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]

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.

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

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.

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

Tobosa Tiller Defoliation Patterns under Rotational and Continuous Stocking [PDF]

Journal of Range Management, 1993
Continuous low animal density grazing of tobosa [Hilaria mutica (Buckl.) Benth.] in the northern Chihuahuan desert results in nonuniform forage utilization. Stocking smaller tobosa rangeland paddocks with high numbers of cattle for short periods of time may facilitate more uniform forage utilization.

Herbage accumulation and grazing losses on Mulato grass subjected to strategies of rotational stocking management

Scientia Agricola, 2013
Grazing management strategies affect not only herbage accumulation but also the efficiency of grazing. This study aimed to evaluate herbage accumulation (leaf, stem and dead material), grazing efficiency and losses of mulato grass (a Brachiaria ...

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.

Application of the AgS (Agricultural Crop Simulator) Model to Simulate the Biomass Production of Marandu Palisadegrass Managed Under Rotational Stocking with Cattle [PDF]

Grasses
The use of plant growth simulation models, such as the Agricultural Crop Simulator (AgS), can support planning and management decisions in pasture-based animal production systems.

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 ...
