Effect of Post-grazing Sward Height on Ingestive Behavior, Dry Matter Intake, and Milk Production of Holstein Dairy Cows

Frontiers in Animal Science, 2021
Sward height is strongly related to the daily dry matter intake of grazing dairy cows, which consequently determines animal performance. Despite that, few studies have explored the potential to increase milk production by managing post-grazing sward ...

Frequency Distribution of Sward Heights and Forage Species Composition in Different Integrated Crop–Livestock Systems

Grasses
Sward height is a practical indicator for defining management targets that reflect pasture structure. The complexity of integrated systems, including the coexistence of trees, crops, and livestock, can modify animal grazing distribution and microhabitat ...

The effect of plane of winter nutrition and sward height on the performance of steers grazing grass/white clover swards

Grass and Forage Science, 1996
AbstractAn experiment was carried out over 2 years to examine the interactions between two planes of winter nutrition and summer gracing at 5.5 and 7.5 cm compressed sward height on the performance of Limousin X Friesian steers grazing grass/white clover swards.

Relações planta-animal em ambiente pastoril heterogêneo: padrões de desfolhação e seleção de dietas Plant-animal relationships in pastoral heterogeneous environments: defoliation and selectivity patterns

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2009
Um experimento foi conduzido para avaliar o efeito das alturas de manejo do pasto (4, 8, 12 e 16 cm) no padrão de desfolhação de uma pastagem nativa e na seletividade de bezerras e ovelhas em testes de pastejo de 45 minutos.

The use of light-transparent acetate sheet to measure canopy height of marandu palisadegrass: the influence of development stage and sward height

Bioscience Journal, 2022
The use of light-transparent acetate sheet (LAS) may generate variations in the height measured in the sward. However, we compared the use or non-use of LAS to measure the average sward height of marandu palisadegrass (Urochloa brizantha syn.

Effect of grazing intensity and dung on herbage and soil nutrients

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2019
Dung deposited by grazing animals is a key driver affecting sward structure and nutrient cycling in pastures. We tested herbage and soil properties in three types of tall sward-height patches (> 10 cm): (i) patches with dung under intensive grazing ...

THE EFFECT OF ROTATIONAL GRAZING ON FLORISTIC COMPOSITION AND YIELD OF Ranunculo repentis – Alopecuretum pratensis HILLY GRASSLAND [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2004
In the years 2001 and 2002 the effect of the introduction of the whole year rotational grazing with different post-grazing target sward heights (4 cm in the treatment 1, and 7 cm in the treatment 2) on the yield and changes in floristic composition of ...

Interaction among fire and sward height increases leaf nitrogen per unit area of annual ryegrass in subtropical grasslands from southern Brazil [PDF]

Ciência Rural
: Fire is one of the main drivers of vegetation structure from terrestrial ecosystems and its effects on plants allocation resources and biomass are mediated by leaf functional traits. These attributes can provide useful information for future management
