Short Duration Grazing in Rhodesia

Abstract

Remarkable results from a grazing management system were seen in three visits to Rhodesia between 1964 and 1969. The system, Short Duration Grazing, depends on intensive use for two weeks or less with varying rest periods. There are significant indications that the short duration-high intensity grazing period is just as important to range improvement as the rest period. Production records are essential to the success of the system.
