Successful grazing management of stockers requires knowledge of plant growth characteristics. Maintaining abundant leaf area is critical to support photosynthesis and plant growth as well as to provide nutritious grazing for the animals. Controlling stocking rate, stock density, and lengths of grazing and recovery periods can optimize individual animal rates of gain and gain per acre while maintaining pasture productivity. Various plant resources, perennial and annual, can be used strategically to provide the quantity and quality of forage needed by stockers throughout the year.
成功管理架子牛的放牧需要了解植物生长特性。保持充足的叶面积对于支持光合作用和植物生长以及为动物提供营养丰富的牧草至关重要。控制载畜率、存栏密度以及放牧和恢复期的时长,可以在维持牧场生产力的同时,优化单头动物的增重速度和每英亩的增重。多年生和一年生的各种植物资源可以被策略性地利用,以提供架子牛全年所需的饲料数量和质量。
