Abstract

Animal spatial selection behaviors were modified by rotational grazing, which reduced the grazing area, overlaid the grazing stations, and made more evenly uses of grasslands. Animals in the rotational system had a shorter grazing time, longer time for resting, ruminating and standing. High feed intake, as well as high digested energy and proteins, were achieved with rotational grazing.
