Effects of Post-Grazing Sward Height and Early or Late Turnout Date to Pasture on the Performance of Dairy Cross-Bred Steers [PDF]
AnimalsEfficient grazing management is critical for optimising animal growth and carcass quality in dairy beef systems; however, the combined effects of turnout date to spring pasture and post-grazing sward height have not been well quantified.

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2021 Sward height is strongly related to the daily dry matter intake of grazing dairy cows, which consequently determines animal performance. Despite that, few studies have explored the potential to increase milk production by managing post-grazing sward ...

Direct and carryover effect of post-grazing sward height on total lactation dairy cow performance
Animal, 2013 Grazing pastures to low post-grazing sward heights (PGSH) is a strategy to maximise the quantity of grazed grass in the diet of dairy cows within temperate grass-based systems.

Dynamics of forage accumulation in Elephant grass subjected to rotational grazing intensities
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2013 We assessed the accumulation dynamics of forage and its components in Elephant grass cv. Napier (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) that were subjected to three post-grazing height treatments (30, 50, and 70 cm) from February through May 2009 (experiment one ...
