Description
To optimize animal and pasture performance in management intensive grazing systems, pasture production and quality often must be compromised. Rotationally-stocking pastures at slightly taller grazing heights can increase pasture productivity, but lower forage quality may limit animal performance. Our objective was to compare the forage quality of common cool season pasture species in the Northeastern U.S., under two rotational grazing regimes defined by slightly different grass heights.
