The effect of type of shade on physiology, behaviour and performance of grazing steers
Research has addressed the issue of type of shade mainly on feedlots and high-producing dairy farms, but more studies are needed on the impact of shade on grazing beef cattle in a low-to-medium plane of nutrition. A 63-day grazing study using 24 British steers (268±4 kg) was undertaken in Uruguay (3...
