Grazing animals walk outdoors and harvest fresh herbage from a three‐dimensional
canopy. Botanical composition and grassland management in various farming systems …

Agriculture, and livestock production in particular, is criticized for being a contributor to
global environmental change, including emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Methane …

Grazing distribution patterns of large herbivores are affected by abiotic factors such as slope
and distance to water and by biotic factors such as forage quantity and quality. Abiotic …

The outcome of many high-order processes in ecology depends on the way in which the
abundance and distribution of plants affect the eating rate of mammalian herbivores …

Grazing is a fundamental process affecting grassland ecosystem dynamics and functioning.
Its behavioral components comprise how animals search for feed, and gather and process …

A estrutura de uma pastagem é uma característica central e determinante tanto da dinâmica
de crescimento e competição nas comunidades vegetais quanto do comportamento …

The rate of food intake exerts an important influence on many aspects of herbivore ecology,
including diet and habitat choices, social organization, and predator avoidance. When food …

The relationship between herbage intake by herbivores and herbage available depends on
the interaction between sward structure and animal behaviour. This relationship is a crucial …

One of the variables in the structure of the sward with the most influence on the short-term
herbage intake rate by grazing ruminants is the canopy height. The objective of this study …

We evaluated the effect of different grazing intensities by steers on animal performance,
herbage intake and CH 4 emissions in the stocking period of a soybean-beef cattle …
