Management of grazing circuits in order to promote extensive livestock welfare
| Resumo: | In Northeast Portugal, small ruminant production is an extensive activity based on daily movements of livestock around their villages. Driven by shepherds, goat and sheep flocks use several daily itineraries. Some decisions about the circuit's organization are greatly influenced by the environmental conditions because animals are very sensitive to extremes of temperature and availability of resources. |
