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

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

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 intake and optimize grazing time. Our aim was...
