A comparison of two rotational stocking strategies on the foraging behaviour and herbage intake by grazing sheep

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 ...

Vegetation Response to Increasing Stocking Rate under Rotational Stocking [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1997
This 10-year study was designed to evaluate vegetation response to increasing stocking rates under rotational stocking (3 days graze, 51 days rest) and long-term rest. The 4 stocking rate treatments ranged from the recommended rate for moderate continuous grazing to 2.7 times the recommended rate. Common curly-mesquite [Hilaria belangeri (Steud.) Nash]

Animal and pasture responses in contrasting temperate pasture-based cattle management systems: set-stocking versus cell grazing

Animal
Grasslands cover a significant portion of the Earth’s land and offer many benefits. In the UK, they constitute the largest agricultural area and support livestock production.

Beef cattle performance in response to Ipyporã and Marandu brachiariagrass cultivars under rotational stocking management

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2018
The objective of this two-year study was to evaluate live weight gain per animal and per area and their relationships with the characteristics of BRS Ipyporã (Brachiaria ruziziensis × Brachiaria brizantha) and Marandu (Brachiaria brizantha) pastures.

Effects of stocking rate on grazing behavior, nitrogen and energy metabolism, and greenhouse gas emissions of Simmental cattle in saline meadow [PDF]

Animal Nutrition
A rational stocking rate balances grassland ecosystems and improves livestock productivity. This study examined how stocking rates affect Simmental cattle in saline meadow through analyses of grazing behavior, nitrogen (N) and energy metabolism, and ...

Forage mass and canopy structure of Zuri and Quênia guineagrasses pasture under rotational stocking

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2021
This work evaluated the productive and structural characteristics of the BRS Zuri and BRS Quênia cultivars under rotational stocking management. The evaluations were divided into five periods according to rainfall regime (high, medium, and low rainfall ...

Using an observer rating method to assess the effects of rotational stocking method on beef cattle temperament over time

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2016
The objectives of this study were to propose behavioral-based definitions for the adjectives used in an observer rating method, and to use this approach to characterize temperament over time in cattle kept under rotational stocking method.

Rotational stocking and production of Italian ryegrass on Argentinean rangelands [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 2000
The decreased carrying capacity of Argentinian Flooding Pampa rangelands through the reduction of density of C3 grasses may be partially attributed to continuous stocking. The objective of this study was to evaluated the effectiveness of rotational vs.

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 ...
