## 5 Conclusions  
Some of the advantages from this study include the fact that carcasses of lambs grazing on lucerne pasture or CFP pasture with pellet supplementation were over 22 kg, implying suitability for meeting local and export market requirements. Lam's grazing lucerne pasture had higher performance and carcass traits than lambs grazing CFP pasture. Although pellet supplementation did not change the final LWT, ADG, BL, WH and CG of grazing lambs, it was apparent that cocksfoot grazing lambs with pellet supplementation and lucerne grazing lambs with RBO supplementation had higher dressing percentages than lambs grazing on pasture only. Furthermore, supplementation with NOP significantly increased rib eye area of grazing lambs. Therefore, supplementation of CFP grazing lambs with CO can be utilised as a strategic nutritional tool to increase the carcass weight and OTH trade of lambs with low FCE. The key advantage emanating from this study is the practical applicability and flexibility with which lamb producers can apply the results of this feeding trial to their sheep farms depending on available feed ingredients in their localities. However, it is also pertinent to interpret the results with caution, because this study was a small-scale experimental trial with limited number of grass and legume species under Tasmanian grazing conditions that may not be generalized elsewhere. Further studies with large-scale sheep grazing and pastoral enterprises with a larger variety of grasses and legumes currently being used to fatten prime lambs by farmers are suggested. Future research with other grasses and legumes in different regions will also widen the scope of the investigation and give lamb producers more options in the improvement of lamb production.
