stocking rate

One answer that could be applied as a small part of a solution is creating a cattle stocking rate for a region.

High stocking rated demand management of a high order and regular attention.

Due to the arid environment, the stocking rates are low, at about one sheep per three to four hectares.

This allows managers to set the appropriate stocking rate to best attain a desired vegetation height.

It offers advice on handling, suitable accommodation, stocking rates and humane slaughter.

Rainfall and stocking rate emerged as factors influencing ingestion.

It also rests and protects the grassland, leading to better early growth and higher stocking rates.

Summer stocking rate of ewes has been increased from 7.5 to 10 to 12 to 15 ewes/ha.

This is a maximum stocking rate.

Stocking rates were high near the coast but low in the mountains and the stock produced from the mountains was less marketable.

Farmer peer pressure, in combination with recently changed government policies, is reducing stocking rates and improving pasture conditions.

In recent years water pollution has increased since stocking rates of grazing animals have become higher, and there is an increasing use of fertilizers.

Mr Beckett makes the point that before embarking on such a venture the land would need to be fully assessed to determine the stocking rate.

"It helped us get our stocking rate down" during the drought, Mr. Veseth said.

Heavy use of fertilisers and high stocking rates had maintained a tight-cropped monoculture of little interest to wildlife.

At a relatively high stocking rate, or high ratio of animals per hectare, manure will be evenly distributed across the pasture system.

The grazing properties surrounding Lake Galilee manage grazing pressure through stocking rates.

A producer is able to use stocking rate data to more efficiently and evenly distribute grazing livestock in areas of rangeland.

The flora typically supported on them is generally of very poor nutritive value for grazing, so that typically only low stocking rates are practicable.

It can be controlled in some European locations by increasing available potassium and phosphorus, increasing stocking rate and improved drainage.

Other uses for range condition scoring include making adjustments to stocking rate of grazing livestock as the range condition score changes in a certain pasture.

When district rangers want to cut stocking rates, ranchers routinely get on the horn to Washington and request a transfer for the person who's making their life difficult.

An entire government department has as its charge to attempt to retain soil, regrow the woodlands, revegetate the interior, and regulate sheep stocking rates.

Shade, insect repellent impregnated ear tags, and lower stocking rate may help prevent IBK.

Stocking rates and rotational grazing patterns exist that reduce the incidence of shinnery oak poisoning of cattle.
