Sward structure and nutritive value of Alexandergrass fertilized with nitrogen

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016
This experiment evaluated forage production, sward structure, stocking rate, weight gain per area and nutritive value of forage as grazed by beef heifers on Alexandergrass (Urochloa plantaginea (Link) Hitch) pasture fertilized with nitrogen (N): 0; 100 ...

Piata palisadegrass deferred in the fall: effects of initial height and nitrogen in the sward structure [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2012
The objective of this study was to evaluate the mass of the forage and of the morphological components, and the sward structure in Piata palisadegrass (Brachiaria brizantha cv. Piata) deferred in function of different initial heights and nitrogen levels.

Influence of agricultural management, sward structure and food resources on grassland field use by birds in lowland England. [PDF]

, 2005
Agricultural management of grassland in lowland Britain has changed fundamentally in the last 50 years, resulting in spatial and structural uniformity within the pastoral landscape.

Can Low-Cost Unmanned Aerial Systems Describe the Forage Quality Heterogeneity? Insight from a Timothy Pasture Case Study in Southern Belgium

Remote Sensing, 2020
Applied to grazing management, unmanned aerial systems (UASs) allow for the monitoring of vegetation at the level of each individual on the pasture while covering a significant area (>10 ha per flight).

A comparison of two rotational stocking strategies on the foraging behaviour and herbage intake by grazing sheep

Animal, 2020
An understanding of the processes involved in grazing behaviour is a prerequisite for the design of efficient grassland management systems. The purpose of managing the grazing process is to identify sward structures that can maximize animal forage daily ...

Sward Structure Effects on Light Interception in Rotationally-Grazed Orchardgrass (\u3cem\u3eDactylis glomerata\u3c/em\u3e L.) [PDF]

, 2020
Grazing managers need to know the relationship of sward height and mass to photosynthetic capacity. The aim of this study was to measure the interception of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and relate it to sward structure throughout the grazing

Animal performance and sward characteristics of Mombaça guineagrass pastures subjected to two grazing frequencies

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2020
The aim of this work was to compare grazing management practices of Mombaça guineagrass (Megathyrsus maximus syn. Panicum maximum cv. Mombaça) based on the sward incident light interception (LI) concept.
