Subject field(s)
  • Animal Feed (Agric.)
CONT

In grazing trials in Florida in 1982 Pennisetum purpureum cv. N-70 was grazed by heifers at intensities resulting in 0.5-2.5 t residual leaf DM/ha after grazing and either continuously grazed or with grazing cycle lengths of 14, 28, 42 or 56 days, 2 days of continuous grazing being followed by a rest period specific for each cycle length.

CONT

Moving animals on fixed schedule (for example every 7 days) or following a set movement pattern for each grazing cycle regardless of the amount of forage in the paddocks reduces plant and animal production.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation des animaux (Agric.)
CONT

Auparavant, la transhumance étaient facilitée par des coûts d'énergie relativement bas mais l'augmentation des coûts de transport a eu pour effet de diminuer les mouvements d'animaux et de bouleverser le cycle traditionnel des pâturages saisonniers suivis de périodes de repos, pour ne plus avoir qu'un seul cycle de pâturage tout au long de l'année [...]

CONT

La complémentarité entre prairie sèche et prairie humide offre des perspectives intéressantes pour le prolongement du cycle de pâturage en été.
