Wild Herbivore Grazing Enhances Insect Diversity over Livestock Grazing in an African Grassland System
Southern Africa's grassland biodiversity is threatened by habitat transformation such as commercial forestry. Ecological networks (ENs) have been instigated to alleviate the pressure of habitat transformation on local biodiversity. ENs are large scale webs of corridors and patches of natural vegetation criss-crossing production landscapes that can simulate conditions in protected areas (PAs). M...
متن کاملInteraction of Plant Species Diversity on Grazing Behavior and Performance of Livestock Grazing Temperate Region Pastures
The importance of plant species diversity on performance of livestock grazing temperate region pastures is summarized in this review. As livestock producers seek less capital-intensive production systems, emphasis is redirected toward low-input pasture systems that rely on complex species mixtures to produce forage. Increased plant species diversity has been linked to improvements in ecosystem ...
متن کاملExamination of gastrointestinal helminth in livestock grazing in grassland of Bangladesh.

After slaughtering of the tracer animals, their gastrointestinal tract examination revealed six species of nem...
متن کاملLivestock and Vegetation Responses to Stocking Rate and Grazing System
INTRODUCTION Vegetation and livestock responses from a 25 year (1982-2006) grazing system and stocking rate study in the northern mixed-grass prairie at the USDA-Agricultural Research Service, High Plains Grasslands Research Station near Cheyenne, Wyoming are presented here. This study was longest known grazing system X stocking rate study in North America and was one of the few studies to use ...
