Sentence examples similar to foraging mass from inspiring English sources

Grazing pressure is defined as the ratio of animal units to forage mass.

Our study thus demonstrates that early life disadvantage can have long-lasting effects on foraging and mass regulation even in the absence of food insufficiency during development.

The forage mass was estimated at each grazing cycle.

Forage mass affects level of grazing intensity and stocking rates to maximize gain per unit land area.

During January and December 2009, we evaluated the effect of forage allowance on forage mass, sward height and tussock frequency, and its consequences on dry matter intake (DMI).

Forage mass and nutritive quality were determined by clipping 0.25-m2 0.25-m2s (8/paddock) before the beginning of grazing and every 2 wk during the experiment.

In the spring, a second set of steers (243 ± 20.8 kg) was placed on pasture with stocking density adjusted as necessary to maintain equivalent forage mass across pastures.

Livestock concentration, soil compaction and erosion, living plant cover, dead plant residue on the surface, forage mass and height and soil organic matter are some workable aspects of grazing land management.

Both forage mass and nutritive value are uniquely linked to animal performance; however, the priority role is different for C3 versus C4 forages because of the substantial differences in percentage of protein and digestible DM.

Stocking management allowing a 30-day grazing cycle for Guinea grass sward (T30d) produces higher forage mass, supporting a higher stocking rate and thereby increasing productivity in dairy farm.

The experimental design was a randomized complete block (landscape features) with a split plot arrangement of treatments where main plots were pasture fertilization treatments (mineral, clover plus mineral, and broiler litter) and split plots were low and high forage mass.
