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

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 ...

Performance of young Nellore bulls on guineagrass pastures under rotational stocking in the Brazilian Cerrado

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2019
New highly productive guineagrass (Megathyrsus maximus syn. Panicum maximum) cultivars have been released in Brazil and grazing trials are necessary to evaluate their carrying capacity and forage quality.

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 ...

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.

Grazing criteria for perennial peanut (Arachis pintoi cv. Amarillo) consumed by sheep in rotational stocking

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2019
The objective of work was to study the productive profile of perennial peanut in a rotational stocking environment under different criteria. The treatments corresponded to pre-grazing height of 14 and 18cm or 95% of light interception (LI) distributed in
