A grass plant's ultimate goal is to grow up, put up an inflorescence, have it pollinated, then as it dies, allows those seeds to be spread by wind or animal life. Daughter tillers lie in wait for the next perfect set of growing conditions to grow again, either later in the year, or same time next year.

When a grass is grazed or mowed prior to reaching that ultimate goal, it is forced to go back to "square one" and start regrowth again to make another attempt to that ultimate life-goal of a grass plant. This is primarily why grasses will grow after grazing.

The other reason grasses will grow after grazing is because of the environmental conditions still supporting its ability to do so: Sunlight, good soil temperature, adequate moisture, active microbes in the soil giving it the nutrients it needs in exchange for extra liquid carbon, the works. Once those conditions become less than good for growing, a grass plant will slow growth down to a crawl, like molasses in winter.

But the key for grazing is to graze a grass plant before it has both reached maturity and just before it has started to push up an inflorescence. Doing so gives good quality for the livestock, and the necessary boost needed to get that grass to grow back once those animals have taken the single bite that needs to be taken from that plant before being moved on.

This, folks, is what good grazing management is pretty well all about.

When a goat eats grass what form of energy passes directly from the grass to the goat?

The energy transfered is in the form of chemical energy. The biomass of the grass is transferred to the goat in the form of chemical bonds. The enzymes within the goat's stomach break down the grass cellulose into simple usuable sugars. On average, only about 10% of the grass consumed is actually converted to the useable chemical energy. The rest is turned to biological waste.


Is grass seedless?

Grass is not seedless. Grass seed is planted to grow grass. We do not see grass seed on our lawn because we are constantly mowing or trimming the grass before flowers and seeds are created. If grass is allowed to grow without cutting it down then flowers will form and eventually there will be seeds.
