In paddock grazing, the desired growth height on the first day of grazing is a decisive factor for the number of paddocks required. The influence of different target growth heights on the annual yield and grass growth was examined on a permanent pasture area at the experimental farm of the Institute for Organic Agriculture and Livestock Biodiversity at the Higher Federal Teaching and Research Institute for Agriculture Raumberg-Gumpenstein in the vegetation year 2013.
