Intensive rotational grazing in the dairy industry
The Bovine Practitioner, 1994Subjects 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.

Fast rotational intensive grazing
2017The increased demand for meat is driven by a rising human population, and a dramatic growth in meat consumption per person. Farmers and scientists have sought to curb the adverse environmental impacts of livestock by increasing production efficiency, and reducing its contribution to human consumption.

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.

Grazing intensity and vegetation change
BSAP Occasional Publication, 1994AbstractChange 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 ...

Grassland Community Composition Response to Grazing Intensity Under Different Grazing Regimes
Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2018Abstract Grazing plays a key role in many ecosystems worldwide and can affect the structure and composition of terrestrial plant communities. Nonetheless, how grazing management, especially grazing regime (yearlong continuous and seasonal grazing), affects the relationship between grazing and vegetation on alpine grasslands has not been extensively ...

Estimation of grazing intensity along grazing gradients – the bias of nonlinearity
Journal of Arid Environments, 2010Distance 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 ...

Pollination services under different grazing intensities
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2004A study was conducted to investigate whether a lack of pollinators, pollination and therefore, a shortage of fruit set of perennial plants is more likely to occur in overgrazed land than farmland without grazing pressure, as this could have considerable effects on the reproduction of certain plant species.

Pollinator behavioural responses to grazing intensity
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2006It 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.

Intensive rotational grazing for dairy cattle feeding
American Journal of Alternative Agriculture, 1995AbstractA 2-year study compared milk production and profitability for confinement feeding versus rotational grazing. Guernsey and Guernsey x Holstein cows grazed perennial grass pastures from mid-May to October or were fed in confinement. Averaged over both years, confined cows produced 7% more milk; their milk was similar in fat concentration to that ...
