Rotational grazing is a livestock management technique in which animals are moved from one pasture to another on a planned schedule.
The idea behind rotational grazing is to allow the vegetation in each pasture to recover and regrow between grazings, which can improve the quality and quantity of forage, reduce soil erosion, and improve animal health and productivity.
In grazing, pastures are divided into smaller paddocks, and the livestock are moved to a fresh paddock on a regular basis, typically every one to three days. This controlled grazing system helps to distribute the animals’ impact evenly across the land and reduces overgrazing, leading to improved forage production, soil health, and animal health and performance.
