Livestock grazing systems

Livestock grazing systems are methods of managing how animals like cattle, sheep, or goats are fed on pastures or rangelands. They vary based on timing, intensity, and duration of grazing. Common types include continuous grazing (animals graze one area all season), rotational grazing (moving animals between fields to prevent overgrazing), and strip grazing (using temporary fences to control access). These systems aim to optimize grass growth, maintain healthy ecosystems, and meet agricultural needs, balancing animal nutrition with land conservation. Proper grazing management supports sustainable livestock production and prevents land degradation.
