Pollinator behavioural responses to grazing intensity

Biodiversity and Conservation, 2006
It has been suggested that intensive grazing management, aimed at maintaining plant diversity, might not be the optimal choice to preserve diversity of insects in semi-natural pastures. In the present study the behaviour of flower visiting insects was studied in two semi-natural pastures in central Sweden.

The Feeding Behaviour of Grazing African Ungulates

Behaviour, 1983
The second to second organization of the foraging behaviour of eleven species of African ungulates is described, with particular emphasis on locomotion while foraging and on the time spent feeding. It was predicted that foraging behaviour should change with the species' body size and stomach specialization and, within a species, with the seasonal or ...

Effects of space allowance on the grazing behaviour and spacing of sheep

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2000
In each of two experiments, four groups of 10 female Scottish Blackface sheep grazed for 2 weeks at each of four space allowances, according to a Greco-Latin Square design. Space allowances were 80, 100, 133 or 200m(2) per head in Experiment 1 and 50, 67, 100 or 200m(2) per head in Experiment 2.

GRASSLAND MANAGEMENT WITH EMPHASIS ON GRAZING BEHAVIOUR

, 2007
Investigations into the behavioural responses by ruminants to differences in their grazing environment have led to improved understanding of the grazing process. This has proved useful in developing management strategies which are not only sympathetic to

Parasitological Significance of Bovine Grazing Behaviour

Nature, 1955
THE bovine habit of not eating grass growing in the vicinity of bovine faeces has been the subject of occasional speculative writing, which has discussed the supposed value of such behaviour in protecting the animal from parasitism. A recent study of the free-living stages of the cattle lungworm1 suggested that, in order to ingest the larvae, the ...

Removing concentrate supply in grazing goats: effects on milk production and grazing behaviour

2022
Grazing high-quality pastures and reducing concentrate supply can increase feed and protein self-sufficiency in dairy goat production systems. How dairy goats are able to adapt to the total removing of concentrate supplementation at grazing is unknown. A grazing trial was carried out in spring 2021 to compare 3 concentrate supplementation levels: 0.72,
