What to consider when grazing during dry conditions
In areas prone to drought, special grazing management is required. The vegetation must not be too short, and the plants and roots need more rest periods.
In this conversation between PD Dr. Andreas Steinwidder and Dr. Walter Starz, practical strategies for grazing on drought-prone areas are discussed, such as the frequency of use, the grazing system - short grass, paddock or strip grazing, the pasture plant population with its rooting depth and much more.
