Abstract
Three experiments were conducted to compare milksolids (MS) production from cows grazing similar herbage allowances of timothy (Phleum pratense)/white clover (Trifolium repens) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium spp.) pastures. Two experiments were shortterm (2 weeks), one in spring 2000 (Experiment 1) and one in autumn 2001 (Experiment 2), and one longerterm (12 weeks) irrigated trial in summer/autumn 2002 (Experiment 3). In Experiment 1, the yield of all milk components; fat, protein, MS, casein and lactose, was greater from timothy/white clover than ryegrass, whereas in Experiment 2, the production of these components from timothy/white clover was less than from ryegrass. The protein content of timothy/white clover was greater than ryegrass in spring (P
