Question 1 Report

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a good pasture?
Answer Details
The option that is not a characteristic of a good pasture is "low leaf to stem ratio". A good pasture should have a high leaf to stem ratio because the leaves are the most palatable and nutritious part of the plant. High palatability, high nutritive value, high digestibility, and high resistance to trampling are all desirable characteristics of a good pasture. High palatability ensures that animals will consume enough forage, high nutritive value ensures that the forage meets the animal's nutritional requirements, high digestibility ensures that the animal can utilize the nutrients in the forage efficiently, and high resistance to trampling ensures that the pasture can withstand the grazing pressure from animals without being damaged.
