Strip Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Advantages: Improves forage utilization, minimizes wastage, and can lead to higher milk production. Management Techniques: Using electric fencing to delineate strips, adapting strip size based on forage availability and herd size, and moving the fence regularly.

Mob Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Advantages: Can increase soil health and fertility, reduces weed pressure, and simulates natural grazing patterns. Management Techniques: Very high stocking density for short periods, extended rest periods for paddocks, and close observation of animal impact.

Prescriptive Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Advantages: Tailored to specific environmental and land management goals, can improve biodiversity, and promotes healthy ecosystems. Management Techniques: Use of mixed animal species, targeted grazing in specific areas, and integrating grazing with other land management practices.

StarStarStarStar

Continuous Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Advantages: Requires less labor, infrastructure investment is lower, and animals have constant access to pastures. Management Techniques: Regularly monitoring pasture conditions, managing stocking density, and occasionally moving animals to prevent overgrazing.

StarStarStarStar

Managed Intensive Rotational Grazing (MIRG)

StarStarStarStar

Advantages: High forage yield, quality, and regrowth speed. Reduces the need for supplemental feed. Management Techniques: Frequent rotations, high stocking density, and careful planning of pasture layout.

StarStarStarStar

Rotational Grazing

StarStarStarStar

Advantages: Maximizes forage usage, improves pasture quality, and reduces soil compaction. Management Techniques: Dividing large pastures into smaller paddocks, regular movement of livestock, and monitoring forage growth.
