Grazing capacity
Grazing capacity refers to the maximum number of livestock or animals that a specific land area can sustainably support over a period without causing land degradation. It depends on factors like the quality of pasture, climate, and management practices. Essentially, it indicates how many animals this land can feed naturally without overgrazing, ensuring the land remains healthy and productive for future use. Properly assessing grazing capacity helps prevent land degradation and maintains ecological balance while providing enough forage for livestock.
