As stocking rate increasesswardutilization improves, but at the cost of lowered output per head, because of grazing severity restricting animal intake.From theCambridge English Corpus

Effects ofswardheight and bulk density on bite dimensions of cattle grazing homogeneous swards.From theCambridge English Corpus
The influence ofswardcondition on rates of herbage growth and senescence in mixed swards under continuous stocking management.From theCambridge English Corpus
It is concluded that forb-rich swards are suitable for the preparation of high quality silages.From theCambridge English Corpus
This suggests trade-off between intake potential and other factors influencing dietary preference asswardconditions changed.From theCambridge English Corpus
The herbage from the swards was ensiled in laboratory silos and the silage quality analysed.From theCambridge English Corpus
The swards were cut four times per year.From theCambridge English Corpus
He followed this with experiments in which stocking rate was shown to have major effects on animal production from grazed swards.From theCambridge English Corpus
This management created strips for eachswardtype which were either immature and relatively short, or mature and relatively tall.From theCambridge English Corpus
At the time of sowing, there were marked differences in the amount of bare ground andswardheight due to the fencing and cultivation treatments.From theCambridge English Corpus
On bare soil 39% of both the dung-covered and buried seeds germinated, in perennial grass swards 24-43%, and under tree canopies 10- 24% respectively.From theCambridge English Corpus
