Book excerpt: Increased efficiency in the use of common feeds and by-products for feeding will have general application in ruminant production under any conditions, and in periods of severe feed shortages will be vital to the maintenance of producer flocks and herds.

Complementary management techniques such as pregnancy diagnosis, early weaning, supplementation of pastures and the use of stubble fields are described.
