Feeding Strategies to Mitigate Enteric Methane Emission from Ruminants in Grassland Systems

Animals, 2022
Ruminants produce approximately 30% of total anthropogenic methane emissions globally. The objective of this manuscript was to review nutritional enteric methane abatement practices for ruminants that are applicable under grazing conditions.

Impacts of Rotational Grazing on Soil Carbon in Native Grass-Based Pastures in Southern Australia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Rotational grazing management strategies have been promoted as a way to improve the sustainability of native grass-based pasture systems. From disturbance ecology theory, rotational grazing relative to continuous grazing can increase pasture productivity

A comparison of two rotational stocking strategies on the foraging behaviour and herbage intake by grazing sheep

Animal, 2020
An understanding of the processes involved in grazing behaviour is a prerequisite for the design of efficient grassland management systems. The purpose of managing the grazing process is to identify sward structures that can maximize animal forage daily ...

Grazing Management Concepts and Practices

EDIS, 2018
Grazing management can be defined as the manipulation of livestock grazing to accomplish a desired result. The desired result depends upon the enterprise, but for most producers economic goals are of primary importance.

The Effect of Frequency of Fresh Pasture Allocation on Pasture Utilisation and the Performance of High Yielding Dairy Cows

Animals, 2020
Pasture allocation frequency (PAF) can influence pasture availability and grazing behaviour, which subsequently may impact on animal performance. Limited research to-date has investigated grazing management methods to improve the performance of high ...

Plant Community and Soil Properties Regulate Space-Scale Dependence of Species Diversity under Grazing Exclusion and Rest Grazing in the Qilian Mountains of China

Agriculture, 2023
Grazing exclusion (GE) and rest grazing (RG) are important management systems for the restoration of degraded grassland ecosystems. In order to evaluate the effects and mechanisms of different grazing management systems on the scale dependency of species

Sensitivity of Winter-Active Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) to Different Grazing Regimes

Agronomy, 2018
Lucerne (alfalfa; Medicago sativa L.) is the key forage for grazing in dryland temperate regions around the world. While rotational grazing of lucerne is recommended, in southern Australia the intervals between grazing events are often chosen in an ...

Effect of Grazing Exclusion and Rotational Grazing on Soil Aggregate Stability in Typical Grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Soil aggregate is extremely important for soil health and sustainable land management. Overgrazing has caused serious degeneration of grassland in the past decades and how to restore the degraded soil through grazing management is urgently needed.

Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]

, 2015
Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

Short-term grazing changed temporal productivity stability of alpine grassland on Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau via response species richness and functional groups asynchrony

Ecological Indicators, 2023
The stability of grassland is pivotal in maintaining the grassland functioning and services. However, the knowledge about the consequences of grazing on stability of grassland productivity is limited.
