Description
Dairy sheep production systems in the Basque country are pasture based. Forage resources are managed by shepherds who match herbage, forage and supplement availability with production requirements. This is achieved through a part-time grazing system, where ewes spend 3 to 7 hours grazing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of restricted access to pasture on milk production and quality.
