Abstract
Ayrshire cows close-folded (30-35 cows per acre) on highly fertilized pastures and moved daily were compared to similar animals on rotation pasture (6-7 head per acre rotated at intervals of 3-4 days). The increase of production per acre from close-folding amounted to 20-40%. This could be related to the increased efficiency with which the available pasture was consumed.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
