Title: Effect of various grazing systems on type and density of cattle trails
Journal: Journal of Range Management
Authors: J. W. Walker, and R. K. Heitschmidt
Date: 1986
Summary: Authors compared cattle trail density in five grazing systems; continuous (heavy and moderate), deferred rotation (moderate), and rotational (heavy; 14- and 42 -paddocks) according to distance from water and use (primary, secondary, or tertiary trails). Rotational grazing had greater density of trails than the other three systems (which were similar to each other) and there was a significant 3 way interaction between system, distance from water and use. In the rotational system, zones 1 and 2 (closest to water) had the highest trail density, and use by distance interaction (primary trails clo ...
