Forage Mixture Productivity and Botanical Composition in Pastures Grazed by Dairy Cattle
the plant diversity of natural grassland communities, some producers in the Northeast often plant complex Some producers believe that planting pastures to several forage mixtures of grasses and legumes (Tracy and Sanderson, species benefits sustainability of grazing systems. We conducted a grazing study to determine if forage species diversity in pastures affects 2000; Sanderson et al., 2001) b...
متن کاملInvestigating Vegetation of Mowed and Grazed Areas in Tamdere Village Alpine Pastures in Turkey
Activities of transhumance ongoing have been mostly carried out in alpine pastures for centuries in Turkey. These pastures used unconsciously have faced to the danger of extinction. In order to implement improvement plans in the mentioned areas, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of pastures should be determined. This study was conducted in the mowed and grazed pastures in alpine zone...
متن کاملLivestock grazing and trampling of birds’ nests: an experiment using artificial nests
The purpose of this study is to experimentally determine the differences between four grazing treatments on the trampling of nests. Additionally, we examine to what extent the trampling probability of nests is higher close to a source of fresh water. We compare the trampling of artificial nests in five different grazing treatments in an experimental design. We use buried clay pigeon targets as ...
متن کاملIntegrating Weed Management Practices to Enhance Productivity of Grazed Pastures
As animal grazing has intensified within Kentucky and the surrounding region problematic weeds such as tall ironweed, spiny amaranth, horsenettle, buttercup, common cocklebur, and thistles have been increasing. These weeds become prominent in pastures because they have spines, thorns, or are unpalatable to animals. Animals selectively graze and avoid these weedy plants and with intensive grazin...
متن کاملGrazed wet meadows are sink habitats for the southern dunlin (Calidris alpina schinzii) due to nest trampling by cattle
The effect of habitat management is commonly evaluated by measuring population growth, which does not distinguish changes in reproductive success from changes in survival or the effects of immigration or emigration. Management has rarely been evaluated considering complete life cycle of the target organisms, including also possible negative impacts from management. We evaluated the effectivenes...
