Rotational Stocking with Virtual Fences: Effects on Grassland Diet Digestibility, Livestock Performance and Stress Levels of Heifers

XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023
Virtual fencing is an innovative technology for simplified, less laborious dynamic grazing management and remote animal monitoring. The effect of this novel technology on animal welfare is still a matter of debate. Previous research suggests no differences in stress experience responses of cattle between the two fencing systems on continuously stocked ...

The Economics of Rotational Grazing in the Gulf Coast Region: Costs, Returns, and Labor Considerations [PDF]

, 2017
Labor and profitability associated with continuous grazing at three stocking rates and rotational grazing at a high stocking rate are compared. Profits are lowest for low stocking rate continuous grazing and high stocking rate rotational grazing. Labor

Herbage intake by cattle in kikuyugrass pastures under intermittent stocking method

Revista Ciência Agronômica, 2019
Two complementary experiments were conducted to investigate the relationships between the canopy structure of Pennisetum clandestinum (kikuyugrass) pastures created by intermittent stocking strategies and daily herbage intake by cattle.

Dairy Heifer and Bermudagrass Pasture Responses to Rotational and Continuous Stocking

Journal of Dairy Science, 1994
During 1990 and 1991, pastures of 'Callie' bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] located near Gainesville, FL (29 degrees 60' N latitude) were used to determine the effects of three grazing methods on performance of 250-kg Holstein heifers (Bos taurus) and forage nutritive value and botanical composition.
