Technical link Key technical points Implementation season / month 1. Division of Grazing Land The first step is to divide the available grazing land into smaller paddocks or sections. This division can be based on natural boundaries, fencing, or other markers. The size and number of these sections depend on the total area available, the type of forage plants, and the number and type of livestock. 2. Grazing Schedule Livestock are moved from one paddock to another according to a planned schedule. This schedule is designed to allow grazed sections time to recover and regrow before being grazed again. The rotation pattern can be adjusted based on the growth rate of the forage, seasonal changes, and the nutritional needs of the livestock. 3. Water Management Adequate water supply is essential for both livestock and forage crops. Water management strategies may include developing water points within each paddock, rainwater harvesting, and ensuring that moving livestock does not lead to overuse of any single water source. 4. Monitoring and Adaptation Continuous monitoring of soil health, forage quality, and animal health is crucial. Based on this monitoring, adjustments may be made to the grazing schedule, the division of paddocks, or other management practices to improve sustainability.
