Ingestive behaviour of grazing ruminants: meta-analysis of the components of bite mass
M Boval, D Sauvant - Animal Feed Science and Technology, 2019 - Elsevier
Bite mass (BM) is the main parameter determining intake, production level and efficiency for
grazing ruminants. Various data have been published concerning BM and its components …

Reducing enteric methane of ruminants in Australian grazing systems–a review of the role for temperate legumes and herbs
In Australia, 71% of agricultural greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are enteric methane

Cattle don't care: Animal behaviour is similar regardless of grazing management in grasslands
It is well known that rangelands lose productivity and ecosystem function under excessive
rates of livestock stocking, however the role of the spatio-temporal distribution of grazing …

Using Targeted Grazing to Close the Phenological Niche Exploited by Invasive Annual Bromes
Phenological differences between native and invasive plants can facilitate invasion, but can
also be targeted by management. In the western Great Plains of North America, the invasive …
