Forage Allowance as a Target of Grazing Management: Implications on Grazing Time and Forage Searching [PDF]
Rangeland Ecology and Management, 2012 This work aimed to evaluate the following hypotheses: 1) the daily grazing time (GT) and 2) forage searching are more associated with the sward structure than with the levels of daily forage allowance (FA). To this end we proposed a model that was tested through an analysis of the sward structure, grazing time, and displacement in grazing by heifers on

Effect of Restricted Grazing Time on the Foraging Behavior and Movement of Tan Sheep Grazed on Desert Steppe [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2013 To investigate the effect of restricted grazing time on behavior of Tan sheep on desert steppe, forty 4-months old male Tan sheep with an original body weight (BW) of 15.62±0.33 kg were randomly allocated to 4 grazing groups which corresponded to 4 ...

A real-time algorithm for acoustic monitoring of ingestive behavior of grazing cattle [PDF]
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2016 A novel algorithm for monitoring the livestock grazing behavior is proposed.The three basic grazing events are detected and classified using acoustic signals.The algorithm shows robustness to different operational conditions.It has linear computational complexity and works fully automatically in real-time.

Daily grazing time as a risk factor for alterations at the hock joint integument in dairy cows
Animal, 2013 Structural changes lead to increasing sizes of dairy herds and a reduction in grazing use. Thus, cows spend more time in the barn and become more exposed to the barn environment.

The effects of group size on grazing time in sheep
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1993 Abstract Voluntary intake of herbage by grazing sheep ( Ovis aries L.) is the result of several interacting behaviours. In gregarious animals, such as sheep, the social environment may strongly influence some of the components of ingestive behaviour that control food intake.

Animals, 2023 This study investigated the relationship of the length of time spent grazing and ruminating with the performance parameters of spring-calved grazing dairy cows (n = 162) over the lactation period for three lactation seasons (n = 54 per season).

Timing and intensity of goose grazing: Implications for grass height and first harvest
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2023 Grazing birds like geese can have a big impact on agricultural land, potentially causing damage to crops. Their exploitation of agricultural land varies within and between seasons, and these temporal grazing patterns can be influenced by management.

Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2021 This research was carried out on Pennisetum clandestinum-based pastures to identify the effect of three (3) types of stocking methods with similar forage allowance (8.2 kg of dry matter for 100 kg of live weight) but differing by the occupation times of ...
