Grazing behavior

Grazing behavior refers to how animals, like cattle or sheep, feed on vegetation such as grasses and herbs. It involves selectively choosing foods that meet their nutritional needs while altering their environment through continuous foraging. This behavior typically includes slow, methodical movement across a landscape, biting and chewing plants, and sometimes resting before resuming grazing. Grazing is essential for their survival and impacts ecosystem health by managing vegetation growth. It is influenced by factors like food availability, habitat, and the animal's nutritional requirements, and plays a vital role in maintaining balanced ecosystems.
