NUTRIENT INTAKE OF CATTLE ON ROTATIONAL AND CONTINUOUS GRAZING TREATMENTS

abstract

• Treatments were a 465-ha, 16-paddock, one-herd, cell designed rotational grazing system (RG) stocked at a heavy rate (3.7 ha cow-1yr-1), and a 248-ha continuously grazed (CG) treatment stocked at a moderate rate (6.2 ha cow-1yr-1). The only difference caused by different livestock densities was a higher intake of forage crude protein in the simulated 42 paddock system. Nutrient intake of steers in the CG treatment was greater than those in the RG treatment. -from Authors
