The co-grazing of cattle and sheep under rotational and continuous grazing

Comparisons of Cattle Grazing and Sheep Grazing

Controversy has surrounded the possible differences in pasture production which result from grazing by cattle or sheep. Experiments conducted over the 1972-76 period show that pasture production under grazing by sheep is greater than under grazing by cattle under similar intensive managements. A change from sheep grazing to cattle grazing can cause a rapid deterioration in pasture production, w...

Impact of grazing management on cattle and sheep parasites

A Review: Comparison between Grazing Behavior of Cattle and Sheep

The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of cattle and sheep grazing and expression of behavioral differences between cattle and sheep is because, to thereby allow grazing management strategies amid animal feed. Grazing circumstances, the daily consumption and duration is grazing, it can result from consumption of feed bite mass (mass and carved teeth) and tooth cutting (bite rate)...

Some 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...

Combination effect of grazing intensity and livestock type (sheep, cattle and integrated grazing) on physical and chemical properties of soil (Case study: woody rangelands of Savadkouh city, Mazandaran)

Intense grazing of rangeland is one of the most important factors affecting rangeland degradation, which causes soil compaction, increased runoff, weakening and degradation of vegetation, and changes in rangeland species composition, and ultimately affects forage and livestock production. The present study was conducted to investigate the different intensities of cattle and sheep grazing and in...
