Tropical Forage Grasses Intercropped Under Lenient Grazing Intensities Promote Greater Soil Cover

Soil Fertility of Tropical Intensively Managed Forage System for Grazing Cattle in Brazil

Relationships Among Forage and Litter Production in Three Grazing Intensities in Nodooshan Rangeland (Yazd, Iran)

Grazing management plays an important role in the continuous and economicutilization of pastures. Proper grazing management is a main factor for the accumulation ofplant litter which reduces soil erosion and increase the soil permeability to keep moremoisture in the soil. In current study, the effect of three different grazing intensities (low,moderate and high) along with the grazing gradient ...

Forage & Grazing Lands

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...

Effects of Different Intensities of Grazing on Depth and Quantity of Roots of Grasses

Grazing impacts on the spatial distribution of soil microbial biomass around tussock grasses in a tropical grassland

The role of grass tussocks in supporting soil microbial biomass (SMB) in grazed ecosystems is not fully understood, nor is the spatial distribution of SMB in response to different grass species. We undertook a study in 1997 that examined ®ne-scale distributions of SMB in grazed experimental paddocks located in the eucalypt woodlands of northern Queensland, Australia. Levels of SMB were determin...
