Vegetation Options for Increasing Resilience in Pastoral Hill Country

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021
Steep, uncultivable hill country below 1,000 m comprises about 40% of New Zealand's land surface area. Hill country farmers require options to increase the resilience of their farms to climatic and economic extremes while addressing soil conservation and

Apparent selectivity of sheep in deferred marandu palisadegrass pastures with variable initial heights [PDF]

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2019
The objective of this study was to evaluate the apparent selectivity of sheep in marandu palisadegrass (Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu) pastures with four heights at the beginning of the deferment period (15, 25, 35 and 45cm). The deferment period was 92

Evaluation of fall‐seeded cover crops for grassland nesting waterfowl in eastern South Dakota

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView., 2023
Cover crops are experiencing a revival among Midwestern farmers, and we assessed their attractiveness and safety for nesting ducks in South Dakota. Nest success was markedly lower in cover crops than in perennial cover during both years of our study, including 2019 which was a best‐case scenario for cover crops, with extremely wet conditions delaying ...

Intake and digestibility of nutrients during the grazing period in sheep on deferred marandu pastures with four initial heights

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2021
The objective of this study was to verify the effect of reducing in pasture height at the beginning of the deferment period (PHBD) of Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu on nutrient intake and digestibility in sheep during winter.

Deferred-Rotation Grazing with Steers in the Kansas Flint Hills [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1973
Highlight: Deferred-rotation grazing of Kansas Flint Hills' range grazed by steers May 1 to October 1 was compared to season-long stocking from 1950 through 1966. Deferredrotation pastures had higher forage production and range condition than season-long stocked pastures. Steer gains were higher on season-long than deferred-rotation pastures. Increased
