A comparison of two rotational stocking strategies on the foraging behaviour and herbage intake by grazing sheep [PDF]
Animal, 2020 An understanding of the processes involved in grazing behaviour is a prerequisite for the design of efficient grassland management systems. The purpose of managing the grazing process is to identify sward structures that can maximize animal forage daily ...

Simulation by cutting of stocking rate and rotational and continuous management [PDF]
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 1983 Abstract Ryegrass ( Lolium perenne )‐white clover ( Trifolium repense )dominant pasture was harvested weekly by cutting to meet annual herbage dry matter (DM) requirements of 15 (8400 kg DM), 20 (11 200 kg DM), and 25 (14 000 kg DM ...

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 ScienceBackground 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

Mob grazing: A nature-based solution for British farms producing pasture-fed livestock
Nature-Based Solutions, 2023 Mob grazing is a nature-based solution to boost sustainable livestock productivity by optimising pasture management. It is already used widely in North America, and is now also receiving increased attention in the United Kingdom.

Stock selection, style rotation, and risk [PDF]
Journal of Empirical Finance, 2002 Using US data from June 1984 to July 1999, we show that the impact of firm-specificcharacteristics like size and book-to-price on future excess stock returns varies considerably over time. The impact can be either positive or negative at different times. This time variation is partially predictable.

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.
