This text is a synthesis of research in production and management
since the inception of the discipline as an agricultural science in
the 1930s. All the ecological regions are covered extensively, but
the main emphasis is on the three biomes (grassland, savanna and
karoo) which produce the bulk of the forage supporting the domestic
livestock, conservation and the game farming industries. The book
has an audience beyond the borders of South Africa in the grassland
and savanna areas which stretch through southern and central
Africa.;The text is aimed at students concerned with the management
of natural ecosystems and also livestock producers and game
ranchers who rely on the veld to feed their animals. The text
throughout emphasizes the interpretation and application of
research results to the practical situation.;All major aspects of
veld production and management are covered in this book. It
outlines the physiological and ecological principles on which
management is based and which underpin the science. The book
presents management options based on these underlying principles
before dealing with recommended management procedures in each of
the main ecological regions of the country.;The contributions to
this book collectively represent a component of the expertise
available on issues related to veld management in South Africa.
They are veld and animal production researchers, conservation
managers and planners working both at a practical level, closely in
touch with livestock and game farmers, and at the more theoretical
level as teachers at colleges and universities.
