (kg DM/ha/day) following are for average
seasonal conditions for a range of localities and regions across the high rainfall and wheat–sheep
zones of Australia. They are from State PROGRAZE® manuals, available from your State
Department of Agriculture/Primary Industries, and based on a combination of research results,
growth predictions and practical experience. Although there is a large variation in rainfall pattern
and feed supply within any year, when put together these monthly values reflect pasture growth
in a ‘typical’ year for the locality or region without reference to growth in the previous month.
These estimates assist with calculations for short to medium term decision making in sheep
enterprises and assist with the calculations in feed budgets.
Assumptions
The following assumptions are made for the pasture growth information unless otherwise stated in the values for a particular region:
- Pastures are of moderate to high density
- Pastures or pasture mixes with a good balance of legumes, grown on suitable soils
- Soil has good moisture holding capacity, such as a clay loam
- Pasture is maintained in an active growth phase during the growing season
- Pastures are well managed and fertilised to avoid nutrient deficiencies
- Estimates are the average for each month.
The following variables need to be considered and adjusted against the expected local, district or regional patterns, and practical experience:
- Climate (rainfall and temperature)
- Soil type and variability
- Pasture species
- Fertiliser (nutrient) requirements
- Grazing management.

- Any pasture with sub clover are assumed to have fertilizer applied yearly
- Grass only pastures have no fertilizer
- Growth rates are for set stocked paddocks

The data is from measurements undertaken between 1990-96 from pastures on well drained soils. For low lying clay soils, winter growth might be 10-20% lower with higher growth rates (20-30 kg DM/ha/day) in December - January.

Pasture composition
These growth rates are for a typical pasture mix of perennial ryegrass and cocksfoot with white
and red clover in the high rainfall areas, grading to sub clover in the lower rainfall areas. The
measurements were taken over 4 years (1992–1995) at trial sites.
