Factors Influencing Grazing Behavior by Using the Consciousness-Context-Behavior Theory—A Case Study from Yanchi County, China

Land, 2021
Grazing behavior is a key factor that affects the sustainable development of the grassland social-ecological system. Grazing behavior is not only restricted by policies but also affected by the awareness of the herder of the grassland environment.

Some Effects of a Rotational Grazing Treatment on Cattle Grazing Behavior [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1989
Research was conducted on the effects of rotational grazing (RG) compared to continuous grazing (CG) on the behavior of cattle grazing on rangelands. Different livestock dent distance walked (km/day), and individual animal space (m2/animrl) in grazing subherds.

Relationship between Temperate Grass Sward Characteristics and the Grazing Behavior of Dairy Heifers

Agronomy, 2022
Sward architecture mediates ruminant grazing behavior in temperate grazing lands. Temperate grasses differ in their sward structure, which may influence the grazing behavior of cattle.

Grazing behavior and intake of goats rotationally grazing Tanzania-grass pasture with different post-grazing residues

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2016
This study aimed to evaluate intake and ingestive behavior of goats rotationally grazing Tanzania (Panicum maximum cv. Tanzânia 1) pastures with 2 levels of post-grazing residue. The experimental area consisted of 1.2 ha of Tanzania pasture divided into 12 paddocks (24 areas), managed under 2 post-grazing residues: low green (leaf + stem) herbage mass (

Beef heifers grazing behavior and herbage intake in natural grassland under rotational grazing

Ciência Rural, 2015
It was evaluated the effect of two rest intervals between grazing occupations in rotational grazing; 375 and 750 DD (degree-days); based on the cumulative thermal sum necessary for leaf expansion of native grasses of two functional groups over the ...

Harry Stobbs Memorial Lecture: Can grazing behavior support innovations in grassland management?

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2013
Grazing is a fundamental process affecting grassland ecosystem dynamics and functioning. Its behavioral components comprise how animals search for feed, and gather and process plant tissues in different spatio-temporal scales of the grazing process ...

Metabolic and Productive Response and Grazing Behavior of Lactating Dairy Cows Supplemented with High Moisture Maize or Cracked Wheat Grazing at Two Herbage Allowances in Spring. [PDF]

Animals (Basel), 2021
The aim was to determine the effect of the herbage allowance (HA) and supplement type (ST) on dry matter intake (DMI), milk production and composition, grazing behavior, rumen function, and blood metabolites of grazing dairy cows in the spring season ...

Influence of supplementation method on forage use and grazing behavior by beef cattle grazing bluestem range

Journal of Animal Science, 1991
Two 25-d trials (late summer and early winter) were conducted to determine the influence of supplementation method on forage use and grazing behavior. Fifteen ruminally and 12 esophageally fistulated steers (316 and 400 kg, respectively) were blocked by weight and assigned randomly to one of three treatments: 1) self-feeding supplement (via Calan gates)

Little Difference in Milk Fatty Acid and Terpene Composition Among Three Contrasting Dairy Breeds When Grazing a Biodiverse Mountain Pasture

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
In the mountains, autochthonous and robust breeds are often used to valorize biodiverse grasslands. Along with their lower nutrient requirements, compared to specialized dairy breeds, they are expected to be better adapted to complex environments and ...

Timing and Duration of Observation Periods of Foraging Behavior in Natural Grasslands

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
The goals of this study were to evaluate the length of time grazing which should be monitored over a 24-h period to predict the grazing behavior of beef heifers within a season and determine the patterns of foraging activity over 24 h.
