Description
Great importance in the grassland management has been given to the paddock system, since it allows animal rotation. However, fencing costs must be minimal without affecting animal or pasture performance. Thus, it is necessary to obtain results that can be applied to a wider range of grasslands, taking into consideration that each pasture could show a different performance. The objective of this study was aimed to determine the minimum number of paddocks necessary for grazing dairy cows with pastures of greater and lesser aggressiveness.
