	abstract = {The relationship was investigated between the number of days each  fortnight spent grazing Lotus corniculatus (lotus) or ryegrass/white clover  and dags, flystrike and growth rates in lambs. Lambs which grazed lotus for  7 or more days each fortnight had significantly fewer dags (86-113g) and  significantly higher live-weight gains (160-104 g/day) than lambs grazed on  ryegrass/white clover (154g, P<0.01 and 73g/day, P<0.05 for dags and live- weight gain respectively). Lambs which grazed lotus continuously had  significantly higher live-weight gains than lambs which grazed lotus for 7 or  less days each fortnight. Flystrike was positively correlated with dags  although this was less obvious over time-period 1 when the incidence of  flystrike was low. The incidence of flystrike differed significantly between  treatment groups ((2 P<0.001), ranging from 36\% of lambs struck in the all  ryegrass/white clover groups to 7\% in the all lotus groups. Wool growth,  faecal dry matter content and faecal nematode egg count (FEC) did not  differ between treatments. These results confirm the potential of lotus as a  tool in the management of dags and flystrike but indicate that lambs will  need to be grazed on lotus for 7 or more days each fortnight in order to  realise significant benefits. },
