	abstract = {Grazing of lactating cows is a decreasing practice in Europe despite numerous potential benefits. In parts of Europe, farmers are
required to graze all dairy cows for at least six hours per day during summer, but little is known about the effect on the performance
of high-yielding animals. A study was undertaken to investigate the effects of the following treatments on high-yielding
Holstein cow performance: continuous housing (C; control) with a total mixed ration (TMR), a six-hour grazing period directly
after morning milking with TMR offered ad libitum when housed (EG; early grazing), a six-hour grazing period following morning
milking with 75\% of ad-libitum TMR when housed (RT; restricted TMR), or TMR access for one hour following morning
milking, followed by a six-hour grazing period (DG; delayed grazing) then housed with TMR offered ad libitum. Total dry matter
intake (DMI) was similar in C, EG and DG but lower in RT (26.9, 26.0, 26.7 and 23.8 kg DM/cow/d; P <0.001; SED 0.524). Milk
yield was also lowest in RT, with mean values of 45.7, 44.2, 44.9 and 41.7 kg/cow/d in C, EG, DG and RT respectively (P =0.001;
SED 0.993). High-yielding cows can be grazed for a six-hour period during the day with little impact on milk production provided
TMR is unrestricted when housed.},

	abstract = {Allocating spatially separated forage choices to grazing animals overcomes constraints inherent in mixed pastures and   sustainably delivers the required diet composition, satisfies their desire for mixed diets, and so offers a simple way to   enhance the delivery of the benefits of current and novel forage attributes.  Sheep offered grass and clover in this way   increased daily dry matter intake by 265 g/day (25\%, P<0.05) compared with conventional pasture and sustained 60-70\%  clover in their diet.   Milk production by cows was boosted by 11\% (2.4 kg/cow/day, P<0.01).},
