In today's video, Christian takes us to Sundhult, where we learn about the benefits of small paddocks and adaptive rotational grazing. Here, our highland cattle graze in beautiful pastures, and we use a method that promotes both the animals' and the land's health.
Christian explains how we use temporary fences to easily adjust the layout of the paddocks. This allows us to rotate the grazing areas efficiently and let the land recover. We have a stable and permanent outer fence, while the temporary divisions inside make it easy to customize the grazing as needed.
The benefits of this method are numerous:
Improved soil health: By reducing pressure on individual land areas, soil structure improves, and its ability to retain water and nutrients is enhanced.
Higher biological diversity: Grazing rotation promotes the growth of different plant species, contributing to a more robust ecosystem.
More efficient grazing utilization: Animals always have access to fresh and nutrient-rich forage, improving their health and growth.
Reduced risk of parasites and diseases: By regularly moving the animals, we reduce the risk of parasite and disease accumulation.
Environmental benefits: Better soil health can increase carbon sequestration and improve water infiltration, which is good for the environment.
Economic benefits: Reduced costs for feed and healthcare, along with increased productivity, make this a profitable method.
Animal welfare: Highland cattle can exhibit natural behaviors, reducing stress and promoting overall health.
