Simulating rotational grazing management

Environment International, 2001
Dairy systems predominantly based on rotational grazing are notoriously hard to manage. In order to ensure profitability, this type of production requires quite good organisation, planning, and operating capability on the part of the farmer. A simulation-based decision support system, called SEPATOU, has been developed for this purpose.

Climate Effects on Tallgrass Prairie Responses to Continuous and Rotational Grazing

Agronomy, 2019
Cattle grazing is an important economic activity in the tallgrass prairie systems in the Great Plains of the United States. Tallgrass prairie may respond differently to grazing management (e.g., high and low grazing intensity) under variable climate ...

Thermal transfer simulation regarding the rotational moulding of polyamide 11 [PDF]

, 2013
Simulation of thermal phenomena in rotational moulding is very important to follow the evolution of the temperature in various zones of this process. It was a question of modelling heat gradients developing in rota-tional moulding part.

Some Effects of a Rotational Grazing Treatment on Cattle Grazing Behavior [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1989
Research was conducted on the effects of rotational grazing (RG) compared to continuous grazing (CG) on the behavior of cattle grazing on rangelands. Different livestock dent distance walked (km/day), and individual animal space (m2/animrl) in grazing subherds.

Pika burrow and zokor mound density and their relationship with grazing management and sheep production in alpine meadow

Ecosphere, 2020
Plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) and plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) occur naturally in the alpine meadow of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). Their feeding and burrowing activities affect plant composition and soil properties (e.g., soil carbon ...

Plant diversity and botanical composition in an Atlantic heather-gorse dominated understory after horse grazing suspension: Comparison of a continuous and rotational management

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Floristic diversity changes substantially depending on the type of land management. We evaluated the impact of a continuous (CG) and rotational (RG) grazing system on the dynamics of plant diversity and community composition in a heather-gorse understory

The Effects of Grazing Systems on Plant Communities in Steppe Lands—A Case Study from Mongolia’s Pastoralists and Inner Mongolian Settlement Areas

Land, 2018
This study examines the effects of different grazing systems in two neighboring regions with similar biotic and abiotic factors, Nalan Soum in Mongolia and Naren Soum in Inner Mongolia, China. We employed the quadrat sampling method and remote sensing to

Effect of grazing management strategies on the yield and nutritional value of Marandu grass in the semiarid of Brazil

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2021
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of two grazing management strategies on structural, productive and nutritional parameters of Marandu grass (Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu).

How does the fragmentation of pasture affect grassland ecology?——Evidence from typical pastoral areas in China

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Land fragmentation has a negative impact on agricultural production and human life and is an important indicator to measure pasture ecology. This study aims to reveal the relationship between the fragmentation of pasture and pasture ecology in typical ...

Grasshopper populations respond similarly to multiple moderate intensity livestock grazing treatments [PDF]

Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2020
Livestock grazing frequently affects grasshopper populations, but no prior studies have simultaneously examined a wide range of moderate intensity livestock grazing treatments in the Northern Great Plains.
