Artificial pasture is more or less equivalent to the term "tame pasture" in North America. It is a pasture that contains grasses that are tame, non-native or "soft" over grasses that are native, wild or "hard." The latter is called "natural pasture." Artificial pastures contain grasses that are more vigorous, competitive and tend to have a much higher forage biomass over a growing period than native grasses do, making them ideal for grazing in a controlled system over a nomadic pastoral system typical of natural pastures. Native versus artificial pastures are terms that are used in eastern Europe, parts of Asia and Africa.

Yes. It is perhaps the best way to feed your horse as this is what horses evolved to eat. Often pastures provides a horse with adequate nutrients than what hay and grain can provide. It is best if the pasture has several different grasses because this adds to more diversity in tastes and nutrient-intake for your horse, as different species of grasses tend to take up nutrients differently. But, be aware that lush pasture can be detrimental to your horse's health, because of the high nutrient quality that can be equivalent to a "hot" diet if fed too much too often. This can, most commonly, lead to founder.
A horse should either be fed free-choice hay along with their grass diet, especially in the spring time when the grasses are at their growing stage, or only put out to pasture an hour or two at a time. It is best to avoid having horses graze the pasture when the grasses are at their high-growth stage, and only wait until the grasses are around 10 inches in height before you let them out. One horse should have at least 2 acres to graze on, however this really depends on where you live. You may be able to only graze one horse on 10 acres, whereas others 1 acre is quite enough.
Keep a sharp eye for signs of founder, and only let them out for short periods of time during the day, if you can. If you can't be around to put them in after a short period, have them have access to coarser forage like hay to aid in the digestion process. Also exercise them to keep them from gaining weight on such a good quality pasture.

They use their molars to chew their food,but they can't chew if their teeth are pointy.If a horse has pointy teeth float their teeth.How to float them is you use power tools to grind the teeth down.

he discovered bactirea and invented a process called pastuerization.
that is why we can drink milk for 3 - 6 days after it is prossced. or we would all be dead of bactirea that is what he did okokokokokokokokokokokokok.
An elastoplast, Aloe Vera juice or Colloidal Silver and a bit of time will heal it just fine. Always depending on how serious the cut or graze is of course. If it's not too bad then just keep the graze clean and let it dry in the fresh air.

Though I will provide somewhat of a "band-aid" solution to the problem, the thing you should know is that this is a sign of poor pasture management. Cows that have enough pasture to graze within the confines of the fence-line will not bother trying to stretch wires or break boards to get at the grass on the other side. If your pastures are grazed to the point where they look like golf greens, you have a big pasture management problem that needs attending to.
Now, the management problem could be either because you have too many animals on your land, or you have no management system in place to allow pastures to rest. However, if you already have a some sort of rotational grazing/management-intensive grazing system in place, the problem may be just in this "sacrifice pasture" you have, and I may be jumping the gun in giving the questioner heck on something he or she is doing right in the first place!
So, what you can do depends on what kind of fence you have. If you got iron panelled fence, I wouldn't worry about it. Iron fencing is strong enough that it won't give away as easily as a 2" x 6" board or wire. If you got board fence, high tensile or barbed wire fencing you may want to do one of two or three things:
1) Run an electric fence that is nose-level with your cattle. Use the electric fence on a problem section of your board or barbed wire fence. With the barbed wire fence, make sure the wire isn't contacting the wire because this could short out the hot-wire and defeat the electric fence's purpose. With the board fence you could nail electric wire insulators to each post. If necessary, put another wire a couple feet off the ground. With the high-tensile fence, it can be electrified so either you have some wires shorting out on something that is not making it more electrified than it should be. Connection with wire from another fence, tall grass, a tree branch, or lack of grounding from your grounding rod are the possibilities of weaker voltage.
2) (This will work also for high-tensile, barbed and board fencing) Run an extra wire or board below the ones that are large enough for a cow's head and neck to squeeze through. Going either along the problem spot or spots may help alleviate the problem.
3) If you are really desperate, or you have an old dilapidated fence that needs replacing, re-wire or re-board the fence so that the wires or boards are closer together preventing the cow to stick her head through. But I wouldn't recommend this since this is much more work than necessary, much more than simply running an electric fence or stringing up extra wire.
some people just give then a round bale in a round bale holder and that lasts a from 5-6 days maybe lees depending on how many horses you have but i throw out 1 1/2 bales a day for my 3 year old and its gone by the next day
A ranch typically holds anywhere between 100 and 500,000 cattle (or more). Depending on what size ranch you are talking about, since a ranch can be any size from 50 acres to 100,000 acres, more or less, I would guess than an average number for all ranches in North America is 1,000 head of cattle. But like I said, all ranches are different in size, and all ranches have different numbers of cattle.
Grazing livestock is the most cheapest way of feeding livestock any producer can come up with. Grass is cheap--not to mention free, if you already own some land--and it's worth making use of as much as possible as often as possible. Just be careful not to overuse it--as on overgraze it--because you may end up with less grass than more over time.
Other reasons people choose to graze their animals include the following:
No. "Graze" is an adjective to describe an activity of herbivorous animals eating plants that grow close to the ground, like grass. Another definition for "graze" is to lightly touch or brush by an object, causing a slight abrasion in passing.
The Monkeys, being high up will be able to see predators approaching and when they give their alarm calls for this, the antelopes have learned what this means so they too get an early warning.
You should feed roughly the same as in the other months if the winter weather does not drop below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. If it does however you should add and extra 1-5 pounds of hay per 5 degrees below 40 the temperature drops.
Understand that overgrazing is a function of time, not number of animals. If you understand that, and change your grazing management practices for the grass, not the animals, you will prevent overgrazing, and actually find you will get much more grass than you thought you could have.
Timing is everything, and bunching your animals up to mimic the bunched herds of grazing herbivores always eating and moving in response to predators. Except you and the temporary electric fence are the predators.
The time spent to graze should be much shorter than the time allowed for the various paddocks to rest. Rest time will depend on the season and the forage, and you. You can have as little as 30 days to rest or as much as 12 months or more. But don't graze the same paddocks in the same order every year, remember to change things up because you can influence plant community dynamics in each paddock if you do that; encourage diversity by being diverse with your paddock moves.
You can make things a lot better by simply changing the way you see things and changing the way you manage the system.
Specifying the area inside the fence doesn't tell you the dimensions, and the
length of fence needed to enclose it (the perimeter) depends on the shape.
-- The minimum fence that can enclose 1 acre is 740 feet (73 fence posts),
around a circle with a diameter of 236 feet.
-- The minimum fence that can enclose 1 acre with straight sides is 834 feet (83 fence posts),
around a square with 208.7-foot sides.
-- If it has straight sides but it's rectangular (not square), then the bigger the
difference is between the length and width, the more fence (and posts) you need.
For example, if the pasture is 6-ft wide and 7,260-ft long, it's exactly one acre,
the horses have to stand in single-file while they graze, and it takes 14,532 feet
of fence (1,453 fence posts) to enclose it.
The Clouded Leopard hunts. They do not graze. It is from the order "carnivore", and it hunts it's prey. That usually includes both tree dwelling, and ground dwelling mammals. The Gibbons, Macaques, Civets, Deer, Birds, Porcupines, and domesticated livestock when necessary. The Clouded Leopards that live in captivity also eat eggs, and occasionally vegetation. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
Heat and light energy gets transformed as energy for the plants to grow via the process of photosynthesis. The cows eat the grass, using the grass as an energy source to live and move around. Thus the grass, though indirectly, provides a means of kinetic energy that the cows use to move around and graze in the meadow.
NO. Cattle eat grass and plants, not manure.
