Assessment of the potential for grazing leucaena dominant regeneration areas at Comalco, Weipa

To convert weedy leucaena thickets into productive pastures on areas of land rehabilitated after bauxite mining, trials testing rotational versus continuous grazing strategies and a range of stocking rates are being assessed. Animal performance (liveweight gain) and pasture composition are being monitored to determine whether beef cattle can be used to effectively control weedy leucaena, increase the productivity of the land, and improve rehabilitation outcomes.
