Summary

Adaptive multi-pasture grazing (AMPG) has been shown to be able to increase pasture productivity and thus both animal performance and the economic performance of livestock enterprises. This grazing method is currently applied on more than 21 million hectares of pastures worldwide. Although it has been rapidly adopted in many countries, experience with AMPG in Estonia is still limited. In order to achieve this objective, this activity aims to gather information from research, literature and publications on what could be optimal AMPG management under Estonian conditions. A pilot period was carried out on 2 Estonian farms, and the species composition of pasture plants, forage value, soil density, earthworm species and total weight on the experimental grassland were studied.
