Guidelines for Optimal Forage Use in Rotational Grazing Systems

This document outlines essential practices for managing rotational grazing systems effectively. It emphasizes the importance of allowing livestock to graze the upper third of plant leaves, ensuring they access higher quality forage and avoid lower quality basal leaves and stems. Key recommendations include matching the rotation periods with forage growth and maintaining sufficient ground cover during grazing. Implementing these guidelines can enhance animal health, improve land sustainability, and optimize forage utilization.
