ORGANIZATION OF CORRAL GRAZING FOR THE RATIONAL USE OF PASTURES

Abstract

Irrational use of pastures leads to degradation of pastures and, accordingly, to a shortage of pasture feed for the production of competitive environmentally friendly livestock products. When pastures are used haphazardly, a lot of feed is lost due to trampling, a decrease in their utilization rate and other reasons. Early and continuous grazing of the same pasture area for several years leads to rapid depletion of the herbage and loss of valuable forage grasses from its composition. Therefore, there is a need for the introduction and development of pasture turnover. Rational use of pastures and hayfields is provided by a complex of organizational and economic measures, proper grazing of grass stands and care for them. The article considers the organization of a corral method of grazing cattle of the meat direction, which allows to increase the efficiency of using pasture productivity in the LLP "North Kazakhstan Agricultural Experimental Station" of the Akkayyn district of the North Kazakhstan region. The pasture capacity and grazing duration are calculated for each paddock, which allows the grass to recover before the next grazing without harm and trampling.
