Livestock / Animal Husbandry
Additional field(s): Environment & Ecology | | English term or phrase: grazing pressure | Definition from IFAD :
The relationship between the number of animal units or forage intake units and the weight of forage dry matter per unit area at any point in time; an animal-to forage relationship. May be expressed as animal units or forage intake units to forage mass (animal units/forage mass at a specific time).
Example sentence(s): - An optimum grazing pressure is one in which available forage matches animal needs; this is analogous to the quantity of forage offered daily to animals in confinement when rations are balanced. The Pennsylvania State University
- The different grazing pressures were obtained through different stocking rates, adjusted every 21 d according to forage mass, predicted forage production rate, and an estimated forage allowance of 10, 15 and 20 kg dry matter (DM) heifer-1 d-1 for high, medium, and low pressures, respectively. American Society of Agronomy
- Stocking rate and annual average grazing pressure (with or without account for feral animals) did not appear to be, in themselves, good indicators of sustainability. Rather, the sustainability of different areas/systems and the impacts on sustainability of changes in management, e.g. stocking rates, may be assessed better through calculating year-to-year variability of the feed base, and periods of critical grazing pressure. cababstractsplus.org

| betestryck | Definition:
Den inverkan betesdjuren har på den mark där de betar. Vid ett lagom betestryck behåller betesmarken sitt utseende, och örterna och gräsen fortsätter att producera sig för att ge djuren erforderlig näring. Vid för lågt betestryck, beroende t.ex. på alltför få betesdjur, kan betesmarken börja förbuskas och växa igen. Vid för högt betestryck kan slitaget på vegetationen bli alltför kraftigt, betesväxternas återväxt äventyras, djurens tramp skadar och ogräsväxter vinner inträde. |
