Abstract

Temporal and spatial factors have different effects on GRAZING BEHAVIOR so that different temporal parameters including the speed and distance walked by livestock are among the factors that can serve as an important tool in grazing management. This research was conducted in ANJEDAN, a semi-steppe region in Arak province, in different months of grazing season (five months) during 2007-2010. To determine the parameters, a GPS, attached to the livestock, was used in a certain day of each month of grazing season. THE SPEED OF LIVESTOCK MOVEMENT, the length of distance walked by livestock, and THE TIME SPENT FOR GRAZING, rest and movement were recorded. The data were analyzed in a completely randomized design and the means were compared using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. According to the obtained results, THE SPEED OF LIVESTOCK MOVEMENT, the length of distance walked by livestock and the time spent for rest and movement showed significant difference during the studied years as well as in the months of grazing season. THE TIME SPENT FOR GRAZING did not show significant difference in different years; however a significant difference at 5% level of probability was recorded in different months.More grazing, movement and rest and less distance walked by livestock were recorded when the environmental and climatic conditions were appropriate for the growth of range species especially annuals.
