Resumen
In Southern Patagonia, continuous grazing with fixed stocking rates in large paddocks prevails over grazing systems subjected to regular evaluations and rotational rests. Because of this, sheep extensive systems need technologies to improve their production levels under sustainable management.

dc.description.abstract | In Southern Patagonia, continuous grazing with fixed stocking rates in large paddocks prevails over grazing systems subjected to regular evaluations and rotational rests. Because of this, sheep extensive systems need technologies to improve their production levels under sustainable management. In this context, the aim of this work was to provide knowledge of sheep habits (diet, daily activity and spatial distribution patterns) in seven paddocks at a production scale throughout the year in Southern Patagonia. The area is an extensive ecotone between forest and steppe, characterized by a rugged landscape with valleys and mountains. Three vegetation types were distinguished in each paddock: forest, steppe and wetland. After a two years trial, sheep showed an important array of strategies for facing restrictions imposed by climate and low forage availability. A strong dietary selectivity, a high percentage of time allocated to grazing, large explored areas and opportunistic selection of vegetation types explained the capacity for reproduction under Southern Patagonia harsh conditions. The application of an intensified management involving paddock subdivision and separation of vegetation types should consider how sheep grazing strategies are limited. | eng |
