- W94494333 abstract "Domestic herbivores are important for an efficient utilization of marginal areas dominated by heathland vegetation from both productive and environmental points of view. In this paper we review some information on grazing behaviour and feed intake, animal performance and grazing effects on biodiversity resulting from a SERIDA research farm, focusing on horses compared with ruminants. Horses, like cattle and sheep, prefer to feed on quality herbaceous vegetation, whereas goats combine herbs and scrub throughout the grazing season, being the most complementary species with the other herbivores. Thus, equines compete with cattle and sheep for the same preferred plant resources. Mares show better body weight (BW) changes than cows in heathlands, although calves achieve higher gains than foals. Equines show better productive responses in gorse (Ulex spp.) dominated than in heather (Ericaceae) dominated heathlands. In partially improved heathlands (with 25% of sown pasture), the productive efficiency of equines is lower than that of sheep (lower BW gains per livestock unit of foals compared to lambs), similar to that of goats, and higher than that of cattle (lower BW losses of mares compared to cows at the end of the grazing season), due to their ability to utilize short swards, as well as gorse-dominated shrublands, and to their lower body size. When good quality plant resources (e.g. native grasslands or improved pastures) are available, equines should be managed as complementary to the other domestic herbivores. Equines may be an efficient tool to remove senescent matter and reduce unpalatable species such as gorse, thus contributing to the enhancement of better quality herbaceous vegetation, to the reduction of fire risk, and to biodiversity conservation." @default.
