Feeding behavior analysis provides information about the relationships between animals
and pastures. Therefore, this review aims to describe some aspects of the feeding behavior …

The question of how much time a foraging herbivore should spend in a patch of food poses
a central challenge in classical foraging theory. However, there remains uncertainty about …

Breeding of temperate forage grasses is aimed at improving the economic and
environmental sustainability of production from cattle and sheep. The primary objective is to …

Grazing is a fundamental process affecting grassland ecosystem dynamics and functioning.
Its behavioral components comprise how animals search for feed, and gather and process …

The relationship between herbage intake by herbivores and herbage available depends on
the interaction between sward structure and animal behaviour. This relationship is a crucial …

One of the variables in the structure of the sward with the most influence on the short-term
herbage intake rate by grazing ruminants is the canopy height. The objective of this study …

We investigated the spatial distribution of radio-marked wildebeest (Connochaetes taurinus)
in the Serengeti ecosystem in relation to the distribution of their food resources, comparing …

The effects of sward structure and bite weight (W) on bite rate in cattle (Bos taurus) were
examined to explain the behavioural components of handling time. Three oesophageally …

Pastoral farming contributes significantly to total agricultural emissions of greenhouse
gases, and stocking rate is the simplest grassland management decision. A study was …

On rangelands, uneven or unmanaged livestock distribution can adversely affect plant
community composition, riparian function, or displace wildlife. These issues have historic …
