Rotational grazing boosts cattle production on bermudagrass in southern USA.
The study looked at how different grazing methods affect cattle production on bermudagrass in the southern USA. They compared continuous grazing to rotational grazing and found that rotational grazing allowed for higher stocking rates, especially with low fertilization. Rotational grazing with more than 8 paddocks was more productive than continuous grazing. High fertilization levels benefited rotational grazing with many paddocks and fast rotation. The number of paddocks used in rotational grazing affected production efficiency. The study showed that grazing system and stocking rate interact to influence cattle production on bermudagrass.
