Cattle Grazing and Behavior on a Forested Range [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1982 Environmental and topographic parameters on a mountainous forested range were analyzed to establish causes of cattle behavioral responses. Distinct home range groups of cattle were identified through examination of quality and patterns of forage use, cattle distribution, herd social structure, and cattle activities.

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2021 Sward height is strongly related to the daily dry matter intake of grazing dairy cows, which consequently determines animal performance. Despite that, few studies have explored the potential to increase milk production by managing post-grazing sward ...

Agronomy, 2019 Livestock site use intensity can vary widely across a grazing area due to several factors such as topography and distance from sheds and water sources. However, an accurate approximation of animal site use should be assessed for each part of the grazing ...

Behavioral Factors in Rotational Grazing Systems [PDF]
Rangelands, 2009 Many in the range profession are perplexed by the apparent discrepancy between experimental studies suggesting that rotational grazing carries no advantage over continuous grazing1 and the observations of ranchers and range mana gers who have personally seen benefi ts for livestock pro duction and plant communities by shifting to a rotational system.2 ...

Assessing Herbivore Foraging Behavior with GPS Collars in a Semiarid Grassland
Sensors, 2013 Advances in global positioning system (GPS) technology have dramatically enhanced the ability to track and study distributions of free-ranging livestock. Understanding factors controlling the distribution of free-ranging livestock requires the ability to

Sheep Grazing Behavior as Affected by Supplementation [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1990 Behavioral characteristics of supplemented (S; 23% crude protein, 3.41 mcal DE/kg) and nonsupplemented (N) ewes grazing native New Mexico rangeland were monitored from December 1983 to August 1984. Four marked ewes were observed per treatment group.

On the Search for Grazing Personalities: From Individual to Collective Behaviors [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020 While grazing lands can offer a diverse range of forages, individuals within herds prefer to graze some habitats and not others. They can have consistent differences in grazing patterns and occupy specific spatial domains, whilst developing tactics and strategies for foraging that are specific to their grazing personalities.
