4%Paddock Rotational Grazing: Aboveground Bio- mass Dynamics, Forage Production, and Harvest Efficiency
Research was initiated at the Texas Experimental Ranch in 1981 to quantify the effects of 2 stocking densities, equivalent to 14 and 42-paddock rotational grazing (RG) treatments, on aboveground biomass dynamics, aboveground net primary production (ANPP), and harvest efficiency of forage. Baseline data were collected in 1981 from 3 adjacent 30-ha paddocks in a lepaddock, cell designed RG treatm...
متن کامل14~s. 42-Paddock Rotational Grazing: Forage Quality
Research was initiated at the Texas Experimental Ranch by 1981 to quantify the effects of 2 livestock densities on forage quality in a rotational grazing (RG) treatment. Livestock densities evabmted were equivalent to 14 and 42-paddock RG treatments. Baseline data were collected in 1981 from 3 adjacent 30-ha paddocks in a 465_ha, M-paddock, ceil designed RG treatment stocked at a rate of 3.6 ha...
متن کاملBeef cattle performance and forage characteristics of continuous, 6-paddock, and 11-paddock grazing systems.
Heifer performance, diet composition, and forage composition were compared during rotational and continuous grazing of mixed pasture (alfalfa, tall fescue, orchardgrass). One hundred eighteen yearling heifers were used to compare the three grazing systems during 2 yr. Treatments included continuous (CONT), 6-paddock rotational (6-PADD), and 11-paddock rotational grazing (11-PADD). Rotational pa...
متن کاملNutrient intake of cattle on rotational and continuous graz- ing treatments
Many benefits have been obtained from rotational grazing, including management flexibility and livestock distribution, but long-term positive effects on plant and animal production have been inconsistent. The purpose of this case study was to investigate nutrient intake of animals in 2 production scale graxing treatments. The study site was the Texas Experimental Ranch located in Throckmorton C...

loaded and a portion of the nitrate is absorbed by the blood stream as nitrate and nitrite. Some of the nitrate Nitrate contained in forage may pose performance and health risks that is absorbed recycles back to the rumen through to ruminants. With timely and accurate assessment of forage nitrate levels, steps to reduce the risks of excessive nitrate intake by livestock saliva thereby adding ag...
