Pasture Management & Stocking Rate Optimisation
Are you running at the right stocking rate? Too many stock and you degrade your pastures. Too few and you're leaving money on the table. P2PAgri helps you match livestock demand to feed supply across your whole property, with real numbers, not guesswork.
How Do I Optimise Stocking Rates and Pasture Carrying Capacity?
Getting the balance right between livestock numbers and pasture carrying capacity is one of the most important decisions in a livestock business. P2PAgri helps you track over 100 pasture varieties, calculate carrying capacity in DSE per hectare, and allocate livestock to paddocks so you can optimise stocking rates without degrading your pasture base.
100+ Pasture Varieties
P2PAgri includes a comprehensive database of pasture types, from native grasses to improved pastures, legumes, and specialist forages. Select the varieties that match your paddocks and track their productivity.
Carrying Capacity in DSE
DSE measures livestock feed demand. One DSE equals a 50kg wether's annual feed requirement. P2PAgri uses your paddock areas (from the farm mapping tool) and pasture type to calculate carrying capacity in DSE terms. Compare this against your actual stocking rate to see where you have room to grow, or where you're overstocked.
Livestock-to-Pasture Allocation
Allocate livestock enterprises to specific pastures to get an accurate livestock gross margin per ha. Or use the on-board calculation which allocates pasture according to the proportion of total DSE use by each livestock enterprise.
Pasture Variable Costs
Track the variable costs of maintaining your pastures: fertiliser, weed and pest control, re-seeding, and fencing maintenance. These costs are allocated to the livestock enterprises that use the pasture, giving you a true cost of production.
Pasture Improvement & Non-Arable Areas
Investing in pasture improvement? Track the capital cost of establishment and see the return through improved carrying capacity over subsequent years. For properties with non-arable country that's only suitable for grazing, P2PAgri tracks these areas separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
DSE (Dry Sheep Equivalent) measures livestock feed demand. One DSE equals a 50kg wether's annual feed requirement. It lets you compare stocking rates, profitability, and pasture carrying capacity across different species and classes.
Yes. P2PAgri supports over 100 pasture varieties including native grasses, improved pastures, and specialist forages. Each paddock can have its own pasture type and carrying capacity.
When you allocate livestock to pastures, the pasture area is used to calculate your livestock gross margin per hectare. Pasture variable costs are also allocated to the livestock enterprises that graze them, giving you a true cost of production.
