To compare the productivity and nutrient supply of natural and wheat pastures for grazing lactating goats.
Grazing conducted over three years (2003-2005)
Twelve Saanen goats allocated to each pasture type
Pastures grazed for two to three months per year
Measured pasture yield, hay intake, and milk yield
Wheat pasture yielded approximately 3.5-fold more hay than natural pasture
Goats in the wheat pasture had higher hay intake across all years
Daily milk yield was significantly greater in goats grazing on wheat pasture
Crude protein content in wheat pasture was initially higher than in natural pasture
