Evaluating mob stocking for beef cattle in a temperate grassland.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Mob stocking is a type of livestock management method where high densities of animals are restricted to a small area of grassland for short periods of time (e.g., 12-24 hr.) before being moved to new forage. Use of mob stocking has generated considerable

Animal and pasture responses in contrasting temperate pasture-based cattle management systems: set-stocking versus cell grazing

Animal
Grasslands cover a significant portion of the Earth’s land and offer many benefits. In the UK, they constitute the largest agricultural area and support livestock production.

Animal production and canopy attributes of Cynodon pasture managed under continuous stocking with wethers at three levels of forage allowance [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of the present experiment was to evaluate the effect of forage allowance (3, 6 or 9 kg of green leaves dry matter (DM)/100 kg of body weight (BW)) on both animal performance and attributes of Cynodon dactylon var.dactylon canopy managed ...

McGraze : Concept model for modern continuous stocking

, 2015
This report analysed the modern continuous stocking system for dairy farms in the Netherlands. This system has to deal with a minimum grass height of 8 or 10cm (depending on the season) in order to obtain maximum grass production. A model should predict the available herbage mass under changing weather conditions and therefore the available fresh grass

Does the residual effect of n-fertilization applied on corn phase maintain forage production of the following pasture phase in an integrated crop-livestock system?

Bioscience Journal, 2020
Nutrient cycling represents an important nutrient source in the Integrated Crop-Livestock Systems (ICLS). In general, only the crop phase of the ICLS is fertilized, however little is known about this residual effect of nitrogen fertilization from summer ...

Castor cake as organic fertilizer to control gastrointestinal nematodes in pasture-raised sheep

Revista Brasileira de Parasitologia Veterinária, 2020
Gastrointestinal parasitism is one of the factors that discourages farmers from raising small ruminants in cultivated pastures. To validate a soil treatment strategy to control the free-living stages of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN), castor cake (CC ...

Forage production and persistence characteristics of grazed native warm‐season grass mixtures with or without nitrogen fertilizer

Grassland Research, 2022
Background Native warm‐season grass (NWSG) mixtures may provide a low‐nitrogen (N)‐input summer perennial forage option to extensively managed forage–livestock systems. Methods Mixed pastures of big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii Vitman), little bluestem (
