Milking frequency management in pasture-based automatic milking systems: A review (2014, background): “Sward height can also influence bite mass, which affects total DMI (Barrett et al., 2001; Rook et al., 1994).”
Behavioural mechanisms of intake rate by heifers grazing swards of contrasting structures (2014, methodology): “, 2001), resulting in a daily herbage intake reduction (Barrett et al., 2001; Baumont et al., 2004).”
Canopy morphology and nutritional quality traits as potential grazing value indicators for Lolium perenne varieties (2002, background): “…such as sward surface height (SSH), herbage mass (HM), bulk density (BD) and green leaf mass (GLM) have all been implicated as having an effect on intake during grazing (Black & Kenney 1984; Ungar et al. 1991; Laca et al. 1992; Penning et al. 1994; McGilloway et al. 1997; Barrett et al. 2001).”
Management targets for maximising the short-term herbage intake rate of cattle grazing in Sorghum bicolor (2012, background): “As a consequence of herbage depletion, the foraging dynamics are altered and the short-term herbage intake is reduced (Barret et al., 2001; Baumont et al., 2004).”
