| In Denmark private farmers under contract with the society manage many nature conservation areas on low-lying organic soil. In the contract the grazing system is poorly difined in relation to the goals and there is a lack of monitoring intruments for practical use in natural areas. Thus there is a need to define grazing system indicators, which should make it possible toevaluate effect from grazing and provide a feed-back to the goals. To describe the effect of grazing on the vegetation structure, detailed measurements of sward heights, species composition, species phenology, distance to flowering speecimens of Juncus effeusus I. or J. conglomeratus I. were carried out in paddocks grazed by 1st year steers at two different levels of plant species diversity... |

| Den overordnede baggrund for projektet var at få nogle kvantitative beskrivelser af, hvorledes man med forskellige former for ekstensiv græsmarksdrift kunne besvare eller øge artsdiversiteten på ferske enge. Samtidig ønskedes at kvantificere konsekvenserne for den landbrugsmæssige produktion på arealerne. Ferske enge varierer meget med hensyn til plantebestand, jordbundsforhold og fugtighed, og det er derfor væsentligt at kende disse faktorer, når man skal vurdere, hvilken produktion, der kan forventes på et givet engareal. Når stude og får afgræsser på halvkulturarealer er der et større udvalg af arter end der er på intensive græsmarker. Desuden er der som regel en lavere belægning, hvilket betyder at dyrene har gode muligheder for at selektere i det... |

| In Denmark, some of the grassland in marginal areas are abandoned for agricultural use - grassland that it is of interest to preserve because they have a high actural or potential natural quality when managed with extensive grazing or cuttting. A comparison was carried out for three years on sward productivity and weight gain of the steers at two grazing intensities on wet semi-natural grassland. The daily weight gain of steers was on average 667 g at low and 477 g at high grazing intensity. Sward grass yield as dry matter (DM) production was on average 4.1 Mg DM ha4, with no significant difference sound between the two gazing intensities. In vitroorganic matter digestibility (IVOMD) was rexpectigely 56.4 and 53.0 at high and low grazing intensity. It is... |

| The conserve or improve floristically diverse grassland areas, there is a need for some agricultural management to avois scrub vegetation. Description of the forage quality of the most common species in these swards will make it easier to make appropriate use of the forage produced. The objective was to determine forage quality by analysing for in vitro organic matter digestibility (IVOMD) and neutral detergent fibres (NDF) of individual species commonly occurring in low lying semi-natural grasslands in Denmark. Eight species of grasses, eight herb species and one species of rush were collected in June and July under grazing and cutting. However, a large variation between species was found. The IVOMD varied from 416 to 780 g kg-1 organic matter (OM) and... |
