Cattle Grazing of Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge) Sward Canopy as Influenced by Dung Deposition
Publication Date
1989
Location
Nice France
Description
It is commonly observed in a grazed pasture that the grazing animal rejects the herbage on and near the dung pat (Marsh and Campling, 1970). However, quantitative information on the dung-induced changes in herbage consumption is very limited. In this study, cattle grazing of the dung-deposited sward canopy is compared with that of the dung-free sward canopy in order to clear the cattle dung effect on the herbage consumption in a bahiagrass pasture.
