  2. Rotational grazing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotational_grazing

    Rotational grazing of cattle and sheep in Missouri with pasture divided into paddocks, each grazed in turn for a period and then rested. In rotational grazing livestock are moved to portions of the pasture, called paddocks, while the other portions rest. [2] The intent is to allow the pasture plants and soil time to recover. [2]

  3. Horse management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_management

    Pastures should be rotated when plants are grazed down to avoid overgrazing or deterioration of pasture quality. Manure management is also improved by pasture rotation; horses will not eat grass that contains too much of their own manure and such areas are a breeding ground for parasites. Decomposition of the manure needs to be allowed while ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equine_nutrition

    Grass is a natural source of nutrition for a horse. Equine nutrition is the feeding of horses, ponies, mules, donkeys, and other equines. Correct and balanced nutrition is a critical component of proper horse care. Horses are non-ruminant herbivores of a type known as a "hindgut fermenter." Horses have only one stomach, as do humans.

    In most cases, hay or pasture forage must make up 50% or more of the diet by weight. One of the most significant differences in hay digestion is between ruminant animals, such as cattle and sheep, and nonruminant, hindgut fermentors, such as horses. Both types of animals can digest cellulose in grass and hay, but do so by different mechanisms ...

  7. Manure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manure

    For instance, sheep manure is high in nitrogen and potash, while pig manure is relatively low in both. Horses mainly eat grass and a few weeds, so horse manure can contain grass and weed seeds, because horses do not digest seeds as cattle do. Cattle manure is a good source of nitrogen as well as organic carbon. [3]
