Intensive rotational grazing in the dairy industry

The Bovine Practitioner, 1994
Subjects covered in this article are: interest in and use of pasture; grazing economics; pasture quality and nutrition (energy, protein, minerals and supplemental forage); and animal health concerns.

Estimation of grazing intensity along grazing gradients – the bias of nonlinearity

Journal of Arid Environments, 2010
Distance to grazing hotspots like watering points or farms is regularly used as proxy for grazing intensity in extended rangelands. In many studies the resulting patterns between distance and grazing dependent variables are nonlinear with strong changes in the vicinity of the centre, a distinct transition zone, and hardly any changes on remote sites ...

Intensive rotational grazing

The Bovine Practitioner, 1994
Intensive rotational grazing is an alternative feeding strategy for dairy cows. If forages and grazing animals are well managed, returns from intensive rotational grazing compare favorably to confinement- stored feeding systems.

Influence of Season of Grazing and Intensity of Grazing on Vegetative Composition and Yields

2023
Mixed prairie range sites vary in ability to produce for age for livestock consumption. One reason for the difference in variation is the degree of utilization of the ranges in past years. The purpose of the study was to determine variation in composition, cover and yields of grasses due to different intensities of grazing and season of use on two ...

Grazing intensity and vegetation change

BSAP Occasional Publication, 1994
AbstractChange in the semi-natural vegetation of the hills and uplands of the UK is a relatively slow process. Whilst exogenous influences, such as climate and air quality, can influence the rate of change, the principal means whereby more rapid change can occur is through the actions of man in managing such resources to meet a range of objectives ...

AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MERITS OF INTENSIVE ROTATIONAL GRAZING

Grass and Forage Science, 1964
An investigation into the merits of intensive rotational grazing or paddock grazing was started in 1960. The experiment covered 40 acres, half of which was divided into 20 single‐acre paddocks and the other half into 2 fields of 9 and 11 acres, respectively. Two groups of carefully paired cows were used to measure the output of milk per acre.

Response of lambs to continuous and rotational grazing at four grazing intensities on Midmar Italian ryegrass

Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1986
Reports the results of a study conducted to compare the effect of grazing procedure on the quantity and quality of the pasture as measured by the performance of weaned lambs grazing on Midmar Italian ryegrass; Irrigated Midmar Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) was grazed either continuously or rotationally at four grazing intensities by ...

Responses to Grazing Intensity on the Transvaal Highveld

Experimental Agriculture, 1966
SUMMARYThe productivity of climax and serai grassland in South Africa was compared at three stocking rates with steers. On climax grassland, over nine years, gains per head at one steer per morgen (= 2·12 acres = 0·86 hectare) were not significantly greater than at two steers per morgen.

The effect of grazing intensity on phosphorus spiralling in autotropic streams

Oecologia, 1983
The effect of grazing on primary productivity and phosphorus cycling in autotrophic streams was studied using the snail Goniobasis clavaeformes. Snails were added to each of three replicate laboratory stream channels, receiving once-through flow of groundwater, in densities of 2.1, 3.0, and 4.2 g ash free dry mass (AFDM)/m2.

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.
