A study looked at how different levels of nitrogen fertilizer, stocking rates, and grazing methods affect the productivity of pastures grazed by young beef cattle. They found that higher levels of nitrogen led to more live-weight gain and higher energy and dry matter outputs. Rotational grazing and integrated grazing-conservation systems were more productive than set-stocking, especially at higher nitrogen levels. The highest yields of live-weight gain and energy were achieved with the integrated system. The number of animals grazing affected individual performance and herbage intake.
