1 Hillcrest Pastoral Company (Avenue Range) We aim to improve soil, pasture and stock health through a 1. Balanced nutrition program 2. Incorporating biological properties into the system 1
2 Analysis of the current system has identified a plateau in production with the use of conventional fertilisers. The paddocks ability to hold water (water infiltration) and soil compaction (friability) have been identified as issues facing Hillcrest. Quantifying Results: Measured, Monitored and Managed Soil and tissue testing Soil physical analysis Stock analysis (Blood testing and weight gain trials) Pasture quality (Feed tests) 2

6 Tissue testing Feed tests 6
7 Feed tests Blood tests 7
8 Brix Brix readings were measured as an indication of pasture quality. Brix measures dissolved solids (sugars) in the plant sap, directly indicating how well the plant is photosynthesising. High brix in plants = Increased feed conversion and weight gain Brix 8
9 Weight Gains Cattle were weighed and entered within a 5 kg weight range Paddocks were run at 17 DSE Daily weight gain measured over 53 days (Kg/day) Year: 1= 255 g/day 2= 51 g/day 3= 80 g/day Soil physical analysis 9
10 Water Infiltration The soils ability to hold and infiltrate water can be tested through these methods. 25 mm is applied and the time taken for infiltration measured. Repeated up to 75mm. Water Infiltration Note: Experiments 2009 stopped at 150 minutes 10

Pastures have persisted in previous problem paddock (number 3). Pasture Quality Improvements in pasture quality have been shown with weight gains in cattle compared to the single super treatment. Increased brix levels in biological pasture have been observed. Greater clover base in bio paddocks. Water Infiltration Improvements have been shown in water infiltration rates. Indicative of improvements in soil structure and biology Plant Nutrients/Blood tests Comparisons of nutrient values and blood testing requires more replications 13
