EARLY SPRING GRAZING [1 record]

Record 1 1999-05-24

English

Subject field(s)
  • Animal Feed (Agric.)
  • Animal Husbandry
  • Forage Crops
CONT

For early-spring grazing. ... Young, vigorous stands of alfalfa or alfalfa-grass mixtures in which the alfalfa has not been injured or weakened by bacterial wilt disease may be grazed evenly and heavily for about a week in early spring if the ground is firm. Excellent pasturage is provided by this treatment; it also delays the time of cutting and results, in a finer and better quality of hay.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Alimentation des animaux (Agric.)
  • Élevage des animaux
  • Culture des plantes fourragères
CONT

(Le déprimage est une méthode) d'exploitation fourragère qui consiste à laisser les animaux pâturer des graminées dès le début du printemps, par suite de l'insuffisance des réserves fourragères en fin d'hiver. [...] Le déprimage peut avoir l'avantage d'augmenter assez notablement la digestibilité du cycle ultérieur de la graminée, par rapport à un cycle normal. Il peut, cependant, diminuer le rendement global annuel en matière sèche.
