Operational strategies for optimizing grazing when using automatic milking systems in organic dairy production [PDF]
, 2013 Successful grazing when using AMS is possible without having to devote a great deal of time to organize and fetch cows every day. However, a careful strategy and good infrastructure, and observation of cow behaviour and pasture are necessary, and the ...

Land Degradation and Development, 2018 Nearly 90% of the 390 million ha of grasslands in northern China are degraded. ‘Grazing exclusion’ has been implemented as a nature‐based solution to rejuvenate degraded grasslands, but the effectiveness of the rejuvenation processes is uncertain.

The Management of Pastures for Grazing
Outlook on Agriculture, 1995 This article examines pasture management in moist temperate climates, and looks at the reasons why putting the findings into practice has been so difficult. Many factors affect the behaviour of the animal-pasture system, including whether continuous or rotational grazing is practised, the intensity of grazing, and seasonal differences in climate and ...

Food intake of grazing ruminants with emphasis on Mediterranean grazing lands [PDF]
CrossRef Listing Of Deleted DOIs, 1996 Mediterranean grazing lands provide a complex fodder resource. Determination of ruminants food intake is laborious because of many interactions between plants, animals and environmental factors.The various techniques used for estimating intake are reviewed, they all have a relatively low precision. Even for the estimate based on the daily faecal output

Seafloor Characterization from Spatial Variation of Multibeam Backscatter vs. Best Estimated Grazing Angle [PDF]
, 2002 Backscatter vs. grazing angle, which can be extracted from multibeam backscatter data, depends on characteristics of the multibeam system and the angular responses of backscatter that are characteristic of different seafloor properties, such as sediment ...

Continuous grazing in comparison to cutting management on an organic meadow in the eastern Alps [PDF]
, 2010 Continuous grazing is an appropriate pasture system for dairy cows in low input milk production systems like organic farming. Grazing increases for economic reasons and is also caused by regulations in organic farming.

Sward and milk production response to early turnout of dairy cows to pasture in Finland [PDF]
, 2003 The timing of turnout is an important factor affecting the grazing management of dairy cows. However, its consequences are not well known in the short grazing season of northern Europe.
