Description
In the Basque country the dairy ewe production system is based on a high pasture utilisation by means of partial time grazing where ewes spend a limited number of hours outdoors (Oregui et al., 1997). This production system, which is also typical of other Mediterranean areas, is different from that in northern Europe where continuous grazing is the usual management. There is a lack of knowledge concerning grazing behaviour under these conditions. This research investigated the effect of time spent on pasture on grazing behaviour.
