English term or phrase: grazing pressure
Definition from IFAD:
The relationship between the number of animal units or forage intake units and the weight of forage dry matter per unit area at any point in time; an animal-to forage relationship. May be expressed as animal units or forage intake units to forage mass (animal units/forage mass at a specific time).

Example sentence(s):
  • An optimum grazing pressure is one in which available forage matches animal needs; this is analogous to the quantity of forage offered daily to animals in confinement when rations are balanced. The Pennsylvania State University
  • The different grazing pressures were obtained through different stocking rates, adjusted every 21 d according to forage mass, predicted forage production rate, and an estimated forage allowance of 10, 15 and 20 kg dry matter (DM) heifer-1 d-1 for high, medium, and low pressures, respectively. American Society of Agronomy
  • Stocking rate and annual average grazing pressure (with or without account for feral animals) did not appear to be, in themselves, good indicators of sustainability. Rather, the sustainability of different areas/systems and the impacts on sustainability of changes in management, e.g. stocking rates, may be assessed better through calculating year-to-year variability of the feed base, and periods of critical grazing pressure. cababstractsplus.org

opterećenje pašnjaka


Definition from hrčak:
Opterećenje pašnjaka nije preveliko, što se može uočiti po tome da u nadzemnoj biomasi praktički nema bodljikavih i otrovnih biljaka koje stoka obično tijekom paše izbjegava, pa takve biljke kod intenzivne paše počinju sve više prevladavati.

Example sentence(s):
  • (Vrste pašnjaka; Pašnjak kao posrednik u prenošenju bolesti; Priprema životinja za ispašu; Organizacija ispaše pojedinih vrsta životinja; Opterećenje pašnjaka, Uređenje pašnjaka). - veterinarski fakultet sveučilišta u ZG  
  • napasivanje: - kontinuirano - paša po cijelom pašnjaku (malo stoke, selektivno, preveliko opterecenje, nema obnavljanja). - pregonsko - na pregonu 1-3 dana - zavod za hranidbu domaćih životinja  
  • Utjecaj gnojidbe dušikom i pašnog opterećenja na produktivnost i kvalitetu planinskog pašnjaka - croatian science bibliography  

Explanation:
Napasivanje je trajalo maksimalno 24 sata po pregonu, ovisno o raspoloživoj biljnoj masi, a opterećenje pašnjaka bilo je od 10 do 12 junica po pregonu, ...
