Task 6 of Multi4More aims to investigate the impact of multispecies swards on animal performance and sward productivity in mid-season sheep production systems. The task includes assessing various performance metrics, identifying the optimal mixture of grass, legume, and herb functional groups in the sheep diet, and conducting a literature review of animal feeding studies. The ultimate goal is to provide a blueprint for sustainable and profitable sheep production using MSS, benefiting farmers, policymakers, and other stakeholders.
Task 7 – Generality of functional group effects in mixtures: the analysis of multi-species mixtures data in a global network of experiments.
Task 7 of Multi4More aims to analyse data from the global network of experiments called LegacyNet to identify optimal grass, legume, and herb proportions for
