Grazing and Range/Pasture Management
Also known as pastoralism, grazing livestock have been around for millennia, ever since domestic animals--cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, horses--have been successfully domesticated. Grazing involves the consumption of forages and range or pasture management is a tool used to control grazing activities of livestock, primarily in effort to improve the quality of the land.

mathematical answer
-------------------------------------------
let
one cow graze th field in n days
initially length of the grass = g.
grazing rate for the cow= r;
growing rate of the grass =R;
now
g+ no.of days* grazing rate=no. of the cows *no. of days *grazing rate.
g+3*R=3*3*r ---------->(1)
g+6*R=2*6*r ---------->(2)
g+n*R=1*n*r ----------->(3)
on solving the equation (1) and (2)
r =R
i.e. grazing rate = Growing rate
hence
we can say that one cow can not finish the grass from the field
manually
put r =R in equation (4).
g+n*r=n*r (Invalid equation )
without using mathematic we can also solve it logically
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
as we know that grass is continuously growing, if cow is grazing at one place, grass id growing at other places, hence it can not be finished

It could mean one of two things: A pasture spring could mean that there is a natural water source in the pasture, hence a spring. Think of the springs in the mountains where ground water emerges. There are springs also in pastures, particularly if the pasture is located in the mountains or foothills somewhere.
The second thing is if I switched the words around to "spring pasture." This just means that new grass is emerging after the winter snows have melted. Spring pasture is when the grass is new and lush, and the perfect time to put the livestock out to graze.
What industry developed during the age of pastures?
corn is grown in pastures, and paved the way for the invention of kellogs corn flakes
15.7^2 meters
Why was there so little room for grazing animals in ancient Egypt?

Which biome occurs in the us and once contained huge herds of grazing herbivores?
I have 2 answers:
answer 1: Its grassland because the grasslands have lots of grass and plants right?? So then herbivores would go there and start devouring grass and plants and stuff like that.
answer 2: It can also be the rain forest because the rain forest has lots of fruit such as bananas and mangoes. Monkeys eat hem and other animals do to like us...except we don't live in the rain forest.
Hope it answers your question!!
a grazing are is an area of grass where animals(cows, horses, ect) graze (eat grass)
Can you leave the stud in the pasture with a foaling mare?
Wild horse stallions obviously remain with their mares...a domestic stallion can potentially remain with his mare's year round as well. Only the stallion owner
can determine whether this is a viable husbandry alternative.
Grazing can have both positive and negative effects on soil health. Positive effects include increased nutrient cycling and soil aeration from animal trampling. However, overgrazing can lead to soil compaction, erosion, and decreased organic matter levels, which can degrade soil quality over time. Rotational grazing practices can help mitigate the negative impacts and improve soil health.
Will spreading fresh horse manure in a grazing pasture harmful?
No if you put a ligh layer over the pasture then no, this is actually extremly benificial to the grass (for horse manure is great fertilizer).
Mid spring is the best time to plant pasture grasses. The seeds have to be fertilized and then packed down so they grow better. DO NOT GRAZE FOR A YEAR. If you do that is the quickest way to kill your pasture. The roots have to establish themselves enough so that they will be able to propogate for the years to come. It also gives the plants enough time to reseed themselves and grow tillers to increase your pasture yield per acre.
Often when the grasses first come up the pasture will be just covered in weeds. Don't be alarmed. All you have to do is cut the weeds down with a swather or haybine. Once you get the weeds off (get them baled up right away so you don't kill the newly seeded grasses underneath), the grass will really take off and a person wouldn't know that you had weeds on there in the first place. The advantage of grasses is that their growth points are low to the ground, so if you cut the weeds you don't hurt the grasses. Most weeds are not part of the grass family, which means that their growth points are at the top of the plant, not near the ground. So if you cut off grasses that are trying to grow, don't panic, they will grow back, and remarkably quickly. The grass can grow so fast that the weeds won't even have time to rejuvenate themselves: the new grass will just choke them out. Some weeds are grasses, but in a pasture they are still grasses, and the livestock will eat them most of the time. Quack grass, for example, is a favorite of cattle. It is considered a weed in crops, but in pastures, they're just part of the whole equation.
The reason I recommend to cut your weeds instead of spray them is because it is cheaper to cut or mow them instead of spending more money on buying herbicide, spending the time to get everything mixed the right way, etc. It's cheaper to cut/mow, plus it's faster as well.
The unfenced grazing land of the west was given this name?
the unfenced grazing land of the west was given the name called the open range.
A pasture can provide fresh forage for your horse?
Yes it can, my old horse used to be out all year round and as long as supplemented if the supply is low or not of good quality they should be fine. You need to ensure that the area is clear of dangerous items and plants ie ragwort.
You do need to make sure that if there is lots of grass or if it is very rich that you ensure your horse is limited as they may get ill.
Named after its inventor, Louis Pasteur, Pasteurisation is the act of heating a liquid such as milk to destroy any harmful bacteria and other microorganisms which are potentially harmful to humans when consumed.
How much hay and grain should you feed per goat per day in winter assuming good forage and pasture?
apples
Most stallions (every breed) aren't used till 3years (they are more mature), but they CAN cover mares as early as 2yrs, so be sure you're prepared for foals earlier!
I would suggest waiting until both testicles have dropped, for that way he'll be more fertile.
If they do not drop, you have a problem, and you should talk to a horse doctor.
What energy transformations take place when cows graze in a meadow?
Chlorophyll converts the sun's energy within the grass so the grass can grow. The, cows convert the grass into energy by digesting the grass.
Where can you find the liberty cap mushroom?
in early September to end of october on a Dewey morning in a field or meadow where sheep or cows graze and there is plenty of poo as it has fertiziled the land
What effect does superphosphate have on pasture pH?
in a 1 % solution by weight superphosphate has a pH of 3 so it will lower the pH of the environment it is introduced to ie. a pasture.
What is pasture mix for horses?
pasture mix is a supplimentary requirement needed to bulk out the horses diet, and gives added roughage to stop compaction. It consists of normal chaf and pony nuts.
What is a management and sustainment plan for rangeland degradation and desertification?
It depends on the area that a plan has to be done for. Unless one can specifically tell where this degradation and desertification is happening, be it in the Rough Fescue grassland of Central Alberta or the Foothills of Montana, among other places, only then can we really come up with a suitable management and sustainment plan for rangeland degradation and desertification for that area.
Typically with any plan we need to have a long-term objective (over 5 to 10 years), a basic detailed outline of what should be done (for instance, decrease grazing pressure, use of fire to increase rangeland productivity, etc.) and a short-term plan of how things should be carried out (i.e., a step-by-step process of how decreasing grazing pressure or how a different grazing plan will increase rangeland health and how it will be carried out).
But as far as that, there's no telling of how an actual plan can be laid out without the knowledge of where this plan should be allocated.
Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. This Law applies to anything you plan on doing, no matter if it's rangeland management, improving land for better conservation management, or even if you are farming. Things don't always go to plan, for some reason or another. Weather and human error are the main culprits to make the implementation of rangeland sustainment efforts more challenging, because you are not working in a controlled environment like you would in a laboratory. You are subject to Mother Nature's moods, no matter what you can or cannot do. And humans make mistakes; they are not perfect. So, "Even the best of plans laid forth do not always meet the desired result." I hate to say it, but it's as simple as that!
