Frequency distributions of sward height under sheep grazing

Grass and Forage Science, 2005
AbstractCattle and sheep can create and maintain a mixture of relatively tall and short patches in grass swards through selective grazing. In swards that are grazed by cattle this heterogeneous structure can result in the frequencies of height measurements having a skewed distribution that has variously been better described by the double‐normal ...

The effect of litter size and sward height on ewe and lamb performance

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, 2004
Abstract This study compared ewe and lamb performance in twin‐ and triplet‐bearing/rearing ewes offered varying sward heights from day 64 (P64) of pregnancy until weaning at day 87 (L87) of lactation. Ninety‐six twin‐ and 90 triplet‐bearing Romney ewes were randomly assigned on P64 to four replicated sward height ...

Spatial heterogeneity and other sources of variance in sward height as measured by the sonic and HFRO sward sticks

Grass and Forage Science, 1991
AbstractMeasurements of undisturbed sward surface height (sward height) were made using the HFRO and sonic sward sticks at 20 cm intervals along 100 m transects laid across paddocks grazed by either sheep, cattle or goats. Measurements of sward height were also made at 5 cm intervals along 10 m transects laid across the same paddocks using the HFRO ...
