FORAGES AND PASTURES | Grazing Management

2002
Development of an effective grazing management system depends on understanding the needs of the pasture and the animals grazing the pasture. The systems adopted can vary from continuous or set -stocked grazing, at one extreme, to very small allocations of pasture through strip grazing, at the other extreme. At the correct stocking rate, animals set set-

Management of Forages for Stocker Cattle

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2006
Successful grazing management of stockers requires knowledge of plant growth characteristics. Maintaining abundant leaf area is critical to support photosynthesis and plant growth as well as to provide nutritious grazing for the animals. Controlling stocking rate, stock density, and lengths of grazing and recovery periods can optimize individual animal

Optimal Management of Optimal Foragers

1981
Management models should reflect the reality that organisms will change their behavior in response to environmental changes. Based on the evidence that the harvesting behavior of many animals approximates an optimal behavior, it is shown here how this result may be used in a model of predator-prey dynamics. Using this model it is shown that equilibrium
