Timothy and timothy mixtures as a pasture crop [PDF]

, 2006
Despite the relatively low tolerance against grazing and peaked DM production, timothy can be used effiently for grazing, especially in mixtures with meadow fescue. The growth processes lead to specific management options, e.g.

Global meta-analysis reveals different grazing management strategies change greenhouse gas emissions and global warming potential in grasslands

Geography and Sustainability
Grazing management significantly influences greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the global warming potential (GWP) in grasslands. Yet, a limited understanding of the impact of grazing and grazing exclusion on GHG emissions and GWP in grasslands hinders ...

Herbage accumulation and grazing losses on Mulato grass subjected to strategies of rotational stocking management

Scientia Agricola, 2013
Grazing management strategies affect not only herbage accumulation but also the efficiency of grazing. This study aimed to evaluate herbage accumulation (leaf, stem and dead material), grazing efficiency and losses of mulato grass (a Brachiaria ...

Internal parasite management in grazing livestock [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2012
It is a challenging task to control internal parasites in grazing livestock even by applying multi label and multi directional approach. It is impossible to draw general recommendations to control parasitic diseases due to varied geo-climatic conditions and methods adopted for rearing the livestock in the country like India.

Chalk streams and grazing mute swans [PDF]

, 2014
The evidence shows that swan grazing can reduce plant abundance, prevent flowering, reduce water depth and reduce fishery value. However, these effects seem to be limited to a small number of sites on larger chalk streams.
