The Utilization of Smooth Bromegrass (Bromus inermis) under Rotational and Strip Grazing Systems of Pasture Management. I. Animal and Pasture Production^{1, 2,}

Departments of Animal Husbandry and Agronomy Alaska Agricultural Experiment Station, Palmer

ABSTRACT

Two efficient systems of grazing management were compared during 1953 and 1954. A practical system of utilizing electric fencing for strip grazing has been described.

Total utilization of a single species grass pasture (Bromus inermis) at a moderate level of production was only slightly more efficient when strip grazing was employed than when conventional rotational grazing was used. Nearly all the potential production from a pasture of this type was utilized under a good system of rotational grazing.
