Produção estacional, índice de área foliar e interceptação luminosa de cultivares de alfafa sob pastejo Seasonal yield, leaf area index and light interception of alfalfa cultivars under grazing

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2004
A alfafa (Medicago sativa L.) pastejada pode promover redução de custos de alimentação de ruminantes, mas o desempenho agronômico de cultivares sob pastejo no Brasil ainda é pouco conhecido.

Evaluating mob stocking for beef cattle in a temperate grassland.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Mob stocking is a type of livestock management method where high densities of animals are restricted to a small area of grassland for short periods of time (e.g., 12-24 hr.) before being moved to new forage. Use of mob stocking has generated considerable

Fluxo de biomassa aérea em azevém anual manejado sob duas intensidades e dois métodos de pastejo Aerial biomass fluxes in an Italian ryegrass managed under two grazing intensities and two stocking methods

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2007
O experimento foi conduzido com o objetivo de avaliar a influência de duas intensidades (moderada e baixa) e de dois métodos de pastejo (lotação contínua e rotacionada) no fluxo de biomassa aérea de azevém, medido por meio dos fluxos de crescimento ...

The impact of rotational grazing on biomass characteristics in boreal alluvial meadows [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture
Northern Boreal alluvial meadows are semi-natural habitats that require extensive management. They also have lower productivity as compared to cultivated grasslands. The subsidies for keeping meadow habitats open are currently activity-based, not results-

Grassland management and helminth control on cattle farms [PDF]

, 2017
Farmers manage their pastures and grazing animals primarily to ensure that swards provide adequate, quality nutrients to support animal performance, but it is also possible to provide useful levels of parasite control without compromising production.
