grazing
Grazing is the act of animals feeding on grass and other low-growing plants in a pasture or field. This behavior is common among herbivores, such as cows, sheep, and goats, which rely on these plants for their nutrition. Grazing helps maintain healthy ecosystems by promoting plant growth and preventing overgrowth of certain species.
In agriculture, grazing is often used as a sustainable method for livestock management. It allows animals to naturally forage for food, reducing the need for supplemental feed. Proper grazing practices can improve soil health and enhance biodiversity in the environment, benefiting both the animals and the land.
