Effect of sward height and sheep breed on sward composition during summer grazing period [PDF]
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1995 The sward height could determine the intake of the herbivores and, at the same time, to affect to sward composition (Morris et al., 1994). If the foraging strategies is different among species could be also different among breeds of sheep (Milne, 1991).

Effect of Sward Height on Rumen Degradation in Merino Grazing Sheep [PDF]
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Production (1972), 1993 It is now well established that the height of the sward grazed by sheep has a large effect on their performance (Hodgson, Mackie and Parker, 1986). However, there is a scarce of information about the rumen fermentation in sheep grazing at different sward heights.

Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2012 This study evaluated the influence of Tanzania-grass sward height (30, 50, 70 and 90 cm) on the morphological characteristics of the canopy, grazing behavior and forage intake by adult Anglo Nubian female goats.

Mapping and Monitoring of Biomass and Grazing in Pasture with an Unmanned Aerial System
Remote Sensing, 2019 The tools available to farmers to manage grazed pastures and adjust forage demand to grass growth are generally rather static. Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) are interesting versatile tools that can provide relevant 3D information, such as sward height ...

Influence of sward height on diet selection by horses
Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 2005 Abstract Foraging herbivores are often faced with spatial and temporal heterogeneity within the vegetation they have available to graze and therefore have to make decisions where and when to graze. The study reported in this paper investigated the influence of sward height on diet selection by horses grazing perennial rye-grass swards.

Clipping management and its effect on the composition and height of low-input turf
Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2013 The effect of mulching and moving management on the height and the composition of low-input turf was studied in Vatin research station of fodder crops regularly in May, during years 2007–2012.
