Extract

1. The effects of restricting the daily grazing hours of indigenous cattle have been studied on grazing behaviour and cattle weights. The cattle grazed on natural veld.

2. Three cattle-management treatments, i.e. free range, moderate kraaling (11 hr. grazing day) and severe kraaling (7 hr. grazing day), were compared during seasonal periods of low cattle-weight gains, large cattle-weight gains and large cattle-weight losses.
