Presentation transcript:

What Grazing Animals Eat Is a Function of: Dry Matter Intake Time Spent Grazing range is 4 - 10 hours Limited forage: need to graze for longer periods Ruminants need almost equal amounts of time for grazing, rumination and rest Biting Rate: how fast? range is 30 - 80 bites/minute (cattle) Bite Size how much an animal can consume in one bite Only intake factor we can control with grazing management! Our Goal: Maximize bite size of high quality forage with few bites per plant to balance plant/animal needs Slide Source: Rhonda Gildersleeve
