Notice Title

Understanding rotational "mob" grazing: impacts, benefits and trade-offs

Notice Description

Well planned and managed rotational "mob" grazing may have the potential to offer productivity and environmental benefits, but relatively little research has been done on the practice in the UK. This study will objectively analyse benefits, trade-offs and any wider impacts through replicated field trials to build understanding on how to appropriately exploit any potential gains.
