Management of grazing circuits in order to promote extensive livestock welfare Artigo de Conferência uri icon

resumo

  • In Northeast Portugal, small ruminant production is an extensive activity based on daily movements of livestock around their villages. Driven by sherperds, goat and sheep flocks use several daily itineraries. Some decisions about the circuit's organization are greatly influenced by the environmental conditions because animals are very sensitive to extremes of temperature and availibility of resources
