Document Summary
Advanced equine management, 01/19/2017, rotational grazing, dr. burns. The goal of rotational grazing is to protect the root of the plant. Always leave a three-inch residual on the grass: failure to do this increases the time needed for the plant to regenerate and kills some of the root, the three-inch residual is the powerhouse of the pasture. Types of forage: warm season grasses. Timothy it has to be shipped in to the southeast. Orchardgrass an annual in the southeast and a perennial in the north: cool season annuals plant around september 15th. A drought always ends with a flood. For meat animals, performance means gain per pound of feed (adg. ) For horses, performance may mean riding or activity level. However, in the equine industry, we usually supplement with hay anyway. Not only do horses eat differently than other livestock, their foot traffic is worse.
