Synopsis

Synopsis

Quantitative theory indicates that gain per animal is constant as stocking rate is increased to a “critical” point. Beyond this point gain per head is inversely related to stocking rate. Gain per acre increases linearly as stocking rate is increased to the “critical” point, then decreases linearly with further increases in stocking rate.
