"Grazing management" refers to the careful and strategic control of how animals like livestock or wildlife feed on grass or other vegetation. It involves decisions about when and where to allow animals to graze, as well as how long they should stay in a particular area. By managing grazing, people can ensure that the land remains healthy and productive for both the animals and the environment.
Full definition
We do this with
good grazing management as well as spreading 1 - 3 tons of compost per acre along with the needed amendments / nutrients to bring a balance of air, water and active microbiology.
In grassland species, diversity is also decreasing due to intensification
of grazing management and to high inputs of fertilizers.
Current levels of production, according to the researchers, can be boosted without increasing the use of external inputs or costs by
changing grazing management to regimes with higher forage allowance.
Poor
livestock grazing management, invasive species such as cheatgrass, transmission lines, energy development and subdivisions are all contributing to the loss of this vital resource.
As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I'm a bit familiar with «
holistic grazing management» as U.S. federal land management agencies went through a time in the 1980s and 90s when there was interest in the idea.
Consequently, soil water availability represents a much greater limitation to maximum carbon storage in global grasslands than
does grazing management.
Better Grassland, Herd Management Needed 1) Sustainable and climate -
resilient grazing management, with grazing being on par with the productivity of a particular area so that it does not become overgrazed.
We are currently developing
better grazing management, and other practices, to increase the Carbon sequestration potential of soils which are the bedrock of many of our clients» supply chains.
Thus, future studies are needed in this area to elucidate the effects
of grazing management and feeding systems.
The purpose of
the grazing management baseline report is to describe existing Bureau of Land Management («BLM») grazing allotments, active grazing preferences, current grazing practices, and management strategies within the Grassy Mountain Mine Project grazing management study area.
In this context, Kerry Agribusiness embraced the idea of promoting the adoption of best practice grass management techniques among the next generation of farmers through participation in
a Grazing Management Competition.
AgriLife Extension offers the opportunity to conduct field demonstrations of new technologies such as seed treatments, weed control, forage and
grazing management, pesticide and herbicide resistance, and agronomic management practices including planting dates, seeding rates and nutrient management.
However, new research suggests that smart fire and
grazing management can help preserve the natural shelters that provide native animals with refuge from predators.
Our study was conducted in north - western Australia, where small mammal populations are sensitive to changes in fire and
grazing management.
Most research related to
grazing management, and thus carbon sequestration potential, on rangelands cited by Briske et al. [1,2,3] has been short - term and has examined the issue from a reductionist viewpoint that ignores the critical influences of scale, and does not use adaptive multi-paddock grazing to achieve sound animal production, resource improvement, and socio - economic goals under constantly varying conditions on rangelands [4].
Together — and using the most modern methods of science and soils and
grazing management — it is an historic opportunity not just to sequester carbon but to build resilient and secure communities and conserve biodiversity.
