Some effects of a rotational grazing treatment on cattle preference for plant communities
Rotational grazing is commonly assumed to improve livestock distribution compared to continuous grazing, but little evidence supports this contention. Research was conducted on the effects of rotational grazing (RG) compared to continuous grazing (CC) on the preference of cattle for plant communities. Diffeant livestock densitiea in the RG treatments were created by varying the size of paddocka...
متن کاملSome effects of a rotational grazing treatment on cattle grazing behavior
Research was conducted on the effects of rotational grazing (RG) compared to continuous grazing (CG) on the behavior of cattle grazing on rangelands. Different livestock den&tics in the RG treatments were created by varying the size of paddocks in a 4651a, U-paddock, cell deaigntd RG treatment stocked at a rate of 3.6 ha/cow/yr. Paddock sizes of 30 and lo-ha were used to simulate RG with 14 (RG...
متن کاملSome Effects of a Rotational Grazing Treatment on Quan- tity and Quality of Available Forage and Amount of Ground Litter
A U-paddock, celldesigned, rotational grazing (RG) system was initiated in March 1M)l to evaluate the effects of RG on various vegetation response variables and cow/calf production. This 20-month study was initiated in January 1983 to contrast herbage dynamics in the RG treatment to those in 8 yearlong continuously grazed tmtment (MC). Rate of stoclring in the RG treatment was 3.7 ha/cow/year a...
متن کاملEffects of cattle grazing on small mammal communities in the Hulunber meadow steppe
Small mammals play important roles in many ecosystems, and understanding their response to disturbances such as cattle grazing is fundamental for developing sustainable land use strategies. However, how small mammals respond to cattle grazing remains controversial. A potential cause is that most of previous studies adopt rather simple experimental designs based solely on the presence/absence of...
