Livestock grazing alters multiple ecosystem properties and services in salt marshes: a meta‐analysis
, 2017 1.The far-reaching impacts of livestock grazing in terrestrial grasslands are widely appreciated, but how livestock affect the structure and functions of sensitive coastal ecosystems has hitherto lacked synthesis.

Soil Properties and their Influence on Grassland Production under Low Input and Organic Farming Conditions [PDF]
, 2006 End of project reportThis project set out to identify soil properties that most influence grassland production under low mineral nitrogen input conditions. Sixteen farms were selected in Counties Limerick and Clare and the soil sampled. Soil physical and

Sensitivity of Winter-Active Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) to Different Grazing Regimes
Agronomy, 2018 Lucerne (alfalfa; Medicago sativa L.) is the key forage for grazing in dryland temperate regions around the world. While rotational grazing of lucerne is recommended, in southern Australia the intervals between grazing events are often chosen in an ...

Effects of Various Grazing Systems on Grazing and Subsequent Finishing Performance
Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports, 2016 A total of 240 mixed black yearling steers were used to compare grazing and subsequent finishing performance from pastures with ‘MaxQ’ tall fescue, a wheat-bermudagrass double-crop system, or a wheat-crabgrass double-crop system in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015.

The effect of different levels of spring grass supply and stocking rate on the performance and intake of cows in early lactation [PDF]
, 2008 End of project reportGrazed herbage can supply nutrients to dairy cows at a lower cost than alternative feeds (Shalloo et al., 2004). Therefore, the objective of pasture-based systems must be to maximize the proportion of grazed grass in the diet of the ...
