Rangeland suitability for grazing sheep, goats and wildlife in rangeland of Lar Absar in Mazandaran
Background and objectives: Rangeland suitability for livestock grazing is assessed by scoring criteria for vegetation, water resources and soil erosion. In this study, the suitability of Lar Absar rangeland in Mazandaran province for grazing domestic animals and herbivorous wildlife grazing was investigated. Many researchers have examined pasture suitability for grazing cattle, sheep, goats, an...
متن کاملAcute-onset high-morbidity primary photosensitisation in sheep associated with consumption of the Casbah and Mauro cultivars of the pasture legume Biserrula
BACKGROUND Primary photosensitisation (PS) subsequent to ingestion of the pasture legume Biserrula pelecinus L. (biserrula) has recently been confirmed in grazing livestock. Given the potential utility of this pasture species in challenging climates, a grazing trial was undertaken to examine if both varieties 'Casbah' and 'Mauro' were able to cause photosensitisation in livestock, and if this c...
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 کاملGrazing impact on vegetation cover and some soil factors (Case study: Houz-e-Soltan Lake, Qom)
Grazing effect on vegetation cover and soil factors in natural environments is inevitable. The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of grazing on soil factors and distribution of plant species in grazed and non-grazed areas in rangelands of western parts of Hoz-e-Soltan Lake, Qom. Systematic-randomized sampling method was used alongside of 4 transects. Adjacent to the transects...
متن کاملThe effect of grazing management on livestock exposure to parasites via the faecal-oral route.
In grazing systems, heterogeneous distributions of forage resources and faeces result in localised accumulations of nutrients and parasites (both macroparasites and microparasites), creating trade-offs between the costs of exposure to infestation or infection and the benefits of nutrient intake. Each contact between livestock and faeces in the environment is a potential parasite/pathogen transm...
