Scientific Evidence and Common Perceptions of Factors Affecting Sugar Content in Pasture Grass: Is There a Link With Pre‐existing Horse‐Related Experience? [PDF]

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Background Several equine conditions are associated with and exacerbated by increased high‐sugar grass intake. Knowing how climatic and biotic factors affect sugar content in grasses is important for decision‐making by those involved in the management of

Metabolic profile of female lambs on annual ryegrass pasture managed under different grazing intensities and methods [PDF]

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2020
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of grazing methods and intensities on the metabolic profile of lambs grazing ryegrass. This study was performed in Eldorado do Sul (RS).

Validating a Simple Mechanistic Model That Describes Weather Impact on Pasture Growth

Plants, 2021
Mathematical models have many uses. When input data is limited, simple models are required. This occurs in pasture agriculture when managers typically only have access to temperature and rainfall values.

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 ...

Phosphorus pools in soils under rotational and continuous grazed pastures

Agrosystems, Geosciences & Environment, 2020
Phosphorus loss from intensively grazed pastures is an ongoing concern in agricultural watersheds. We investigated P pools in fields managed as continuous (stocking rate of 3.55 animal unit [AU] ha–1) and rotational (stocking rate of 2.56 AU ha–1) cattle

Low-Intensity, High-Frequency Grazing Strategy Increases Herbage Production and Beef Cattle Performance on Sorghum Pastures

Animals, 2021
We assessed the effects of high-intensity and low-frequency (HILF) vs. low-intensity and high-frequency (LIHF) grazing on herbage production and performance of beef cattle grazing sorghum pastures.

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 ...
