Cell grazing boosts soil health and pasture production, reducing water contamination.
Grazing systems impact soil and pasture production. Cell grazing increases soil organic carbon and nitrogen levels, reduces runoff nutrient concentrations, and improves water quality. The rest periods in cell grazing help soil recovery, increase herbage mass, and productivity. Smaller paddocks in cell grazing lead to even animal distribution, less trampling, and reduced soil compaction compared to continuous grazing. Continuous grazing causes uneven trampling, compaction, and degradation of soil.
