This study tested the hypothesis that variation of herbage allowance during the growing season influences pasture dynamics and grazing behaviour. Treatments consisted of four fixed herbage allowances during the entire year (4.0, 8.0, 12.0, and 16.0%, expressed as kg DM/100 kg live weight/day) and three variable herbage allowances (8% in spring and 12% along the rest of the grazing season; 12% spring and 8% along the rest of the grazing season; 16% in spring and 12% along the rest of […]
