Optimizing Grazing Management for Maximum Animal Performance and Forage Growth.
Grazing management options play a crucial role in meeting research goals and helping forage-based businesses. By understanding how stocking rate, forage mass, and forage allowance affect animal performance, researchers can make informed decisions on managing grazing experiments. Different stocking methods, like put-and-take or fixed stocking rates, can impact animal performance and grazing pressure differently. The choice between continuous or rotational stocking methods depends on industry practices and research needs. Overall, the relationship between animal performance and grazing management strategies can help determine the best approach for achieving research objectives and improving forage-based enterprises.
