Daily behavioral grazing patterns of beef cattle: continuous stocking grazing vs. strip grazing managed by virtual fencing [PDF]
Veterinary and Animal ScienceVirtual fencing is an innovative technology for managing grazing cattle using GNSS collars. Animals were contained through a paired stimulus: when they approach a virtual boundary, the collar emits audio warnings, followed, if ignored, by an electrical ...

Temporal changes in soil carbon and nitrogen in response to grazing management and vegetation cover in south-eastern Australia. [PDF]
PLoS ONEMaintaining appropriate levels of carbon and nitrogen in soils is critical to the maintenance of productivity in agricultural systems. However, results vary from studies on the influence of land management, such as livestock grazing, on soil carbon and ...

Rotational and continuous grazing of sheep in the Inner Mongolian steppe of China
Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 2009 SummaryThe aim of this study was to compare the effects of rotational and continuous grazing on herbage mass (HM), organic matter digestibility (dOM) and intake (OMI) and live weight gain (LWG) of sheep grazing on the inner Mongolian steppe, China at a stocking rate of 4.5 sheep/ha during the growing season.
